Garland: House committee's request for audio of Biden interview is not legitimate
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 тра 2024
- Attorney General Merrick Garland spoke to reporters about President Biden's decision to invoke executive privilege over an audio recording of his interview with special counsel Robert Hur. Garland said he would continue to work with Republican-led House committees for their requests, but their ask for the audio was not a legitimate one. He also said the committees' threat to hold him in contempt of Congress for not turning over the recording was an example of "unprecedented and unfounded attacks" on the Department of Justice.

Garland: House committee's request for audio of Biden interview is not legitimate
#Biden #MerrickGarland #Politics
The transcript has been released, the audio of the actual transcript needs to be released also. What is Garland afraid of?
Why? Can you not read?
@@user-uh6yr4te2i Oh we can read but it's only going to be what they transcribed. It's kind of like that old saying It doesn't matter who votes it matters who counts the votes.
Wake up
@@user-uh6yr4te2i transparency. Why else?
They want to critique Joe's voice. In the meantime ignore vonshizinpants speeches of nuttiness 😮😂🤣🤡🤡💩
Garland is afraid of the truth. The DOJ is just like the old communist KGB , but for democrats.
The distance between our 2 tier justice system just gets wider and wider.
Trump asked his Attorney General for all types of privileges. Stop acting lost
This is treason. Trump will lock them up.
@@rollsroycenetwork1221Why is your defense always "Trump"
It's literally about the same crime.
@@rollsroycenetwork1221So this is about Trump?
Treason to the core.
This is not subject to executive privilege since it was related to a crime that occurred outside of the President's term of office.
And since the alleged transcript is already been released!
Of course they attack the department of justice, fascists must control all authorities and feed the people with Propaganda lies. This is what Jefferson wanted concerning separation of church and state: Jefferson wrote,
Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties."[1]
We really dodged a bullet when Garland wasn't appointed to the SCOTUS. He would have made RBG look like Antonin Scalia.
Gorsuch authored Bostock v. Clayton County, a huge deficit.
At least he wouldn't take all those bribes. Clarence thomas😮😂
Not hardly, the guy we got instead lied under oath and is a traitor.

Garland is such an uninspiring person. But a weasel of a political hack.
Maybe you’d prefer Jeffrey Clark to alter evidence then?
I loved the line when he claims he's "defending the building."
The well of bull$hit is running as low as our Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Comer and Jordan had just about siphoned that down to it’s bottom.
Hmm, sounds like some sort of executive privelege?
What? Those words didn’t explain anything.
That's the Biden administration's entire strategy. They know they have to answer questions, but they don't want the American people knowing what they're actually doing, so they give non-answers. Watch KJP lie over and over in the White House press room.
Garland is a disgrace.
Your mother was a disgrace for not swallowing.

I thought the attorney general is answerable to Congress . You know ..The representatives that were elected by We The People ??
And they are also answerable for why they were at a criminal trial instead of at work the other day.
Does Congress get to intervene in Special Counsel investigations?
Speaker Johnson couldn't resist Trump's summons to New York any more than Charly McCarthy could resist going wherever Edgar Bergen wanted to take him.
There are three branches of the federal government, the executive, legislative, and judicial. The justice department is in the executive branch and a member of the presidents cabinet. Each branch has a check on the others but none is subservient to another.
Bread and circus, we are nothing more than tax slaves.

Nothing to fear, nothing to hide. Right fed boy?

So Congress has the right to intervene in investigations?
@@brandonsmith9098 the committee charged with oversight has the right of oversight?
@@kaosumaru Might want to look into what an Oversight committee actually does. They don't control or intervene in closed investigations.
Well, he sure didn't have to take the 5th over 500 times like Donald.
It's not a legitimate request because it doesn't have Donald Trump's name on it. Maybe in January this audio will get released.
Nope...Bleach Bit comes to mind.
Let's see, didn't Barr withhold stuff on the Russia investigation despite congress requesting it?
@@davidthompson1529 what did they charge Hillary for that and hammering Blackberries? Are you saying the District Attorneys charging Trump need psychiatric help? No DA in their right minds would bring charges just a $10, 000 fine. Two tier justice system?
@@davidthompson1529 Just like the Jan. 6 hearing transcripts.
One of the best things Republicans did is keep this man from SCOTUS..
Perhaps Garland wasn't SCOTUS material, but he should've been down-voted by the Senate instead of McConnell holding that vacancy for 8 MONTHS between Scalia's death and the 2016 election...then shoe-horning in Barrett MERE WEEKS between RBG's death and the 2020 election. There's a right way to do things and, apparently, the "Right" way.

Nice for Old Joe, Special Counsel declared him too elderly and senile to be charged with his crimes.

It was even nicer for Trump to be indicted and tried for his felonious crimes.
Gotta cover up for the big guy
