U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland asked Congress on Tuesday to provide more funding for investigating and prosecuting domestic terrorism, saying it poses an “accelerating” threat that keeps him up at night.
Garland, who had served as a federal appellate judge and federal prosecutor before President Joe Biden nominated him to lead the Justice Department, was testifying about the department’s budget request for the 2022 fiscal year.
“We have a growing fear of domestic violent extremism and domestic terrorism,” Garland told a U.S. House of Representatives budgeting subcommittee. “Both of those keep me up at night.”
He did not name specific violent groups, but members of the far-right Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are among the more than 400 people arrested for the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by former President Donald Trump’s supporters.
Garland said the department is also seeking a “historic investment” of $1 billion in its Office of Violence Against Women, and that the budget proposal includes a $232 million increase in funding to help combat gun violence.
He needs to buy a few guns. He would feel safer and sleep better.
Oh fk you. You sleep like a baby, cause you know your screwing average hard working Americans.
Then call off Antifa and BLM.
Happens everytime we have a democrat in the white house
Typical Democrat wants more money to waste. He is refusing to charge for gun crimes if you are BLM, ANTIFA and other far left groups who violate gun laws. He has not punished Hunter Biden for lying on application to get a weapon. He is lowering / eliminating laws that would punish these criminals.
GETS NO MORE MONEY UNTIL HE ENFORCES THE LAWS HE TOOK AN OATH TO DO.
He is a complete nut and will do whatever they want him to do. Just ask Rudy.
How come democrats never concern themselves with the black on black genocide going on? This because democrats want blacks to kill each other. democrats want black parents to see their children getting murdered. democrats want black children riddle with bullet holes caught in the crossfire laying in coffins.
They are OK with aborting black babies too!
Stop whining and do your damn job!
