Attorney General Merrick Garland defied a final warning Thursday to comply with a subpoena for the audio of President Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur.
If Garland did not comply with the subpoena, he would face contempt of Congress proceedings, House Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R-KY) and Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) wrote Garland on April 17. (Photo) Biden’s Justice Department replied Thursday to Comer and Jordan by refusing to hand over the audio, citing a lack of “legitimate congressional need” for it.
“If the Committees’ goal is to receive information from the Department in furtherance of your investigations, that goal has been more than met,”

He’s beneath contempt. Contempt doesn’t bother him. He swims in it. Soils himself in it. Picks his teeth in it.

Just like Hussein's AG, Eric "With" Holder, leftists are a law unto themselves.

Well there's a surprise. When our representatives don't bow down to the letter and spirit of the law and there is no real consequence there is a very real trickle down effect. The slide is clear down to the kids. This is like warning a student a dozen or two times and then, if that doesn't shake him up, well by golly give a dozen or two more warnings, and keep to that until the end of the day. What happened to Obama's AG? What will happen in this case. I pray and hope for a different result this time
Our country is spinning out of control just like the kids. But I wouldn't bet a dollar on it.

Garland and Wray defy subpoenas and requests. Hillary's email were subpoenaed but she destroyed them too. But boy if Trump did he would be in jail. TWO TIERED legal system. (Not justice system but LEGAL system).

Isn't the DOJ the one to decide if they will charge Garland with any actual crimes in this case after a referral from Congress? Garland will certainly not charge himself with contempt. The Congress can describe their need for the tapes to get the tone and tenor of Biden's responses. A transcript does not show the true nature of how Biden responded. Sure, a transcript shows his words, bit it does not show his stops, dead spaces, and stumbles. They may have even ignored incoherent mumbling. This is why they are important!

This will get as far as the Holder contempt citation did.

Yes they are above the law.

There is never a penalty for communists who break the law. They know it.
In the meantime I am still expected to respect and obey the law. I do not respect it and I obey it when it suits me. The laws written by congress are apparently optional nowadays.

Send the Capitol Police to arrest him. Send that captain that killed the Veteran, maybe Garland will frighten him into shooting when he comes to the door.

I'm pretty certain that Garland won't arrest and prosecute himself.

Garland knows that nothing will come of this.
What is he going to do, arrest himself?

Since the House of Reps is part of the Govt. Legislative Body, they have equal power to the Courts and the President. How about a novel approach. Find Gestapo Garland in Contempt and have the Capitol Police ARREST him after he lies under oath and throw him into the J6 Hell Hole Slammer until he gets his mind right.
What's he gonna do if he can't communicate with ANYONE???????
