What’s inside the tape must be really damning for the senile old man in the White House. Attorney General Merrick Garland just defied a congressional subpoena to release the two-day recordings of Special Counsel Robert Hur during his interview with Joe Biden related to his mishandling of confidential documents.
Garland even classified the tapes as “very highly” confidential and locked them away from lawmakers and media outlets suing for the most sought-after recordings in modern history.
Of course, the Department of Justice would protect bootlicker Garland, as they refuse to consider his defiance of the congressional subpoena a crime.
This is another classic example of Biden’s “selective” justice system.
Stupid Democrats claim it’s only the Republicans that are interested in the tapes, failing to do their research; even elite media outlets like AP, CNN, NBC, and the Washington Post are also suing for it.
With all these cover-ups, Speaker Mike Johnson moves that the House will go to court to force AG Garland to allow access to the audio interview he has been hiding from the public after the DOJ declined to prosecute the attorney general.
“It is sadly predictable that the Biden Administration’s Justice Department will not prosecute Garland for defying congressional subpoenas, even though the department aggressively prosecuted Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro for the same thing,” Johnson wrote in his statement.
“This is yet another example of the two-tiered system of justice brought to us by the Biden Administration.”
The lawsuit against Garland will focus on his refusal to provide the House lawmakers with a copy of the audio recordings, where Hur was compelled not to recommend criminal charges against the president as he believed the jury would see him as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
The DOJ argued in a letter to Johnson, “Consistent with this longstanding position and uniform practice, the Department has determined that the responses by Attorney General Garland to the subpoenas issued by the Committees did not constitute a crime, and accordingly, the Department will not bring the congressional contempt citation before a grand jury or take any other action to prosecute the Attorney General.”
Other lawmakers echoed Johnson and called for the immediate release of the tapes.
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-New York) remarked, “It’s time for Merrick Garland to stop stonewalling and release the Biden tapes.”
“Either the transcript doesn’t match the audio, or the audio is so bad, that he doesn’t want us to hear it,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) quipped.
Biden last month asserted executive privilege over the tapes.
