Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said the House Judiciary Committee plans to file a lawsuit to force Attorney General Merrick Garland to turn over audio recordings of President Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur.

The suit would be the latest effort to secure the tapes after the Justice Department informed Congress it would not be bringing criminal charges against Garland despite a House vote to hold him in contempt.

This is theater. Congress could have held Garland in civil contempt or directed the Sergeant at Arms to drag Garland to Congress and hold him accountable.

The Republicans have played run out the clock on everything.

They love Joe Biden.

Go back and look at Tim Scott’s response to the Stare of the Union, he said, Joe Biden is a good man, and not one Republican disagreed with him.

If it requires a letter to be ignored, they’re all up for it.

Johnson is a spineless puss. I am eagerly waiting for the “stern letter” followed up by abject surrender.

“It has not been used in nearly 100 years, and House rules offer little guidance for how detention of the attorney general would play out, particularly given Garland’s protective FBI detail.”

Obviously, like Trump, you have to authorize the use of Deadly force from the get go for AG Garland. Hope the politically based FBI makes it interesting. I guess will find out what the Gestapo, I mean FBI, will do.

Garland: “Oh, were we supposed to keep those? Gosh, I’m sorry, but the files were accidentally wiped. Like with a cloth.”
