New in PJ Media:
Not content with politicizing the FBI to the extent that it participated in the frame-up of a sitting president and investigated angry parents at school board meetings as “domestic terrorists,” Gestapo chief Merrick Garland is now taking his act to the international stage: the irredeemably corrupt and compromised FBI is now probing the killing of a Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian reporter for Al Jazeera, despite the fact that even the State Department has determined that her death was accidental. The government of Israel investigated and took responsibility for her death, saying the Israel Defense Forces killed her but also found that it was accidental. And now a new documentary offers compelling evidence that the Israelis didn’t kill Abu Akleh at all; the Palestinians did. Either way, why is Garland investigating?
The Washington Free Beacon reported Wednesday that “a watchdog group,” the America First Legal Foundation, “is asking the Justice Department to turn over all internal documents related to its decision last month to launch an FBI probe into Israel’s accidental killing of a Palestinian-American reporter.” The Free Beacon notes that “Israel conducted its own investigation in the matter with cooperation from the U.S. State Department and determined that Abu Akleh was accidentally killed by a stray bullet fired by Israeli soldiers. While the State Department said it was satisfied with Israel’s probe, the DOJ decided to involve the FBI after a cadre of far-left lawmakers in Congress pressured it on the matter.”
There it is. The relentless Leftist ideologue Garland is pandering to the administration’s far-Left, anti-Israel base, and his actions have not gone unnoticed. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said that Garland and “everyone involved in this disgraceful stunt” should be “investigated and then either fired or impeached.” Reed D. Rubinstein, the America First Legal Foundation’s senior counselor and director of oversight, declared that “this underhanded and legally indefensible ‘investigation’ demonstrates, yet again, how thoroughly the Biden administration has corrupted and politicized the Department of Justice.”
Indeed. And it’s even worse than that. While the Israelis have taken responsibility, French filmmaker and investigative journalist Pierre Rehov, who has produced multiple documentaries about the jihad against Israel and related issues, has produced a new film, Lies and Tears, that goes into depth about exactly what happened on May 11, 2022, when Shireen Abu Akleh was killed. What Rehov found is disturbing and suggests that both the U.S. State Department and the Israelis failed to take crucial evidence into account during their investigation, evidence that actually exonerates the IDF and points the finger at the Palestinians to whom Garland is pandering.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Garland and the DOJ should stick to their pay scale and stay on American cases ,to think that this lunatic Garland could have been a Supreme court judge is truly crazy .This case is between the PLO( a terrorist organization) and the Israel army aka government of Israel ,it does not involve the American government or America citizens on either side of this shooting. Garland and the DOJ has no power or right to judge or to look into this case.
Keith O says
The obvious question is who ordered the FBI to investigate the death of a non US citizen in a foreign country?
James Lincoln says
Merrick Garland is the US Atty. Gen.
The trust that I have in him to do his job in a competent and unbiased / nonpartisan manner is zero.
Absolutely zero – and that is a tragedy.
ABD2022 says
IDF never admitted to killing Abu Akleh.
Maybe the FBI should check the death of the American sports journalist in Qatar 3 days ago.
