This DOJ proves every single day how they engage for the sake of Democrats who have people threatening their lives. They go to prison, but people who threaten Republicans go home. Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) says the Department of Justice declined to prosecute threats against his family, but the people who threaten the lives of Democrats go to prison for years. Banks questioned Attorney General Merrick Garland about the Angel when it comes to deal.
Banks wrote in a letter to the Justice Department chief that the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Indiana “ absolutely refused to prosecute a man who threatened to kill his wife and three daughters.
Banks wrote:
“When Capitol Police referred the criminal case against Aaron Thompson to the U.S. Attorney for Northern District of Indiana, they declined to prosecute despite clear evidence that Thompson violated federal law.”
Thompson said in one message, according to Banks’ letter:
“Three daughters. Hey, hey, hey, three bullets hey, hey, hey one wife yay. Oh yeah, yeah, we’ll give her two bullets.”

He was let off the hook whereas people who threatened Maxine Waters and Eric Swalwell were prosecuted and convicted. Both received prison sentences. This is just more proof of a 2 tiered justice system set up by Biden and Garland.
In an interview with U.S. Capitol Police, Thompson admitted to calling and threatening Banks over disagreements with his political views. Thompson said he was intoxicated during the calls.
The DOJ’s treatment of Banks’ case contrasts with how the department handled threats leveled against Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California, according to Banks, who asked Garland why the cases were treated differently. A man accused of threatening the California Democrat pleaded guilty in May after being charged by federal prosecutors in January.
In Swalwell’s case, an elderly Florida man left messages for the congressman, calling him a “moron” and accusing him of sleeping with a Chinese spy. The man also threatened Swalwell’s kids, saying, “I’m gonna kill your children.” The man said he was intoxicated at the time he left the messages for Swalwell.
In a case this week not featured in Banks’ letter, federal prosecutors secured a sentence of 33 months in prison and a $10,000 fine for a Texas man who was convicted of making threats against Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California announced the sentence against Brian Michael Gaherty of Houston on Monday.
Gaherty pleaded guilty to leaving four threatening messages for Waters in August and November 2022. In one of the messages, Gaherty threatened to “put a cap” in Waters’ head, “cut [her] throat,” and “stomp” her.
