I'll believe him when I see Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi in jail.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Merrick Garland said in an interview
that aired Sunday that he would resign if asked by President Joe Biden to
take action against Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump. But
he doesn't think he'll be put in that position.

“I am sure that that will not happen, but I would not do anything in that regard,” he said on CBS “60 Minutes.” “And if necessary, I would resign.
But there is no sense that anything like that will happen.”

The Justice Department is at the center of not only indictments against
Trump that include an effort to overturn the 2020 election and wrongly
keeping classified documents, but also cases involving Biden's son Hunter,
the aftermath of the riot at the U.S. Capitol and investigations into classified documents found in the president's home and office. Garland has appointed three separate special counsels.

Garland has spoken only sparingly about the cases and reiterated Sunday he would not get into specifics, but dismissed claims by Trump and his
supporters that the cases were timed to ruin his chances to be president
in 2024.

“Well, that’s absolutely not true. Justice Department prosecutors are nonpartisan. They don’t allow partisan considerations to play any role in
their determinations,” Garland said.

Garland said the president has never tried to meddle in the
investigations, and he dismissed criticism from Republicans that he was
going easy on the president's son, Hunter, who was recently indicted on a
gun charge after a plea deal in his tax case fell apart. Hunter Biden is
due in a Delaware court this week.

“We do not have one rule for Republicans and another rule for Democrats.
We don’t have one rule for foes and another for friends," he said. ”We
have only one rule; and that one rule is that we follow the facts and the
law, and we reach the decisions required by the Constitution, and we
protect civil liberties."

Garland choked up when talking about his concerns over violence,
particularly as judges and prosecutors assigned to the Trump cases got
death threats.

“People can argue with each other as much as they want and as vociferously
as they want. But the one thing they may not do is use violence and
threats of violence to alter the outcome,” he said. “American people must protect each other. They must ensure that they treat each other with
civility and kindness, listen to opposing views, argue as vociferously as
they want, but refrain from violence and threats of violence. That’s the
only way this democracy will survive.”
