AG Merrick Garland Threatens Prison Against Anyone Who Questions Elections Using January 6th As the Example

‘I think our prosecutions have made clear what we think about people who try to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power,’ AG Garland.

‘We’re gonna steal this election and if you try to fight us, we’ll put you in prison.’   This is what 50% of the country heard from Garland.

God this country is totally corrupt.

AG Merrick Garland essentially threatened anyone who may question the results of the 2024 election, and any election after, using J6 political prisoners as an example as a fear tactic.

Garland Makes An Example Of J6 Protesters To Shut Up Anyone Else Who Might Question Elections

By: Brianna Lyman, The Federalist, August 27, 2024

‘I think our prosecutions have made clear what we think about people who try to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power,’ Garland said.

Attorney General Merrick Garland boasted on Friday how his office has prosecuted nearly 1,500 Americans for protesting the 2020 election, warning others they may face similar lawfare should they raise any concerns about the administration of the upcoming November election.

Speaking at a press briefing, Garland essentially said the Jan. 6 prosecutions should serve to remind Americans what happens if they raise questions about an election.

“I think our prosecutions have made clear what we think about people who try to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power, which is [an] essential and fundamental element of our democracy. A quibble about whether we have 1,500 or slightly less than 1,500 — but we have way more than 1400 now — prosecutions. We have a substantial number of convictions,” Garland boasted.

“I think that’s shown to everybody how seriously we take an effort to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power the last January 6, the coming January 6, and every January 6 after that,” he continued. “I want to make clear to anybody who is thinking about interfering with that: They can see what we’ve done with respect to the January 6 prosecutions, and [the] Justice Department will continue to protect our democracy.”

Director at Big Data Poll Richard Baris explained in a post on X why Garland’s comments are so alarming.

“This is what 50% of the country heard from Garland. ‘We’re gonna steal this election and if you try to fight us, we’ll put you in prison.’ God this country is totally corrupt,” he wrote.

“DOJ prosecutors and DC judges are warning that the hammer will come down on any American who protests the 2024 election results,” echoed independent journalist Julie Kelly on X after Garland made his press conference statement. “They treat J6ers like mass murderers,” she continued, citing comments from Obama-appointed District Judge Tanya Chutkan “lecturing a J6 protestor convicted of a misdemeanor.”

The DOJ brought the “hammer” down in the wake of the 2020 election, as Garland made clear. The DOJ charged hundreds of protesters — including a “praying grandma” in her 70s — under a federal statute that the Supreme Court later ruled was used in an over-broad capacity.
