Growing outcry against DOJ strong-arming of Biden critics

The FBI and the Justice Department are violating civil liberties and using brutish tactics during politically motivated and highly publicized raids and arrests targeting critics of the Biden administration, according to legal experts.

These displays of force, which some observers have claimed are unnecessary and designed to humiliate those arrested and intimidate others, appear to have at least one thing in common: the person of interest supported former President Donald Trump.

"Law enforcement seems to be using arrest tactics on Trump supporters that are generally reserved for violent and/or fleeing suspects," said Alan Dershowitz, professor emeritus at Harvard Law School. "They do not seem justified in many of these cases."

The most recent case occurred late last month, when federal agents searched the Virginia home of former Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark, surprising the one-time Trump administration official in the morning.

Last week, CNN obtained and aired bodycam footage of the raid, which took place one day before a public hearing by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot that examined Clark's role in supporting Trump's efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election.

The video shows federal agents forcing Clark to step outside his home in just a dress shirt and underwear, not allowing him to put on his pants first despite multiple requests to do so.

The feds also reportedly seized electronic devices from Clark's home. According to Clark, 12 agents and two local police officers were there and searched his home for three hours.

"Any sane person should be able to see that the government has been particularly overzealous in exercising its authority in these politically-charged cases," said attorney John Irving, a former federal prosecutor. "A lack of good judgment damages the credibility of the Justice Department and people's faith in our institutions."

Irving is the lawyer for another recipient of alleged Justice Department overzealousness, former Trump White House trade official Peter Navarro.

Activities that once a long time ago the ACLU would be leading the charge against such abuse of process.

Today's ACLU would indeed be leading the charge. That's it. That's the whole statement.

So the DOJ has perhaps discredited itself even with the center left? Makes sense. Know several liberals turned off by the contrast between the over-zealousness to Navarro vs the clean skate of the Hillary operative in the same time frame. They commented on it, brought it up first.

Mark Reed Levin commented on the similarities between the Jan. 6th hearings and tactics used by Stalin.

The Democratic Party leadership is corrupt beyond belief and has absolutely no ethics or honor.

Anyone considering voting for any Democratic candidate should reconsider their voting preferences.
Among the latter, under pretence of governing they have divided their nations into two classes, wolves and sheep.”

And yet, one of the things that people were afraid of Trump doing is what Biden is currently doing.

Crickets from the Democratic propaganda machine.
