And This Is Why the Public Doesn't Trust the DOJ

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)'s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has released its annual report identifying the top management and performance challenges currently facing the federal agency.

Among the OIG's findings, a lack of public trust in the DOJ remains a "longstanding" problem, Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz announced Monday, and strengthening such trust poses "a significant challenge."

However, in its 59-page report highlighting incidents that have contributed to the department's confidence crisis, the DOJ watchdog largely overlooked transgressions under the Biden-Harris administration, which still reigns. Instead, the OIG looked farther back to Trump's time in office, his first term, as we head into the president-elect's second.

Based on the OIG's oversight work, the inspector general's office blames a medley of Trump-era episodes as reasons why public trust in the institution has eroded over time.

First, the OIG report points to public statements that former federal prosecutor David Freed, a Trump-nominated U.S. attorney, made about an ongoing criminal probe into alleged ballot tampering during the 2020 presidential election.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

The slanted report in itself is the reason American citizens don't trust the DOJ, or any other federal agency.

The IG mainly skipped over the Biden/Harris four years and blamed the mistrust in the DOJ on......

Donald J. Trump. Of course!

Alinsky-ites.

Accuse your would be accuser of precisely what you are doing, thus insulating yourself from scrutiny.

“”59-page report””

Hooray! Annual report of 59 pages. What did the IG do the remainder of the year? I’ve long said IG’s of ANY agency are a total waste of taxpayer $$$. Investigate a problem, write a report and wait for another problem to rear it’s ugly head. Wonder how much of a staff this particular IG has? Yearly payroll?

I’ve seen this guy in congressional hearings and he’s impressive but still a “do nothing job” except for filing reports...Is it against fed policy to be PROACTIVE about problems? Guess so.
