Merrick Garland just said the president can extend presidential privilege to keep individuals from being held in criminal contempt from Congress

They usually don’t need to. Most of the time they just selectively apply the laws already on the books.

Thier hypocrisy is enraging.

Garland gives Biden the permission to create Heaven and Earth.

What color is the sky in his world?

><

Whatever color he wants it to be.

To the Left, the truth is whatever they want it to be.

You are correct. Originally the power of the purse was thought to be an effective weapon against executive overreach. It actually had worked in the colonies where assemblies limited the powers of the colonial governors by simply not paying them. Now it’s a minor obstacle any Dem POTUS can get around.

Liberty shtunk! Freisprechen shtunk! Congressional oversight shtunk!

While congress is busy going after Garland they can also go after Biden for obstruction of Justice. Time to take the gloves off.

I thought the same Department of Justice indicted Donald Trump because the President does NOT have special classified document privileges?

[Jumper]

He will be remembered as the rejected SCOTUS SCROUTUM.

Time to update the resume, Merrick.

Sooooo...”He is above the law”.

There goes that stupid catchphrase.

>>>Gaza’s not our problem. Drop Garland into Chicago.

It’s the weekend, Drop Garland into Chicago.

“Inherent contempt” is harder to ignore than a referral, which I predict Garland would reject with the excuse “prosecutorial discretion.” You know, like Comey could have said when he was pretending to be AG.

PING

Maybe Garland can stay at the Trump Tower in Chicago.
