Garland is doing just fine.

Really? I have seen people get harsher penalties for stealing school supplies than what the Insurrectionists are getting. And the FBI is a feckless joke at this point. Just because he is better than Barr doesn't mean he is fine.

Garland is a weak centrist (which is why McConnell liked him before he disliked him) and is a product of the very system we are asking him to fix. He has no incentive to do so nor is he the right person for the job. He is the William Howard Taft of the DOJ. (great judge, bad at policy)

Anonymous Doing Better At Trying to Save the Country Than the DOJ

The files include years of website purchase records, internal company emails and customer account credentials revealing who administers some of the biggest far-right websites. The data includes client names, home addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and passwords left in plain, readable text. The hack even exposed the personal records from Anonymize, a privacy service Epik offered to customers wanting to conceal their identity.

So what exactly does this company do you ask?

“The company played such a major role in keeping far-right terrorist cesspools alive,” said Rita Katz, executive director of SITE Intelligence Group, which studies online extremism. “Without Epik, many extremist communities — from QAnon and white nationalists to accelerationist neo-Nazis — would have had far less oxygen to spread harm, whether that be building toward the Jan. 6 Capitol riots or sowing the misinformation and conspiracy theories chipping away at democracy.”

More info:

Several domains in the leak are associated with the far-right Proud Boys group, which is known for violent street brawls and involvement in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and was banned by Facebook in 2018 as a hate group.

A Twitter account, @epikfailsnippet, that is posting unverified revelations from the leaked data, included a thread purporting to expose administrators of the Proud Boys sites. One man who was identified by name as administrator of a local Proud Boys forum was said to be an employee of Drexel University. The university said he hasn’t worked at Drexel since November 2020.

Technology news site the Daily Dot reported that Ali Alexander, a conservative political activist who played a key role in spreading false voter fraud claims about the 2020 presidential election, took steps after the Jan. 6 siege to obscure his ownership of more than 100 domains registered to Epik. Nearly half reportedly used variations of the “Stop the Steal” slogan pushed by Alexander and others. Alexander did not reply to requests for comment from the Daily Dot or, on Tuesday, from The Post.

So apparently when the hack happened they tried to play it off as fake news. Even threatened to sue people (the threats are Trump level childish) so Anonymous changed the knowledgebase to prove they did it. This is what they posted:

That Sound You Hear Is Dominion Counting Their (Soon To Be Won) Money

According to emails contained in the documents, Zach Parkinson, then the campaign’s deputy director of communications, reached out to subordinates on Nov. 13 asking them to “substantiate or debunk” several matters concerning Dominion. The next day, the emails show, Mr. Parkinson received a copy of a memo cobbled together by his staff from what largely appear to be news articles and public fact-checking services.

Even though the memo was hastily assembled, it rebutted a series of allegations that Ms. Powell and others were making in public. It found:
  • That Dominion did not use voting technology from the software company, Smartmatic, in the 2020 election.
  • That Dominion had no direct ties to Venezuela or to Mr. Soros.
  • And that there was no evidence that Dominion’s leadership had connections to left-wing “antifa” activists, as Ms. Powell and others had claimed.
As Mr. Coomer’s lawyers wrote in their motion in the defamation suit, “The memo produced by the Trump campaign shows that, at least internally, the Trump campaign found there was no evidence to support the conspiracy theories regarding Dominion” and Mr. Coomer.

More on the Hack

A Linux engineer tasked with conducting an impact assessment on behalf of a client who uses Epik’s services told the Daily Dot that the breach was one of the worst he had ever seen. The engineer did not have permission to speak about the breach by his employer and was granted anonymity by the Daily Dot.

“They are fully compromised end-to-end,” they said. “Maybe the worst I’ve ever seen in my 20-year career.”

The engineer pointed the Daily Dot to what they described as Epik’s “entire primary database,” which contains hosting account usernames and passwords, SSH keys, and even some credit card numbers—all stored in plaintext.

The data also includes Auth-Codes, passcodes that are needed to transfer a domain name between registrars. The engineer stated that with all the data in the leak, which also included admin passwords for WordPress logins, any attacker could easily take over the websites of countless Epik customers.

Garland is a godd@mn lightweight. DoJ announced yesterday they're suing to block the recent AAL-JetBlue partnership on anti-trust grounds. I have two questions:

1. THIS is what you decide to focus on?! Where were you watchdog motherfckers to express this level of concern at any point in the last 15 years of full-on mergers between legacy carriers?

2. When can we expect the announcement of serious charges against any of the major conspirators in the insurrection and attempt to disenfranchise and invalidate the votes of 81m American citizens?

This new DOJ is an epic fail. Worst part of the Biden Administration so far.

Should have expected it. After all, Garland was someone that Obama thought was moderate enough that the GOP might give him an honest look in an election year.

No more moderates, please.
 
I get why Biden went with Garland...Yates would have been laughed out of hearings and he didn't want to have to just put interim people in these positions. (the GOP would have filibustered everything after that nomination) Garland had been the face of everything the GOP spit on to gain power so he was popular with The Left and he is moderate so he isn't hated by the GOP. He won't make waves because he is measured in his response.

In normal times he would be fine. The problem is we are not even a year removed from an attempted overthrow. We can't be slow playing and wrist slapping our way out of it because we don't want to look punitive. If there ever was a time for punitive action it is now. You allow this crap to go unchecked or with barely any punishment you are just Chamberlain giving Hitler The Sudentland in hopes of appeasing him.

Garland should be making examples out of all of them...the FBI should be scaring the bejesus out of them like in Mississippi in the 1960s. (and the FBI was not exactly Pro Black back then) They should not be ignoring ones still committing crimes in broad daylight (and they are) and relying on Twitter to try and figure out who these people are. You are the Department of Fucking Justice start acting like it. This isn't justice this is playing out the string hoping it all goes away. Maybe that works 50 years ago but this is all documented and watched live around the world. We all heard the tape of Trump with the GA SOS. The whole world knows what happened...either sack up or the die has been cast and we are just playing out the string.

That's how the DOJ has always operated. They let mega mergers like Xfinity go through but block 3M from buying Avery Denison because of a supposed monopoly on post its.

I have always assumed that stuff is purely determined by bribery. But I have been known to be cynical.
