Attorney General Merrick Garland testifies that the Jan. 6 insurrection was the “most dangerous threat to our democracy.”

Alejandro Mayorkas and Merrick Garland testified before the Senate Appropriations Committee on the threat domestic violent extremism poses to the country.Attorney General Merrick Garland told the Senate Appropriations Committee on Wednesday that he has not seen a more dangerous threat to democracy than the"invasion" of the Capitol on Jan. 6, which he called in written testimony a"heinous attack" and"intolerable assault.

On Tuesday, Mayorkas established a domestic terrorism branch in the DHS Office of Intelligence & Analysis and established the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships, which is an effort to combat terrorism and targeted violence. Garland said he did not know how long it will take to conclude investigations into the Captiol riot, which sparked one of the largest DOJ investigations in its history. As of this week, Garland said more than 430 arrests have been made in connection with the insurrection amid investigations that span"almost the entire country." .

He said Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco has recently been leading a review of the department's procedures, meeting with heads of all of DOJ's law enforcement agencies"to determine how we can carefully vet our own employees, again, always being mindful of First Amendment and free associational rights."

The Evangelical Taliban and their chosen one the orange fired guy are the soul of the domestic white supremist terrorist. Start the indictments and watch them climb out of the walls and expose themselves even more.

More proof this guy should have never been allowed on SCOTUS. Good call to prevent that from happening. It's May and he's still talking about Jan., when not one business was burned to the ground.

HE LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THOSE 'WOKE' FBI AGENTS...😏

I'm pretty sure 9/11was the 'most' dangerous threat!...or Nancy pelosi!

I believe it started from the left in an effort to blame and discredit the right; they did a great job, but then they always do.

And another AZ GQP makes a complete ass of themselves. Please keep it up because it is working... we are voting you all out one position at a time! Old white people are dying out and being replaced with younger, more politically aware voters! I'm loving the color change to blue! The trend has almost flat-lined. Quick, raise a stink before it reverses. 🙄 Arizona AG wants attention. Nitwit.
