Here’s the full statement from Garland:
It is deeply disappointing that this House of Representatives has turned a serious congressional authority into a partisan weapon. Today’s vote disregards the constitutional separation of powers, the Justice Department’s need to protect its investigations, and the substantial amount of information we have provided to the Committees.
I will always stand up for this Department, its employees, and its vital mission to defend our democracy.
Peaceful J6 protesters, pro-life activists, and certainly President Trump would strongly and rightfully disagree with that garbage Garland put on paper.
Conservatives on social media hammered Garland after reading the despicable statement.
