A most damaging leak: Biden wants Trump prosecuted

© Provided by FOX NewsWASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 05: U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland speaks at the Department of Justice on January 5, 2022, in Washington, DC. Garland addressed the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

When an attorney general of your party won’t bring charges against someone you like, he is serving the cause of justice and refusing to kowtow to the mob.

When an attorney general of the other party declines to bring an indictment against someone you don’t like, he is a wuss who must be beaten up until he does the right thing.

After four years of slamming Donald Trump for politicizing the Justice Department, especially under Bill Barr, the media is taking a very different approach to Joe Biden and his AG, Merrick Garland.

Since Garland has thus far brought no criminal charges against Trump or his top aides or allies in connection with the Capitol riot, he is now being pressured to do so by Democrats and some media liberals.

This is precisely the kind of pressure they loudly decried when it came from the Trump White House.

The New York Times, without a hint of disapproval, reports that "Democrats’ increasingly urgent calls for the Justice Department to take more aggressive action highlight the tension between the frenetic demands of politics and the methodical pace of one of the biggest prosecutions in the department’s history."

Let’s be clear: When partisans demand indictments, it means they only care about securing an outcome that is favorable to their side. They haven’t seen all the evidence, they have no access to grand jury testimony, they just want a political opponent behind bars.
