“This is the Definition of Corruption” — AG Merrick Garland is Now Calling GOP Lawmakers, Coercing Them Not to Vote for ‘Inherent Contempt’
Gateway Pundit ^

Posted on 06/21/2024 6:00:02 PM PDT by Tench_Coxe

GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said last week that she will bring force an inherent contempt vote to the House floor after the DOJ declined to prosecute US Attorney General Merrick Garland.

(snip)

Rep. Luna wrote:

“It’s being reported Garland is CALLING moderate Republicans asking them to vote against holding him in inherent contempt. Garland, you can make this all go away by handing over the tapes. You’re willfully ignoring congressional issued subpoenas…
Garland is now calling Republican members of congress pressuring them to NOT vote for inherent contempt. This is the definition of corruption. He thinks he is above the law and can tell members of congress what to do.
Why is Garland fighting so hard to hide the tapes? What is on the tapes that is causing him to behave in criminal fashion in an effort to protect Biden? Any other American would be in jail for doing what he is doing.
Garland, release the tapes to Congress and allow us to listen to them.
Garland, why don’t you give me call as well. You should have my cell phone number. I’d like to hear your pitch on why you think you should not be held accountable?”

It’s “the rule of law” when Democrats do it.

It’s “inherent corruption” when Republicans do it.

No one is above the law, spewed tirelessly by the left.

“Garland is probably hintung to those members what is in their file. One would think this would po a congressperson.”

Doubtful Garland mentions their files specifically in the call. They are all fully aware of the immoral and illegal actions which made them vulnerable. Garland is more likely simply deriving pleasure know a chill is going down their spines when he simply says “Hello”.

A Washington lobbyist once told me any Congressman or Senator who runs for a second term is either independently wealthy or fully compromised. The few honest and decent people elected to Congress are completely disgusted by the corruption and voluntarily leave by the of their first term in order to save their souls.

Biden, “the actor” has his instructions for the debate. Which “Biden” will show up?

If Garland is threatening anyone over the phone, which can be tape recorded, then that would be stupid beyond belief.
