Get DOJ out of elections
Feb. 27, 2024, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement in response to the U.S. House Judiciary, Oversight and Ways and Means Committees’ Feb. 12 letter urging the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interviews with President Joe Biden:
“Special Counsel Robert Hur made specific allegations against President Joe Biden that he was ‘elderly man with a poor memory’ who couldn’t stand trial. This unnecessary allegation by the Special Counsel is an effective kill shot against the Biden campaign and the release of transcripts of Hur’s interviews with Biden are necessary to determine its truthfulness.
“Since 2016, the Department of Justice has played a major role in our presidential elections and it must be ended. It was not James Comey’s job to lay out the case against Hillary Clinton, and then say she was unprosecutable, nor was it their job to give credence to politically motivated Russia collusion charges against candidate and then President Trump.
“Today, the Department of Justice finds itself running a dubious set of cases against former President Trump, and the Hur investigation of Biden’s handling of classified documents prior to his presidency went well beyond the facts to question Biden’s fitness for office. America has fallen away from the core principles of elective, representative government as we are now subjected to the Justice Department acting as both opposition researchers and legal shields in the presidential election process. This is dangerous and the special counsel regulations need to be revised or rescinded.”
