Attorney General Merrick Garland was held in contempt of Congress because he is “blatantly violating and willfully ignoring subpoenas” in the Biden documents case, especially by refusing to hand over the audio of Biden’s interview with Robert Hur. Garland is using federal agencies to block information from Congress in a legitimate investigation.

Garland declared he had the sole power to ignore congressional subpoenas based on whether he decided they were “legitimate.” He is a political appointment in the Executive branch, ignoring a second branch of government. If Congress can’t get information from the alleged head of law enforcement, we are in deep trouble.
Garland’s Weasel Words
Merrick Garland said the Justice Department is a fundamental institution of our democracy [it’s a Constitutional Republic]. People depend on us to ensure our “investigations and our prosecutions are conducted according to the facts and the law and without political influence.”
“We have gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure that the committees get responses to their legitimate requests, but this is not one To the contrary, this is one that would harm our ability in the future to successfully pursue sensitive investigations.
“Now, there have been a series of unprecedented and frankly unfounded attacks on the Justice Department. This request, this effort to use contempt as an, as a method of obtaining our sensitive law enforcement files, is just the most recent. The effort to threaten to defund our investigations and the way in which there are contributions to an atmosphere that puts our agents and our prosecutors at risk – these are wrong.
“Look, the only thing I can do is continue to do the right thing. I will protect this building and its people.”
[The building and the people don’t need protection. He needs protection.]
Biased Reporter Asks a Question
The reporters are weasels, also. One prefaced her remarks with bias about how the DOJ is under attack. She asked how he manages their efforts to discredit the Justice Department.
“We have to go about our work following the federal principles of prosecution. We follow the facts and the law, and we screen out outside inappropriate influences. That’s what we’re doing here. We’re protecting our ability to continue to do high-profile and sensitive investigations, and we will continue to do that.”
Another reporter asked about the pace of the trials and how it seems Jack Smith’s cases aren’t moving along speedily. [The defendant is entitled to a speedy trial, not government weasels.]
“The special counsel brought both cases last year,” said Garland. “He appropriately requested speedy trials. The matter is now in the hands of the judiciary. And I’m not going to be able to comment any further.”
He is defying a subpoena, which is what sent Peter Navarro to prison. Garland needs to go to prison.
Whenever you think Mitch McConnell failed us, remember that he kept this weasel off the Supreme Court. https://t.co/TF5tgkiDb1

I was just thinking, can you imagine how much this administration must want to get James Woods kicked off X?
The Dems most recent appointment to SCOTUS is at least as bad. Zero sum gain on the Garland issue.
A couple of Trump’s appointments aren’t all that great either.
Don’t give McConnell much credit at all. He was 100% certain that Trump would NOT be elected President. His hold up of Garland was a ploy to look tough. The Democrats griped, but they played along. They were 100% sure that it would be Hillary nominating the next Justice.
Hope the hang the weasel!
We missed a bullet when congress refused to vote on Garland for the supreme court. He is a lying scum bag.
And traitor!
He’s just your typical liberal democrat.
Garland: “Our job is to make it easier for the Party (Nazi or Democrat, your choice) to hunt down and destroy any who stand in the way of its ultimate goal, the destruction of America and the installation of our lord and savior, Barak Hussein Obama, as rightful ruler.”
James Wood for SCOTUS!
I’d rather have him be Trump’s Press Secretary. Talk about entertainment!

