Merrick Garland Shouldn't Be Praised. He Should Be Impeached
BY DAVID HARSANYI
FRIDAY, JUNE 07 2024
Treating criticism of his corrupt tenure as an attack on the 'judicial process itself' has it backward.
The day Merrick Garland was set to appear before Congress, The Wall Street Journal ran a piece exploring the attorney general's "by-the-book, play-no-favorites approach." This rendering of Garland conflicts with reality.
Even now, Garland is refusing to hand over audio recordings of President Joe Biden's interviews with former special counsel Robert Hur over the president's hoarding of classified documents, despite a congressional subpoena.
As the Department of Justice stonewalls Congress, it is also prosecuting the Republican Party's presidential candidate for the very crimes the Hur tape supposedly "exonerates" Biden from.
Considering the Hur transcript has already been released – and we know that Biden lied about it – there is even less justification for withholding the audio. And considering the DOJ has apparently cleaned up all the "uhs" and "ohs" and garbled words in the transcript, the tape would likely further cement the president as an "elderly man with a poor memory."
