I would imagine that the Speaker and several members of congress have Top Secret SCI clearances and the "Right to Know. This is a BS defense by Garland.
I like how this guy thinks.
People like him only appeared at the end of Trump’s Administration, after the likes of traitorous, spineless or stupid appointees like Jeff Sessions, Rex Tillerson, Elaine Chao, Nikki Hailey, etc.... I’d love to know the gritty details of that.
“The department has determined that the responses by Attorney General Garland to the subpoenas issued by the committees did not constitute a crime, and accordingly the department will not bring the congressional contempt citation before a grand jury or take any other action to prosecute the Attorney General.”
We have investigated ourselves and find our regal selves to be above reproach!
Kash Patel is very credentialed btw
He says ‘the house has authority…’
This is where congress leaves the conversation. They don’t want to know about this. They’ll use their authority to take down Republicans and certainly Trump. But that’s where they’re done.
No exaggeration
The dems go after anyone that makes noise against them. And they have a weapon government to .....
From wiki
“Patel graduated from the University of Richmond in 2002. He received a certificate in international law from University College London in 2004,and earned a Juris Doctor from Pace University School of Law in 2005.”
He’s right!
Godspeed, to this suggestion.
Why are republicans helping the dems instead of helping the people who voted them on their position?
How can anyone rationalize voting for a liberal, angry, nasty, deranged, dementia patient?
Kash Patel for Trump’s Attorney General!!!!!
“Having the legal authority is great, but expecting House Republicans to do anything requiring an ounce of courage is pure fantasy.”
**************
House Republicans = Useless
If only...
who ever is the better marksman wins.
2) Where would Garland be detained/incarcerated? Who would watch him and care for his needs?
in the gulag. no one, same as for the j6er’s.
It's a wonderful thought to see Garland led away in handcuffs, but even if GOP leadership had brass ones the size of basketballs, it still is an unrealistic expectation.
well then,lets just roll
over and pee on ourselves.
( i concede you are right on the last point )
But they won’t.
Why didn't they do this six months ago?
Oh right, because they're the Junior Partner in the Uniparty.
Now they say they'll finally get around to this now that Merrick Garland has declared himself to be above any contempt-of-Congress charge.
The recent U.S. House vote to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt and the subsequent "No, thank you" by the Department of Justice he heads in response has invited renewed scrutiny over the plight of similarly situated individuals -- in particular, former Trump advisers Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon.
Following the DOJ's declination of prosecution as to Garland, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced that they'd see the DOJ in court, noting:Navarro is currently sitting in prison, and Bannon is set to begin serving a four-month sentence on July 1, both for refusing to comply with congressional subpoenas and subsequently being held in contempt for it."It is sadly predictable that the Biden Administration's Justice Department will not prosecute Garland for defying congressional subpoenas even though the department aggressively prosecuted Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro for the same thing. This is yet another example of the two-tiered system of justice brought to us by the Biden Administration."
Now, GOP House members have taken further action in relation to the seeming double standard. As laid out by Representative Eric Burlison (R-MO) in this tweet thread, the House has introduced a measure aimed at rescinding the subpoenas directed to Navarro and Bannon, as well as Mark Meadows and Dan Scavino, and withdrawing the recommendations to hold them in contempt of Congress.
Don't get excited -- the "moderates" in the party, the not-so-secret allies of the Democrats, will never vote for this.
