President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice issued a memo Wednesday declaring that Attorney General Merrick Garland is protected from prosecution for contempt of Congress because of Biden’s use of executive privilege.
The memo’s release conveniently came hours before the House of Representatives took the long-anticipated step of voting to hold Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with Congressional subpoenas for records related to Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation of President Joe Biden’s willful mishandling of classified information.
Republicans wanted the audio tapes of Hur’s interview with Biden, insisting written transcripts provided by Garland were insufficient after Hur revealed that Biden experienced mental lapses and “poor memory” when interviewed.

So Merrick Garland says Merrick Garland is immune ... got it.
He's not going to win in November.
"NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!
Right, DemonRats?
Executive privilege was waived when they released the “transcript”.
Amen to that.
“NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW”...
Except that guy, that woman, that person of indeterminate WTF, etc...
/Democrats
Oh, so some people really are above the law.
Biden:” No one is above the law!”
The important development is that we have precedence now whereby a succeeding administration CAN revoke the declared executive privilege of a previous administration and charge officers criminally. This is why it is critically important for Trump to return and administer an extreme amount of retribution. There is so much that is deserved.
FBI is a part of DOJ. Sometimes FBI does good things, like nailing the 6 Tajikistan terrorists. Sometimes FBI does bad things.
It would be an interesting experiment for someone well-versed in this new-fangled AI stuff to recreate the audio files based on the written transcript and samples of Mr. Biden's own voice and patterns of speech. Modify it however desired to make the worst impression.
The White House may feel compelled to respond. They will, of course, (rightfully) claim that it's fake, but who's going to believe them unless they release the real files. Those, too, will be fabricated to avoid the very real impression of Biden that they are trying to avoid, but fewer and fewer voters are likely to buy into their explanation following the effort to avoid this revelation.
Oh well, something Alinsky-ish to consider, anyway:-)
You forget how evidence just disappears in the justice department one way or another.
Wow....and where can we "Republicans" get one of those shots.??
Obama did the exact same thing for Eric Holder if you recall.
Issue the arrest warrant already.

He doesn’t care a wit because he trusts that a Dem, Deep State Criminal president will pardon him before PDJT or Speaker Johnson can take over the presidency.
I do believe this can be fast-tracked. After all, it was for Nixon!!
Time for Garlandfinkle’s perp walk.
