AG Garland: ‘Democracy Cannot Continue’ if People Continue to Threaten DoJ

EXCERPT:

GARLAND: "Yes. The threats to the judiciary, threats to prosecutors, threats to law enforcement agents have all spiked significantly, and in some cases have accelerated from threats to actual violence. We have a threats task force engaged in investigating these matters and we intend to aggressively investigate and prosecute threats against our public officials, including members of Congress, of which the numbers have actually exploded in the past few -- couple of years. Our democracy cannot continue if the people who make the democracy run, are afraid, if they make their decisions based on fear of being threatened or of being assaulted.”
