Furious Biden wanted to FIRE Merrick Garland over Hunter's court cases, Bob Woodward's new book reveals
UK Daily Mail ^ | October 8 2024 | KATELYN CARALLE

Joe Biden regrets picking Attorney General Merrick Garland to lead his Justice Department after the agency prosecuted his son Hunter.

Publicly, Biden has remained hands off with his son's tax and gun legal troubles, but in private his anger towards his Attorney General has simmered, according to excerpts of journalist Bob Woodward's new book obtained by CNN.

'Should never have picked Garland,' Biden told an associate, Woodward writes. 'This is never going to f**king go away.'

I would agree wholeheartedly with Merrick Garland “going away” but not for the reason Joe Biden named. Hunter broke a few laws apparently & if so, he SHOULD be prosecuted. At the same time, for other reasons I think Garland needs to seek other work & preferably NOT gov’t. work. After this year, maybe he could leave With Joe Biden.

Bob Woodward is full of it.

Why would China Joe fire Merrick Garland, the architect of the January 6h provocations and “ pipe bombs “?

Garland knows where too many DNCCP skeletons are buried for Biden’s shadow handlers to fire him.

Sure he did… They would never lie to us. The story is designed to do nothing more than prove to us how independent Garland is. And therefore, his prosecutions of Trump are honest and not politically influenced.

Get it?

I dont think so. The public, generally negative, reaction to the prosecutions is already baked into the cake. Rather, this old hack needs to come up with some things that are at least arguably juicy, or no one will buy the book. Recalling that Biden’s baseline was “stupid” before he got dementia, I believe this anecdote as reflective of his infamous bad temper. Too stupid to realize that that shameless whore Garland is his best friend in the government

Bob Woodward is CIA. Yale English Lit degree. US Navy intel and comms assigned to USS Wright, the National Emergency Command Post Afloat. Hired a s a reported for the Washington Post, and with no reporter training or background at all gets assigned the most important story (Fed to him by senior FBI and CIA guys)

He is deep state intel community pond scum.

I don’t believe a story for a minute from Bob Woodward, describing how angry Biden was at Merrick Garland’s principled independence.

Fake fake fake. They probably met and discussed it as a way to make Hunter’s problem go away. He was only charged on some trivial gun charge, no sex trafficking, not dope, not international bribery, not rape of his niece, none of it.
Just a charge that he lied about being an addict on his 4473 gun form.

He will never see a day in jail. If he gets sentenced, he will be pardoned immediately.

Woodard is a flat out government shill liar.

pure propaganda meant as deflection for America’s KGB (the DOJ)

The DOJ has run Hunter Biden through a fake investigation and court process, purely for media consumption - because it became impossible to cover up everything for him and his corrupt father.

But NOTHING will come of it, and when Biden is gone in 3 months, Hunter Biden’s life will return to normal.

BS. Merrick has been Biden’s best hatchet man to destroy democrat party enemies. Hunter will plead guilty and get a pardon in seconds.

In his new book, Woodward says he consulted with former CIA Chief Bill Casey again.

I mean really, this part about Hunter is the spiciest part of the book? Sheesh. We all know if it were a Republican Woodward would have gone to a much greater effort to concoct a story to sell his book.

There should be no reason why the president can’t fire his AG if he wants to. The only thing preventing presidents from doing that is the potential for blackmail — Chuck Schumer’s “six ways til Sunday”.

The fact that non-elected, corrupt, untouchable government officials are running the show in DC should enrage every American.

'This is never going to f**king go away.'

"Go away" ? I thought the legal system is transparent and lady justice is blind.

Yeah, because Hunter should be above all laws in Joe’s book. Remember, “never F’ with a Biden.”

They dragged their feet so the damaging charges were all past the statute of limitations, that’s sweet if you can get that kind of treatment.

Oh...were the consequences for Hunter’s actions supposed to just “go away?”
