Attorney General Merrick B. Garland emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of the Justice Department by stating, "We will not allow this department to be used as a political weapon... the nation must not treat law enforcement as a political apparatus." His remarks underline a commitment to impartiality, highlighting that justice should not bend based on political affiliations. He insisted on equal treatment under the law, indicating that there cannot be different rules for friends and foes.
In a call for unity and integrity, Garland said, "In short, we must treat like cases alike... There is not one rule for friends and another for foes, one rule for the powerful and another for the powerless, one rule for the rich and another for the poor, one rule for Democrats and another for Republicans." This statement reinforced the necessity for the Justice Department to uphold fundamental principles of equality and justice without bias.
