Who is lying? Merrick Garland or the whistleblowers?

“I’m not the deciding official.”

Those five words, allegedly from Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, shocked IRS and FBI investigators in a meeting on October 22, 2022. This is because, in refusing to appoint a special counsel, Attorney Garland Merrick Garland had repeatedly assured the public and Congress that Weiss had total authority over his investigation.

IRS supervisory agent Gary A. Shapley Jr. told Congress he was so dismayed by Weiss’s statement and other admissions that he memorialized them in a communication to other team members.

Shapley and another whistleblower detail what they describe as a pattern of interference with their investigation of Hunter Biden, including the denial of searches, lines of questioning, and even attempted indictments. 

The only thing abundantly clear is that someone is lying. Either these whistleblowers are lying to Congress, or these Justice Department officials (including Garland) are lying. 

The response from both Hunter Biden’s counsel and the attorney general himself only deepened the concerns.

Christopher Clark, an attorney for Hunter Biden, responded to a shocking Whatsapp message that the president’s son had allegedly sent to a Chinese official with foreign intelligence contacts who was funneling millions to him.

“I am sitting here with my father,” the younger Biden wrote, “and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am...”

Merrick Garland has never told the truth in his life, Even by accident.

Not that whistleblowers are actually protected by the full force of the whistleblower protection act, but any hope they have of relying on the Act would be void if they are deliberately lying about what they are contending.

Has NARA admitted that they dumped the documents in the WH parking lot? Did NARA put them there or did Trump’s people?

Looks like the documents were dumped in the White Hut driveway to me.

They want it both ways: They want to force Trump to take possession of classified documents, implicitly admitting he owns them, then they want to prosecute him for possessing the very documents they forced him to take possession of and implicitly admitted he owned.

Sometimes I don’t agree with Trump (like when he decided to bomb Syria) but one thing makes me think the govt. is lying about this is that they have been lying for 6 years trying to get Trump with no success.
