Merrick Garland

Isaac Newton’s third law of motion famously states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction: If you push an object, for example, the object pushes back against you with equal force. It turns out this isn’t just a law of physics. It’s a law of politics. President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks thus far have run the gamut from traditional and well-established (Sen.…

NBC’s Seth Meyers mourned on Thursday’s edition of Late Night that our “stupid system” has enabled Donald Trump to escape his legal difficulties and that there are those in the Democratic Party who think the reason why he won is because they are too far left.

With much of the national media ghoulishly obsessing over fringe conspiracy theories about Hurricane Milton and Russia-related claims from Bob Woodward’s new book, Real Clear Politics’s Philip Wegmann actually did his job Wednesday in pressing White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on claims in the Woodward book about Ukraine and President Biden reportedly regretful he made Merrick…

On Friday's Washington Week with the Atlantic on PBS, News Hour reporter Lisa Desjardins brought up Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland (whom the House Republicans voted to hold in contempt) and the earth-shattering news that he’d penned a Washington Post op-ed calling Republican criticism of the Biden Justice Department “baseless, personal, and dangerous.”

Attorney General Merrick Garland offered a “fiery defense” in a “grueling hearing” of a House Judiciary Committee “stocked with far-right stalwarts,” as The New York Times described it.

After a day of fiesty questions from Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee to corrupt Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland, ABC's World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News melted down with rage due to Republicans daring to hold Garland accountable for protecting President Joe Biden's crackhead son Hunter Biden and throwing the book at Donald Trump. 

Even though the various legal cases against Donald Trump are taking place in the obviously partisan environment of a presidential election, an examination of ABC, CBS and NBC evening news coverage finds the networks rarely identified even elected Democratic prosecutors as “Democrats.”

The House Judiciary Committee just hit the scandal-ridden, corruption-filled Department of Justice with fiery subpoenas in connection to a damning investigation.
