Justice Department bars non-career employees from attending political events to maintain apolitical appearances

In an effort to prevent an overt display of partisanship in its ranks, the US Department of Justice issued a directive Tuesday preventing political appointees from attending any rally or event for a candidate or a cause in the upcoming election season, Politico reports.

“As Department employees, we have been entrusted with the authority and responsibility to enforce the laws of the United States in a neutral and impartial manner,” Attorney General Merrick Garland wrote in a memo distributed Tuesday.  “In fulfilling this responsibility, we must do all we can to maintain public trust and ensure that politics — both in fact and appearance — does not compromise or affect the integrity of our work.”

The DOJ has been lambasted by Donald Trump and his minions who claim the prosecutors are acting out of political bias and favoritism for Democrat Joe Biden because it’s investigating Trump absconding with classified documents when he left the White House.  Oh, and the potential obstruction of justice he committed in hiding the documents and having made false statements to the government.  And his involvement in planning and encouraging the January 6th Republican-led domestic terrorist attack on Congress.  And this doesn’t mention the investigations being conducted in New York and Georgia.  But the political thing, the GOP claims, is to investigate all these substantiated allegations, not blindly lining up behind the titular leader of the Party accused of a variety of malfeasance.
