By taking the side of Chevron in its prosecution of a human rights lawyer (me), the US Attorney General is weakening the rule of law and turning a blind eye to injustice
As an attorney I am appalled that what happened to Steve Donziger could happen in this country. It’s a mockery of the concept of justice and it was simply a case of Chevron demonstrating their power over our Federal judiciary in my opinion. Shame on Kaplan, Preska, Glavin and all judges and lawyers who took a part in this grave injustice.
Merrick Garland, by his actions and his inactions, particularly in regard to Steven Donziger, is showing us who he truly is, and it is not a pretty sight.
Can we believe that such a man will prosecute Donald Trump? I do not think so. Allowing Trump and his enablers to go freely about their business, allowing them continued involvement with the governing of this country, while Steven Donziger is allowed to be hounded by Chevron's lawyers and judges, reveals that Merrick Garland and the Biden administration are content to destroy justice in America. They are playing a fearful game, which will not end well for any of us.
please think about taking Citizens United at face value and treat Chevron and Seward & Kissel as extremely aggressive individuals who need to be prosecuted for assault, libel, and anything else you can think of. Why should Citizens just be about campaigns and just benefit corporations? Let's use it for good!
While I am very supportive of your cause - even focussing on your case in Ep 7 of the final part of the Julian Assange Archive - https://youtu.be/leovVzDQqaU - I am very sad to see you presenting a bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) in support of your cause.
This is particularly mistimed as the truth of the Jan 6 events is only now beginning to be made public - via the Twitter Files etc, with more to come in the new year. Please don't drive away a large body of potential support by including that kind of non sequitur. Of course Merrick Garland is behavinging in a pathetic way. He has done that in relation to the Julian Assange case too. We all see that. The TDS stuff does not assist your argument.
I disagree. The timidity of the Democrats in particular and the Congress in general in the face of the crimes of Donald Trump is part and parcel of the general toleration of criminality in the United States government and the corporations that own it. That is why Chevron is being permitted to prosecute an attorney who won a major case against them for their environmental crimes. It is the same in the case of Julian Assange, who is being punished for revealing the crimes of the U.S. government instead of the criminals themselves. It is not "Trump Derangement Syndrome" but the abandonment of accountability by all powerful forces. It is not a non sequitur at all.

Garland is Biden's little pet rat! Both are idiots.

Nothing makes sense in the DOJ; ever since torture was legalized twenty years ago.
