Well yeah.. the DOJ is basically a paramilitary arm for the democrats now. Kind of like how the KKK was for the democrats back in the day - except have WAY more power.

Remarkable how you completely overlook all of Trump's attempts to corrupt the DOJ to serve his political interests while in office, beginning with Sessions and concluding with Rosen. Unlike Barr, however, those two mostly refused to comply.

During Sessions tenure, Trump publically and privately pressured him to go after his political enemies, various employees of the FBI and DOJ, go easy on his allies and put a stop to the Mueller investigation, among other things. When Sessions refused to go along with Trump's demands, stating "While I am Attorney General, the actions of the Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations" Trump was furious and ultimately fired him due to being insufficiently "loyal".

During Barr's reign, his ethical breaches in subordinating the DOJ to Trump's political desires are too numerous to list herein, so I refer you to his Wikipedia page, particularly sections 2.6 - 2.9 for a partial, though non-exhaustive, listing of such. In short, he basically did Trump's bidding in everyway possible, ranging from deliberately misrepresenting facts to the public and the courts, intervening in DOJ investigations pertaining to Trump allies to reduce sentencing (Roger Stone, etc) and/or prevent prosecutions altogether (as in the case of 5 of Trump's cabinet members - Zinke, Acosta, Wilkie, Chao & Ross - who were each investigated by applicable IGs for corrupt practices and referred to the DOJ for potential criminal prosecution, which Barr declined to pursue), among many other things. He also went so far as to stoke mistrust in the 2020 election both prior to and immediately after it until he finally publically admitted (just prior to his resignation), all claims had been thorougly investigated and NO evidence of mass election fraud existed. It's not surprising he's currently facing potential disbarment due to his actions as AG.

Once Barr was gone, new pressure was immediately applied to acting AG Rosen by Mark Meadows to investigate unsubstantiated conspiracy claims about a 'stolen election' and mass voter fraud in the swing states, going so far as to ludicrously claim Italian satellites had been weaponized to manipulate U.S. voting machine counts. Rosen refused to do so, as prior DOJ investigations and dozens of court cases failed to ever produce evidence such.

Seems to me, the current DOJ is weeding out all the corruption and trying to undo the damage Trump inflicted on them during his Presidency.

You do know each president nominates their own DOJ heads, right? For each presidency, the DOJ is corrupted. With that being said, I believe NO president should have control over a system of checks and balances of law.

Right now, we have the DOJ completely ignoring blatant collusion between the Biden family, China, and heads in Ukraine. No one is batting at eye at the obvious money laundering and presidential racket being done by Hunter Biden. Speaking of Hunter.. do you think they are taking time to investigate the underage girls on his laptop? How about the handgun he illegally had in his possession? The one he dumped? Yeah - that’s a felony.

No, the DOJ isn’t investigating any of the riots that took place across each blue city. No arrests have been made for ANTIFA or BLM rioters.

But please, tell me about the “corruption” in the Trump presidency..

Yes, I'm aware that each adminstration generally does a clean sweep of all DOJ attorneys from the previous administration and installs their own. In Biden's case, however, he retained two Trump appointed attorneys; David Weiss, who had been investigating Hunter Biden's taxes and John Durham, who had been looking into the origins of the FBI investigation into Trump's Russia links.

All other active investigations that were going on at the time of the transition get reviewed, on a case by case basis, with some proceeding and others being dropped. I know of at least 3 other cases Garland is continuing with and some the DOJ have rightly dropped - as there's been reporting on each - but no one outside of the DOJ knows everything they're still looking into. Oftentimes, it's not until indictment charges are filed that news of a particular investigation becomes public. A classic case of that is the recent arrest of Trump's campaign advisor and inuguration committee chair, Tom Barrak, for lobbying and acting as a foreign agent for the UAE.

As far as DOJ not investigating the riots of last year nor any arrests regarding such being made, that is simply not true. I don't know what media you follow but the ones I read all reported on such. Barr did in fact push prosecutors to bring federal charges against protesters who caused violence and suggested that in some cases, sedition charges should be applied. Defence attorneys and civil rights activists at the time questioned by the DOJ would even be dealing with such when those type of cases are typically handled on a state and local level.

As of mid October 2020, over 300 people had been arrested on various different charges related to the riots. Here is just of many articles published over multiple months relating to the riots, the investigations conducted and the arrests made...

Latest on Brooks' January 6th rally appearance... it turns out he was wearing body armor at that event due to being tipped off in advance that things could get violent.

Notably, Trump too will find no legal protection by the DOJ against future lawsuits relating to the insurrection.
