Republicans Launch Investigation into DOJ Over Questionable Release of Assassin Manifesto

The Biden-Harris administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has increasingly demonstrated a disturbing pattern of political bias, selectively enforcing laws and pursuing cases that align with its liberal agenda.

From handling investigations to choosing which crimes to prioritize, the DOJ has veered far from its intended mission of impartiality and equal justice under the law. Instead, it has acted more like a political tool designed to protect the administration’s interests and punish its opponents.

Under Attorney General Merrick Garland, the DOJ has been criticized for turning a blind eye to left-wing extremism while aggressively pursuing conservatives. Cases involving violent protests, destruction of property, and attacks on conservative values are often downplayed or ignored, while conservative activists and politicians face harsh and often disproportionate scrutiny.

This isn’t just negligence — it’s deliberate. The DOJ’s selective enforcement suggests a willingness to bend or ignore the law to suit the administration’s political goals.

From Washington Examiner:
House Republicans have launched an investigation into the Department of Justice following its release of the manifesto left behind by Ryan Routh, the man charged in the second attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

The House Judiciary Committee sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday as the first step in its effort to understand why the DOJ published Routh’s writing, adding that the decision to do so could “cause additional harm to occur,” according to a copy of the letter shared with the Washington Examiner on Wednesday afternoon.

DOJ’s Double Standards: A Liberal Agenda at Play

Time and again, the DOJ has failed to uphold its core responsibility of applying the law fairly, instead opting to protect its allies and target its opponents. The political bias is most evident in its decisions to prosecute — or, more often, not prosecute — certain crimes based on the ideological leanings of those involved.

The Biden-Harris DOJ has refused to prosecute violent leftist demonstrators who have wreaked havoc in cities across America. However, the same department will eagerly go after conservative figures for minor infractions or use outdated laws to push for severe punishments.

This dangerous politicization of the DOJ raises serious concerns about the future of justice in America. If the law is applied unevenly, depending on one’s political affiliations, the integrity of the entire justice system is at risk.

A department that picks and chooses when to act based on political motivations not only erodes trust but also emboldens bad actors who feel protected under this liberal regime. The Biden-Harris DOJ has prioritized advancing a progressive agenda over ensuring equal justice for all.

DOJ Targets Trump: A Dangerous Manifesto Released

In the latest and perhaps most shocking example of the DOJ’s political bias, the department released a manifesto written by a man who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump. This decision is especially troubling given that the DOJ has historically refused to release manifestos from perpetrators of high-profile crimes.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, in a letter to Attorney General Garland, highlighted the inconsistency, pointing out that the release of such materials could inspire future attacks and endanger lives.

The manifesto in question was written by 58-year-old Routh, who attempted to assassinate Trump at his West Palm Beach golf course on September 15, 2024. In it, Routh offered a $150,000 bounty on Trump.

Jordan rightly questioned why the DOJ would choose to release this particular document, noting that it provides dangerous individuals with a blueprint for further violence. The selective release of this manifesto appears to serve a political purpose — to damage Trump not only physically but also politically.

It’s no secret that the Biden-Harris DOJ has been relentlessly pursuing Trump with aggressive and often unconstitutional prosecutions. By publishing the manifesto, the DOJ is not just providing dangerous information to potential copycats but is also engaging in a smear campaign to vilify Trump further.

The timing is no coincidence. With Trump running for president in 2024, this move is yet another attempt to undermine his campaign and stir up public fear against him.

Conclusion: DOJ’s Agenda Threatens Justice

The selective release of Routh’s manifesto is more than just a lapse in judgment by the DOJ — it’s a calculated move that reflects the department’s deep-seated bias against conservatives and particularly against Trump.

At a time when the DOJ should be working to ensure fairness and safety, it’s instead fanning the flames of political division and selectively enforcing laws to favor its liberal agenda. This is not America, which stands for justice for all.

As Chairman Jim Jordan and the House Judiciary Committee continue to investigate the DOJ’s decision, one thing is clear: the department’s actions under the Biden-Harris administration have crossed a dangerous line.

The release of this manifesto, along with the ongoing political persecution of Trump, signals that the DOJ is willing to compromise justice in the name of politics. If this kind of bias continues unchecked, the rule of law in America will remain under threat.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Biden-Harris DOJ has shown clear political bias, targeting conservatives while ignoring left-wing violence.
  • The DOJ selectively released a dangerous manifesto from a man who attempted to assassinate Trump, sparking concerns of inspiring future attacks.
  • This release appears politically motivated, aiming to harm Trump both physically and in his 2024 presidential campaign.
