The Biden Justice Department is taking some heat after praising the conviction of a 75-year-old pro-life activist for an alleged crime that took place three years ago but so far ignoring hundreds of violent anti-Israel rioters that pepper-sprayed police last week.
Last week U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves announced the conviction of Paula "Paulette" Harlow, 75, of Kingston, Massachusetts, for a "federal conspiracy against rights" and Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act violations for participating in a protest at an abortion clinic in 2020.
Graves said Harlow and a group of eight others "conspired to prevent fellow citizens from exercising their rights to receive and to provide reproductive health care," and he praised the conviction for a crime that could carry up to 11 years in prison and $250,000 in fines.
But some critics are crying foul, noting that Graves has yet to condemn or preview possible prosecution efforts for roughly 200 pro-Palestinian activists, some armed with pepper spray, who violently rioted at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and injured six Capitol Police officers on Nov. 15.
"President Biden and his administration have been merciless in their efforts to punish pro-life Americans," CatholicVote President Brian Burch told Fox. "He is doing lasting damage to the trust and integrity of a critical part of government."
"It is one thing to hold an alternative view on abortion. It is entirely different when the president of the United States turns our independent law enforcement agencies into a pro-abortion police force," he added.
John Shu, a constitutional law expert who served in both the George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush administrations, questioned why the Justice Department would not be "equally aggressive" in prosecuting the protesters who turned violent and trapped top congressional Democrats inside for a time.

GRAVES IS PURE EVIL!!
When is the DOJ gonna prosecute the PEDOPHILE in the White House who won’t keep his hands off little girls ?
Just so we all know, this is to permanently stamp out any Conservative gatherings under the fear of being imprisoned.
As they are doing to President Trump, the ‘powers that be’ are doing their best to make sure we know our place.
IIRC this is called "jury nullification" and I'm a huge supporter of it when a morally invalid law is at issue or when a morally invalid prosecutor is involved.
Remember all the terror attacks on no-kill crisis pregnancy centers?
Those facilities are also protected by the FACE Act, and there has been no significant investigation. In fact, the FBI is participating in a cover up, because there are way too many coordinated attacks for them not to have caught someone by now.
Don’t forget the riots of BLM which for the most part were not only allowed but encouraged.
Matthew Graves is a despicable person who goes after little old granny to make himself feel better, virtue signaling to the abortion crowd.
These prosecutions are backfiring, instead of quaking in fear, more God-fearing people are standing up to the murdering of babies in the womb.
Graves needs to be investigated and held accountable for his manipulating of the facts, illegally prosecuting innocent Patriots in all the J6 trials.
I hope as more people are able to view the J6 tapes the outrage will be so loud that Graves will hide under his bed in fear.
It’s time to turn the tables!

The DOJ, FBI, CIA, and Homeland are all just political wings of the DNC.
We no longer live in a Republic, and they want you to know that laws are to be enforced upon only political opponents.
DOJ is an oxymoron ,with this administration.

You are One Hundred Percent correct. Americans need to know that the government is the boss. It’s not the government of, for and by the people anymore. We got a new version of far-left “democrazy” now.
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves announced the conviction of Paula "Paulette" Harlow, 75, of Kingston, Massachusetts, for a "federal Union conspiracy against rights..."
Hear, hear!!
These creeps all need to be thrown into the DC gulag. Turn the tables, indeed.
Well, it is, at least "girls." I guess he's got that going for him.... :(
Have you seen Raskin on TV trying to say that the release of the J6 tapes threatens the security of the Congress by showing the layout of the Capitol?
Funny thing is you can go online and get that layout.
Of course, he thinks we all are as STUPID as the demonrats that elected him.
I think he is having sleepless nights waiting for the public to wake up to the lies of the J6 Unselect Committee and what we might do about it.
DOJ aka Department of Justice aka DOI aka Department of Injustice
Apparently, blm and antifa can shut down major thoroughfares by blocking those critical routes, thus preventing emergency situations like pregnancy/giv8ng birth from getting to a hospital in time,
But protestors can’t prevent or delay a non emergency pregnant woman from entering an abortion clinic to murder her offspring.
I do not believe our nation’s political problems can be resolved without armed resistance. I’d like to proven wrong, but I won’t hold my breath. The lawless left needs to be eradicated and its supporters disallowed from any future participation in the political process.