DEMOCRACY IS MOB RULE
DONKEY ,RINOS THE MOB
Garland is so butt-hurt about not being on the Supreme Court that he is out to punish Republicans, MAGA, Conservatives, and even Independents.
I love James Woods. My son actually met him once playing poker.
Jim says it the way it is. The left is running around with their “cone-heads” on fire.
We want the VIDEO of Biden’s interview with Hur.
Garland needs to be arrested for sedition and when found guilty, exe uted
I was going to post but it appears that you have it covered.
100% of this perverted Occupation Government administration should be arrested and put on trial for sedition.
If The Uniparty ISN’T real, the Republicans would go after
the traitor Garland like wolverines, but what they do
is weasel words and sternly worded letters. They love
Garland as much as the dems because they HATE DJT.
And they hate DJT because they HATE We The People.
They prove that fact every day.
Procrastination & moderation are the Republicans strong suit.
His tribunal will be brief.. His method of execution, not so much.
So lock him up.
Remove him from power.
Cut off his pay/ funding.
Quit all f the incessant jawboning and find a way to put him in jail…THEN we can talk about what’s next.
Thank God and Mitch that the miscreant and unethical Merrick was not allowed on the SCOTUS. We have seen proof positive he is more corrupt and ethically challenged than was Al Capone or El Chapo.
Dear Mr. Garland, you can’t take it with you.
Back in 2001, George Bush just entered the White House and two large energy companies went bankrupt (one was Enron).
Suddenly, the Democrats wanted to know who was at several meetings with Chaney and numerous businessmen. The Democratic angle was that it was Chaney who had caused all of this to happen.
During the Trump Presidency, there were only innuendos and second hand hearsay that created a precedent: the release of a phone call between the President and the President of another foreign nation (Zelensky). Trump would be accused of treason and impeached over it.
Now before us is a recorded conversation between an investigator and President Biden. Unlike the two afore mentioned situations, there is little hearsay or second hand gossip. There is actual solid evidence behind this request.
Following in the footsteps of Eric Holder during the Obama Presidency, Merrick Garland is following the same playbook.
…and spineless RINOs lay on their backs with their legs spread and let him/ them get away with it again. Full of talk…no action.
actually they are bent over on their knees
Thus our frustration.
Payback is a b*tch.
Thankfully Sen. McConnell did not grant garland a supreme court hearing. Trump saved us from hillary.
That’s like thanking someone for swatting a fly after he released a gazillion killer bees. No! The only thing I will thank that traitorous $&#$& McConnell for is taking his last evil breath.
Treasonous subversive politicians and bureaucrats need to stretch rope.
No the people need it for being so soft and allowing it to happen. America thinks they are going to type their way out of this and it’s sickening. No real men anymore. We are doomed. Ruled by criminals, pedophiles, misfits, dikes, gays, transvestites and sodomites.
I will believe it when Garland is behind bars. Until then, anything said is simply empty blather, which is the specialty of the feckless Republicans.
Exactly. The Republicans investigate, investigate, investigate, investigate and come up with evidence of serious crimes crimes, crimes, crimes, crimes, crimes committed by politicians, politicians, politicians, ON BOTH SIDES. Then they brag, brag, brag, brag, brag but do exactly nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing but congratulate themselves for wasting taxpayers dollars and spewing hot air. Repeating is how it sounds in their echo chamber. But in the real world, it sounds to us like total BS.
It will remain this way until people like Garland are no longer in power.
Kind of hard to prosecute when the Justice Department is ran by Democratic shills.
Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress. What happened to him? NOTHING! And, unfortunately nothing will happen to Merrick Garland. It’s only Republicans and conservatives who are prosecuted for contempt of Congress even when their contempt is warranted as was the J6 committee.
well, any contempt hearing would be in DC, in front of a DC judge and a DC jury. Good luck with that.
These types love saying “No one is above the law” until it applies to them. Class A hypocrites.
They’re no worse than we cowards are, who let them get by with it. Our WWII ancestors would have been stacking bodies long before now. Everybody keeps waiting for Trump to fix everything, when 90% of the Republican Congress are closet Democrats. They will do whatever necessary to win…from assassinating Trump to winning the election by fraud again. Make no mistake…this election is going to be stolen. What are you going to do then…write your congressman? Post comments? Got a contingency plan? No…Conservatives NEVER DO!
Merrick Garland said,
our “investigations and our prosecutions are conducted according to the facts and the law and without political influence.”
That is HILLARIOUS !!!
Because it is the exact opposite of what they are doing !
Joe Biden was behind the Mar a lago raid and lied about it ; political influence
Fani Willis visited the White house and lied about it; political influence
there are dozens of examples of political influence,
Judge Engoron invented a very low value for Mar a lago based on nothing; that is not going according to facts and the law.
Bragg and Merchan have turned a misdemeanor into a felony just to persecute Trump; that is not going according to the law.
it goes on and on, they have done dozens of such things
they are NOT going according to facts
they are NOT going according to the law
they are NOT doing this without political influence
and they are lying about it all.
and they give a pass to democrats who have done worse things…
