While she was recovering from the birth of her first child and unable to vote, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna learned of an obscure House procedure that could see Attorney General Merrick Garland arrested. Frustrated that the DOJ hasn't acted on the House holding Garland in criminal contempt earlier this month, she will force a vote on an 'inherent contempt resolution' this week. The criminal contempt resolution referred Garland to his own Justice Department for criminal charges after he refused to hand over the audio of Biden's special counsel interview. But the DOJ quickly announced it will not act on the...

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...

Attorney General Merrick Garland called attacks on the U.S. Department of Justice "dangerous for our democracy" on Tuesday as the GOP-led House prepares to hold him in contempt of Congress. "Continued unfounded attacks against the Justice Department's employees are dangerous for people's safety. They are dangerous for our democracy. This must stop," Garland wrote in a Washington Post op-ed. Garland has refused to turn over an audio recording of President Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur for the investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents. This prompted House Republicans to hold him in contempt.

About one-third of Democrats doubt Biden’s mental fitness, a Harvard/Harris survey recently found. Another poll revealed 82 percent of Americans harbor concerns about his physical and mental health. Only about one-quarter of voters say Biden is physically or mentally fit to serve a second term, Quinnipiac found. “I have watched him expertly guide meetings of staff and of cabinet members...

It’s unclear who the FBI and their handlers thought they were dealing with in regards to the Mar-a-Lago raid.Maybe after getting the election snatched from him, they thought President Trump would simply lay over for Biden and his vultures to consume. Well, they’ve learned very quickly that the President is always ready to put up a championship caliber fight at any moment.Within weeks, of the DOJ and FBI raid, the President’s team was able to halt the government’s witch-hunt well into December.A federal judge agreed to appoint a special master to review records seized by the FBI during its search...

by Brian Hayes | BorderPACYou may recall our report nearly 3 years ago about an arrogant liberal Massachusetts judge who was indicted on charges that she helped an illegal alien — who had been twice-deported — sneak out a back door of the courthouse to evade a waiting immigration enforcement agent.Hard to imagine a more egregious violation of the rule of law from a sitting judge than that. She left her indictment in tears, devastated -- as she should have been -- that she was going to be held accountable for her betrayal of her oath:Or so we thought.Joseph was...

"Even as Attorney General Merrick Garland desperately tries to pull ‘the bus’ down on top of himself and take all of the blame, both the FBI Director (Christopher Wray) and Usurper in Thief Joe Biden (‘the boss of both of them’) pretend to not know how it all happened despite having to be in the loop as they are the only three who could possibly order a RAID of a former President of the United States. But new documents show that they had to..."

The Justice Department is again asking the Democrat-led committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot to turn over interview transcripts, saying the delay "complicates" the agency's own probe. “The Select Committee’s failure to grant the Department access to these transcripts complicates the Department’s ability to investigate and prosecute those who engaged in criminal conduct in relation to the January 6 attack on the Capitol,” reads the June 15 letter, according to Politico. The letter also states having the transcript is “critical” for federal investigators to "know the identity of all witnesses who have information relevant to the Department’s ongoing criminal...

Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Thursday the launch of a new Justice Department office to advance President Biden’s environmental justice agenda. The new Office of Environmental Justice (OEJ) will oversee climate and pollution laws. The office will also oversee compensation for victims hurt by violations of federal environmental laws, payouts that were eliminated during the Trump administration. “For far too long, these communities have faced barriers to accessing the justice they deserve,” Mr. Garland said. “In our environmental efforts, we will prioritize the cases that will have the greatest impact on the communities most overburdened by environmental harm.” The actions...
