"With a potentially bruising Department of Justice confirmation battle looming, both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris now vigorously deny that they would ever direct their attorney general to do their political bidding or target specific opponents.
This would be unremarkable, had they not promised the opposite with equal vigor — and disturbing specificity — during the 2020 campaign. "
"So pay no attention to their unambiguous promise to weaponize the DOJ: “Biden will instruct the Attorney General to” do all manner of things to impose a political agenda or target opponents, including, “(iii) strategically support ongoing plaintiff-driven climate litigation against polluters.”
The latter point of course refers to an expanding litigation campaign by activists and the tort bar to force the progressives’ “climate” agenda on the country, and to enrich themselves through what are in effect taxes paid by consumers, run through massive settlements with energy companies. "
"First, the Biden-Harris vow revives the plan to federally prosecute the “climate” opposition, as revealed in a 2016 colloquy between Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) of the Senate Judiciary Committee and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch."

I suppose the truth will out. Eventually.
