Garland set to face House Judiciary amid myriad investigations
by Rebecca Beitsch - 09/20/23 5:00 AM ET

Attorney General Merrick Garland is set to appear before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, as lawmakers gear up to touch on a number of matters House Republicans are probing as part of their impeachment inquiry.

Garland’s appearance, his first before the panel since the GOP took control of the House in January, comes as the Judiciary has become part of a trio of committees leading investigations into the president and his son.

Garland is likely to face numerous questions about the sprawling probe as well as other developments the GOP sees as part of the “weaponization” of the Justice Department.

An excerpt of Garland’s opening remarks shows he plans to push back on claims from some corners of Congress that his office makes any decisions based on political motivations.

“Our job is not to do what is politically convenient. Our job is not to take orders from the President, from Congress, or from anyone else, about who or what to criminally investigate,” he said in the prepared remarks.

“As the President himself has said, and I reaffirm here today: I am not the President’s lawyer. I will also add that I am not Congress’s prosecutor.”

Garland was perfect for the job as a dim henchman as AG.

After being stiffed for a SCOTUS seat? He's been on a vendetta since Day 1.

So we should expect to see an early morning SWAT raid at his house with CNN in tow, right

We have seen this show before:

1) AG lies to Congress.

2) Congress finds him in Contempt.

3) Criminal referral is sent to AG to prosecute.

4) AG refuses to charge himself.

Straight out of the Eric Holder Handbook.

He’s actually not a Trump appointee. For the job yes, but @USAttyWeiss
has been in functional control of the office (number 1 or 2) for over 10 years.

Someone on the panel should point out that Weiss was the pick of the 2 Delaware Senators… BOTH DEMOCRATS… And that as the Delaware Senators Pick President Trump had no other recourse but to appoint Weiss…

My takeaway from Garland’s testimony thus far:

One impeachment inquiry is not enough.

Merrick Garland: IRS Whistleblower Allegations Are ‘Opinion,’ Not Fact

Merrick Garland claimed that allegations leveled by IRS whistleblowers against the DOJ’s Hunter Biden investigation are “opinion,” not fact.

Merrick Garland is a corrupt liar who should be held in contempt, impeached, and removed from office. He’s little more than a mob lawyer for the Biden crime family, and he’s using DOJ to wage a war against the American people on behalf of the mob boss who pulls his strings.

Garland just admitted to Chairman Jordan that he never considered anyone else for the Special Counsel position. He said it would be disruptive to appoint anyone else. Yet, a bit of disruption is precisely what many were hoping for in light of the whistleblowers and botched plea deal...
