The following article is a supplement to the MRC Report: The Biden Administration Waged War on Free Speech with 57 Censorship Initiatives.
Initiative #55
The Refusal to Investigate Censorship
Type of Censorship: Direct Action
Agencies Involved:
- Department of Justice
- Criminal Division
Summary:
As this report has detailed, the Biden censorship initiatives were vast, varied and spanned dozens upon dozens of government bureaus and agencies. The Murthy v. Missouri litigation alone provided 162 pages of formal documentation of censorship across four separate government departments (Commerce, Health & Human Services, Justice and Homeland Security.
Despite the mountains of efforts of pervasive, illegal censorship throughout the government, Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice did not just refuse to prosecute any perpetrators, it refused to even launch a single investigation into federal government censorship, prosecutorial resource waste, unconstitutional action or direct work with foreign governments to censor Americans.
Key Individuals:
- Joe Biden, President of the United States
- Merrick Garland, Attorney General
- Kenneth Polite, Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division
