On Wednesday, the Republican-controlled House narrowly voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress. Merrick Garland refuses to respond to a congressional subpoena. He’s lawless and above the law. Ironically, he is the top law enforcer in the land.
Attorney General Merrick Garland believes he’s above the law and doesn’t have to comply with legally issued Congressional subpoenas.
Today, the House held Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.

The vote was 216-207, with one Republican, Rep. David Joyce of Ohio, joining all Democrats in voting no. Seven Democrats and one Republican did not vote.
At issue was Garland’s failure to hand over audio of special counsel Robert Hur’s interview with President Joe Biden about his handling of classified documents. Republicans had demanded the audio after Hur declined to prosecute Biden, in part because a jury might sympathize with him as an “elderly man with a poor memory.”
Democrats countered that the full transcript of the Biden interview had already been released to the public and warned that Republicans could manipulate the audio.
They already admitted to manipulating the transcript. They took out Biden’s “ums” and “uhs” and who knows what else.
Garland refused to respond to a subpoena because he said it was not legitimate. Garland committed the crime for which Steve Bannon is going to jail. However, Democrats are above the law.
Biden and his administration have asserted executive privilege in refusing to hand over the audio. NBC News reported that it all but eliminated the possibility that Garland would be prosecuted for ignoring the subpoenas.
That only applies to Democrat presidents. Trump was deprived of presidential privilege.
Since Garland is the one who responds to contempt charges, nothing will happen.
Democrats are above the law. They are a threat to democracy.

Following in Obama’s minions foot steps. After all to Marxists the law is for the peons. The apparatchiks are above the law.
What provision of the US Constitution gives the House authority to act as a court of law and investigate alleged crimes and subpoena witnesses? I am not taking up for the criminal AG – I think the House is beyond it’s legal charter.
The provision that grants the Congress the ability to fund any agency and enforce the laws of the USA.
Laws cannot grant what the Constitution does not grant. That amounts to “amending” the Constitution by law, which is not possible. Just as it’s not possible for a SCOTUS opinion to amend the Constitution. The House can investigate whether funds are being spent properly, but they have no basis for being a general court of inquiry.
What are you babbling about? Investigating whether funds are properly used are not inventing laws. Unforunately SCOTUS has been interpreting the law for centuries but the Left was fine with that till it started actually discovering that the laws enacted were violations of the constitution such as abortion, unilateral outlawing of capital punishment, various gun control measures, homosexual rights. When you say a general court of inquiry you are merely torturing words, which is an approved lefturd tactic. The investigation of criminal activity is the responsibility of the legislative branch and has been since the inception of the republic.
What are you a gender studies major? First you deny the right of enforcement and now investigation.
I said, investigating the proper/improper use of funds is proper – reading comprehension trouble?
Clearly you have tried to torture the truth and double down on lying. Read your lies and mendacity. You cannot defend your origin assertion because you have been shown to be lying.
Show me in the constitution where the House is authorized to act as a court of law to investigate crimes (not funding issues). You make assertions without substance.
Res ipsa loquitur. Go to Amazon and buy a brain idiot boy. You have all ready admitted the premise for an investigation; Additional reasons are redundant and trite at this point especially to a troll who is blind to the truth and enjoys torturing it.
Merrick Garland declares himself GOD.
Garland committed the crime for which Steve Bannon is going to jail.
And Peter Navarro is already serving prison time for. And they refused the subpoenas from the unconstitutional J6 Committee because Republicans were not allowed to choose which Republicans were members, they hid evidence, did not allow testimony from Trump’s supporters nor allowed to challenge testimony from people like Cassidy Hutchinson who lied about Trump assaulting a SS agent in the presidential limousine or Capital Hill PD officers which CCTV video shows them nowhere near where they claimed to be.
Biggs is the wisest congressman who would be the speaker in a decent party. He embarrassed the curmudgeon Garland.
The underlying situation is that congress created the DOJ, and has full oversight of it, not selective oversight. The DOJ is legally bound to cooperate with congress.
Betrayer Johnson fully funded the DOJ, including extra billions, with the full knowledge that the DOJ was defying congress.
Johnson is certainly filling the shoes of Boehner, Ryan and McCarthy and faithfully following their RINO footsteps.
He is the head of the Vichyites.
