Former Attorney General Eric Holder said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that former President Donald Trump was in “cognitive decline.” Holder said, “He has never been a master of the English language, but if you look back four years ago and eight years back, his sentences are shorter, they make less sense, his paragraphs are more garbled. He seems to be more out of touch with the questions asked of him and the way in which he formulates his responses just don’t seem to be cogent. He doesn’t have many policy positions that he would ever talk about. He just seems...

Embattled Steward Health Care chief Ralph de la Torre said Wednesday that he will not comply with a subpoena to testify at a Senate hearing next week on the collapse of his hospital system, setting up a showdown with lawmakers who are threatening to hold him in contempt.De la Torre did not rule out appearing before Congress eventually, but said through an attorney it would be “wholly inappropriate” to testify before his company emerges from the complex bankruptcy proceedings that have followed for-profit Steward’s spectacular downfall. And that process took a substantial step forward Wednesday, as a federal judge overseeing...

Rep. Andrew Clyde @Rep_Clyde BREAKING: The House Appropriations Committee ADOPTED my amendment to REDUCE AG Garland’s salary to $1 until he releases the Biden-Hur tapes. 11:38 AM · Jul 9, 2024

Just now, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna appeared in public to discuss the arrest of Barack Obama’s failed Supreme Court Justice nominee and America’s most crooked ever Attorney General. We are here today because of the double standard that exists within the justice system. As you know, on February 27, the Oversight Committee, as well as the House Judiciary, had sent a subpoena to Attorney General Garland, of which we received no response, and after referring him for criminal contempt within 48 hours or less, the Department of Justice refused to prosecute. Inherent contempt is clearly within our Article One authority,...

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...

OFFICIAL: The House has now held Merrick Garland in Contempt of Congress.Here are three minutes of Democrats, Never-Trump Republicans and the media assuring us that defying a congressional subpoena means that you belong in jail and that no one is above the law. pic.twitter.com/LUsFHtNHZW— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) June 12, 2024(Headline USA) In a surprise departure from his normal insistence that the Justice Department applies the law equally, without fear or favor and regardless of politics, Attorney General Merrick Garland has let himself off the hook for the very crime against which he previously prosecuted two top advisers to former President...

The following are paraphrases of Peter's quotes: "Lawfare is partisan politics by weaponized justice means." "We must face the reality that (Lefties/Democrats) want Trump to die cruelly in prison." "As proof, I stand before you as a former high-ranking official of the Trump administration just weeks away from a prison cell." "The parallels between my case and Trump's a striking." I was the first Presidential adviser convicted of contempt of Congress. Trump is the first former President ever... EVER... to be criminally indicted. I was put in leg irons by armed FBI agents who far more easily could have...

Hunter Biden, a man whose entire life is a carnival sideshow, has just refused an invitation from House Republicans to appear at a hearing next week, dismissing the whole thing as a “carnival sideshow.” Yeah, you see, Hunter, he’s a serious guy. A man who takes hundreds of naked selfies in the company of cocaine and hookers is much too austere and dignified to be subjected to the indignity of a hearing in the House of Representatives. The New York Post reported on Wednesday that The Big Guy’s bag man “rejected an invitation from House Republicans to appear for a...

WASHINGTON — The Georgia district attorney accused of having an affair with an attorney she hired to prosecute former President Donald Trump responded to Congress on behalf of her alleged lover Friday — saying “confidentiality interests” mean she can’t hand over any documents related to the case. Fulton County DA Fani Willis, who is facing calls even from allies to step off the Trump case due to the allegations of improper self-dealing, fired off the defiant response after House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) reached out to her alleged paramour Nathan Wade. “Dear Mr. Jordan: I am writing to...

Federal prosecutors are recommending Peter Navarro, a former White House economic adviser to former President Donald Trump, be sentenced to six months in prison after being convicted on two counts of contempt of Congress. Navarro was convicted in September when a Washington, DC, jury determined he “willfully failed to comply with the House January 6 Committee’s subpoena when he refused to testify before the committee and produce documents,” as Breitbart News noted at the time.

Hunter Biden storms out of the House Oversight Committee hearing

Below is my column in The Hill on the bizarre scene last week in front of the Capitol when Rep. Eric Swalwell drove up with Hunter Biden and facilitated a flagrant act of contempt of Congress, a federal crime. Swalwell used his office and presumably his staff to assist in the defiance of a valid subpoena for Hunter to appear before a House committee. The House will now presumably hold Hunter in contempt and refer the matter for prosecution. The question is what to do with Eric Swalwell. Here is the column: This week, millions of people were glued to...

Hunter Biden on Wednesday arrived in DC and gave a press conference on Capitol Hill where he revealed he will only answer questions under his own rules despite a congressional subpoena. Congressional Republicans subpoenaed Hunter Biden for a closed-door deposition related to his influence-peddling and family corruption. Hunter Biden on Wednesday said he will only testify “at a public hearing.” “My father was not financially involved in my business,” Hunter Biden said in the presser. Hunter tacitly admitted that his father Joe Biden was involved in his overseas businesses in other ways. House Oversight Chairman James Comer on Wednesday announced...

House Republicans seek records to determine if Biden family used Joe Biden's political career to 'sell access around the world' The Wednesday deadline has passed for Hunter Biden, James Biden and business partner Eric Schwerin to hand over documents to the House Oversight Committee related to their foreign business dealings, which means House Republicans could resort to subpoena to obtain the information they seek. A spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee told Fox News Digital Thursday that they had "received correspondence" from Hunter and James Biden's attorneys, but the committee still appears to be in discussions with them over the...

WASHINGTON — House Republicans late Wednesday submitted their first request to President Joe Biden's family members, asking them to provide a range of documents related to foreign business dealings, and were immediately rebuffed by Hunter Biden's attorney. The request and rejection came in the form of competing letters that laid the groundwork for what is expected to be a drawn-out battle that raises questions about how far congressional oversight can reach into the activities of a president's family members. Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, sent letters to Hunter Biden as well as the president's brother,...

Sen. Josh Hawley and a law professor from Berkeley engaged in a heated back-and-forth about who can get pregnant at a Senate hearing on abortion Tuesday, with the teacher accusing the Republican of pursuing a “transphobic” line of questioning. The Missouri Republican was questioning Khiara Bridges at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about the abortion restriction case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that led the Supreme Court to strike down Roe v. Wade last month. ​ The testy exchange began when Hawley said he wanted to “clear one thing up” and ​asked Bridges ​if she meant women when she...

Jack Posobiec 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec BREAKING: The Biden DOJ has indicted Trump economic adviser Peter Navarro 11:02 AM · Jun 3, 2022

On Sunday, former Obama administration Attorney General Eric Holder called for former President Donald Trump to “be held accountable” for the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol. CBS “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan asked Holder if he thought current Attorney General Merrick Garland was being aggressive enough in prosecuting riot participants and Trump.

Steve Bannon—the right-wing media personality turned adviser to Donald Trump turned right-wing media personality again—became the first person in nearly 40 years to be indicted on a charge of criminal contempt of Congress last month after he refused to cooperate with the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection. Now, Bannon appears to be using his criminal case to go after the committee that went after him. Bannon is attempting to force investigators to potentially expose who they’ve talked to and what they’ve said, peek into secret communications on the committee, and create a playbook for other resistant witnesses, according...
