Biden’s Department of Justice Says AG Merrick Garland Immune from Prosecution for Contempt of Congress
Breitbart ^

Posted on 06/13/2024 5:11:52 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

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.

Trump will not fall for the same trick he did last time by allowing some to stay. He’s going scorched earth on these bureaucrats.

Republicans aren’t as deft as democrats. If the sides were reversed, democrats would have always been calling the so-called transcript “the edited transcript” or “the doctored transcript.” Of course the eneMedia would have assisted them and repeatedly asked every Republican if they would support releasing the tapes.

Nazi and Commie DemonRATS are all above the law. The bass turds stay busy and out of the spotlight by going after Trump, his family and his friends and associates. The bass tud Garland is a crook. The Feddies’ number one target are Caucasian Americans. Every other azho gets a pass.

Trumps conviction opened the door for prosecuting former executive level officials. Biden, unfor, will pull a Reagan and not have any memory.

Great point. The House can hold the same standards that they used against Navarro and Bannon. Send the Sargeant at Arms, or go directly to the SC.

You get executive privilege when you or your handpicked tool investigate yourself. Great.

Yes, notice that “ executive privilege’ was denied to President Trump and his advisors Bannon and Navarro. So they are ordered to prison for “ contempt” of congress and refusing to testify against Trump.

If the democrats did not have double standards, they’d have no standards at all.

You know, everything a Lib does shows there’s two types of legal actions in this country. One, indictment and prison conservatives while Libs do any goddamn thing they want with no recourse!

Must SCOTUS be troubled with every little thing.
Let me see the tape.
No!
You gotta!
Do not! You’re not the boss of me!
Am so! I got oversight.
Do not!
SCOTUS: Kids, pipe down back there, or I’m going to issue a strongly-worded, well-reasoned opinion!

They argue that the President is not immune but his AG is. Ok...

No, the Senate won’t act. The answer is to zero out the budget.

Uh huh, “typical double standard” on the part of the current regime in Washington DC. Yep, I got it! Gawd this regime is so corrupt.

This is a job for the US Supreme Court. Unfortunately the feckless justices are asleep at the wheel.
