Critics are calling for changes to the Biden Department of Justice amid reports it has been abusing its power to pursue partisan prosecutions and overcharge its political enemies.
According to critic Ron Chapman, a defense attorney, the DOJ is accomplishing this by using extra, unnecessary felonies to pressure defendants into pleading guilty — a move reportedly denounced by the American Bar Association for violating defendants’ fair trial rights.
“We have just lost our damn minds when it comes to criminal prosecution,” he told Fox News in an interview. “Ninety-five percent of cases do not go to trial, because prosecutors can find fuzzy statutes to get such high maximums or even mandatory minimums at play, which force innocent people to plead guilty.”
“And that’s what we’re dealing with — we’re dealing with tons of innocent people who may not be innocent of all the crimes, but they’re innocent of the ones that were overcharged against them,” he added.

This administration has used or attempted to use this tactic against virtually all of its enemies, including even whistleblowers.
Recently, for example, Dr. Eithan Haim was indicted on four felony counts of violating medical records laws for committing the supposed crime of exposing all the transgender surgeries for kids occurring at Texas Children’s Hospital.
“The reason they have to come after me is to make an example out of me so other whistleblowers don’t speak out like I did,” Haim told The Dallas Express. “In this case, the process is the punishment.”
“My ability to work is at risk. I may miss the birth of my first child. This is the punishment they want to impose in order to prevent other people from exposing the truth,” he added.
I refuse to back down or to be silenced. But to win, we enter the arena. For us that’s federal court. We’re looking at a budget of at least 500k for the federal trial. Either way we fight. But we need your help.https://t.co/35tRveynMh

Chapman’s confident that Haim’s prosecution is being driven directly by the Biden administration’s chief DOJ goon, Attorney General Merrick Garland.
“This is a Merrick Garland allegation, guaranteed,” he said. “This would have had to come from the top.”
According to Justin Paperny, a federal prison consultant for white-collar criminals, the administration will often “pile on [even] more charges” than necessary if a defendant dares to plead not guilty.
“Overcharging, threats of 20 to 30 years in federal prison, could compel someone who truly believes they’re innocent, to plead guilty,” he told Fox News. “So, many of these cases should be handled civilly at worst, not criminal.”
“Yet, we continue to see prosecutions and people going to prison for very long periods of time, especially those who have exercised their right to go to trial. These people who are going to trial and fighting it against the odds, it’s very inspiring,” he added.
Former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin, who helped blow the whistle on the FBI’s attempts to categorize devoted Catholics as “potential domestic terrorists,” is very familiar with this strategy.
“I think it’s a bigger problem than people think,” he told Fox News. “And so my solution is broader than most people are comfortable with, but we spend roughly $11 billion a year on the investigative agency of the FBI, and people need to ask if the $11 billion spent is solving the problems the FBI was created to solve, and it’s my argument that that problem doesn’t even exist anymore.”
“Most Americans don’t realize that there could be an active national security investigation on anyone. That’s the thing that should scare the bejesus out of Americans,” he added.
As should the fact that this administration has made itself completely immune to prosecution, meaning it has made itself to be above the law.
The proof lies in Garland’s refusal to turn over certain data to Congress, and then the DOJ’s refusal to prosecute him in the face of congressional Republicans voting him in contempt of Congress.
“Consistent with this longstanding position and uniform practice, the Department has determined that the responses by Attorney General Garland to the subpoenas issued by the Committees did not constitute a crime, and accordingly the Department will not bring the congressional contempt citation before a grand jury or take any other action to prosecute the Attorney General,” Assistant Attorney General/goon Carlos Felipe Uriarte reportedly said.
