. . ."Gabbard offered, "it's hard not to laugh at his statement where he tried to sound so serious, and so convicted, and so grave about never ever politicizing or weaponizing these government agencies when in fact that is what they are doing currently and what they have been doing for years," including during the Trump administration." 

"On Thursday, as we covered at the time, Attorney General Merrick Garland made some rather tone deaf remarks claiming that the Department of Justice's (DOJ) "norms" are "a promise that we will not allow this department to be used as a political weapon." Garland was promptly called out for such remarks, by the Trump-Vance campaign, as well as former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, once a Democrat, now an Independent who is on the Trump transition team. Gabbard also addressed how her criticism is personal." . . .

. . ."Gabbard brought up how a weaponized and politicized DOJ has been used against former and potentially future President Donald Trump as well, noting that "there's too many to cite," but that they "have been made very clear to the American people and those paying attention with any objectivity, that this is lawfare, this is the kind of thing that happens in dictatorships and authoritarian governments, where those who are in power, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, are weaponizing and politicizing the [DOJ] and law enforcement agencies, both at the federal level and the state level, to take out their political opponent, the greatest threat to their power in a way that has never been done... before in our country's history. That's where he should start!' " . . .
