  1. It's been a long time
    But I know Justice will come
    To the children's of our constitution
    Who trust and Believe in our rule of law
    We know the first I'll justice department must
    Pull these haters of our constitution out of power one by one
    And then our country can move forward on the promise of our constitutional laws
    That stands for Justice for All American citizen
    On the hour constitutional laws
    P then everyone will know where they stand
    And they can begin to trust in our America again
    Thank you America
    Thank you to our justice department
    Thank you President Biden
    Thank you AG Garland
    Thank you to the Biden administration
    And thank you to all my fellow Americans that believe and trust and stand with the laws of our Constitution of the United States of America
    We love you you are very very very very very very special
    And may Jesus Christ and God Almighty continue to bless we the majority of the people
    That stands with our government of the USA

  2. What the point ? It's all going to be dismantled if DOJ fails to hold TRUMP accountable for 1/6 And he runs and wins in 2024…he tore apart all that Obama accomplished it's going to be worse with Biden

  3. This is great news. 👏🏼👏🏼🇺🇸🌍🌲🌳🌴

  4. Anything to distract from how bad they made this country in less than a year n half 🤣🤣🤣

  5. Yet one more globalist tool to punish those who don’t bow to idiotic agenda. These are not elected officials but they will make and enforce “Regulations” as if they were laws.

  6. small hats really are America's true enemy

  7. The attorney general is interested in environmental injustice but doing nothing about traitors who tried to overthrow our government. This clown has had nothing to say about ridiculously light sentences- not even recommendations. He could have gotten all the same evidence about Trump and senators responsible but has no intention of prosecuting anyone. This coward was a candidate for the Supreme court but nobody would back this spineless failure. Just when the country needs justice for unprecedented treason we get a milktoast AG looking for distractions

  8. And a Republican President will immediately disband this thing.

  9. Is this a joke???????

  10. Any chance you could indict Trump for treason?

  11. Not the announcement we wanted from you Garland.

  12. More bureaucratic nonsense. Environmental Justice is a phony term. Climate Change being married to social justice (racism). If too many blacks live near a power plant or refinery, etc. spewing pollution, they call it racist. Guess what, whites, latinos, asians, etc live there too. Call out China and India for environmental injustice. Climate Change is a global problem. Environment is separate. Clean up the source.

  13. Just what we need more corrupt regulation! Control, control, control.

  14. I was under the impression that the last administration had repealed most of the US environmental protection laws, and made it illegal for whistleblowers to report companies that commit any of the few remaining environmental crimes.

  15. It will be dismantled once Trump is back in the White House. LOL!!!

  16. THIS IS NOT A PARODY HE IS LITERALLY THIS BRAIN DEAD

  17. Seems like avoidance.

  18. This is better than the Space Force.

  19. Can you dumb government employees even count the the amount of the debt that you have created?.

  20. BS This too big government needs to be cutting government

  21. Environmental monitoring is just fine….BUT how about a Special Prosecutor to oversee Trump's crimes? WEAK SAUCE! Get busy!
