Anna Paulina Luna: During my time off for maternity, after I was told that I could not vote, I actually spent that time reading the House Rulebook Emmanuel. And there's something that hasn't been used since the early 1900s called Inherent Contempt of Congress. It's actually something that any one individual member reserves. (snip)I want to read this to you because ultimately, if in 10 days,...

luca Brasi was both protector and enforcer to Don Vito Corleone in the movie The Godfather. Today, Merrick Garland reprises that role for Joe Biden while Garland claims to be the god of all things legal and immune to the law itself. The House of Representatives had demanded the complete recordings of SCO Robert Hur's interview with Biden regarding Biden reckless handling of highly classified materials over the years. Hur recommended that while Biden was guilty that he face no criminal charges because he was a decrepit and forgetful old man. Biden, who had previously insisted that he had nothing...

House hearing on Garland devolves into chaos involving AOC, MTG & Crockett: ‘Are your feelings hurt? Aww’ Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) traded barbs with Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jasmine Crockett during a train wreck of a House Oversight Committee hearing Thursday night in which the lawmakers took turns body-shaming each other. The hearing on whether to move forward with a contempt resolution against Attorney General Merrick Garland spiraled out of control after Greene brought up the daughter of the Manhattan judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial and then commented on the physical appearances of...

The House Judiciary Committee passed a resolution on Thursday to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for failing to disclose audio recordings of President Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur. The full House must approve the resolution, which is largely symbolic, to officially hold Garland in contempt. Republicans maintain a narrow majority in the House to pass the resolution. Garland would follow Eric Holder, Obama’s attorney general, and Bill Bar, Trump’s attorney general, to be held in contempt if the House passes the resolution. Garland defied a final warning in April to comply with a...

House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) announced Monday that the Committee will hold a markup later this week to consider the a resolution recommending that Attorney General Merrick Garland be found in contempt of Congress. The announcement came after Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee released a report recommending that the House of Representatives cite AG Garland for Contempt of Congress for defying a lawful subpoena. “The House Committees on Oversight and Accountability and Judiciary issued subpoenas to Attorney General Garland on February 27, 2024 for records, including transcripts, notes, video, and audio files, related to...

Former President Donald Trump's unusual request to be given "liberty or death" after the latest gag order fine imposed on him by Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over the trial in New York City, is being taken under consideration. "Strictly speaking, it would not appear that a judge could normally decide whether to grant a plea of 'give me liberty or give me death,'" Merchan observed. "However, this is not a normal prosecution. Unprecedented actions have been taken to overrule the statute of limitations that normally would've prevented this trial from taking place. Charges that were previously dismissed by...

Republicans will move to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress, DailyMail.com confirmed, after the Department of Justice refused to hand over audio tapes of Joe Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur. The attorney general had until April 8 to hand over requested materials from Robert Hur's interviews with Biden that led him to conclude the president is 'elderly' and 'well-meaning' but has a 'poor memory.' They subpoenaed transcripts, notes, audio and video files largely related to Hur's interview. While the DOJ has handed over transcripts of Hur's interviews with Biden as well as the transcript and...

President Joe Biden, 81, “has no impairment,” Attorney General Merrick Garland claimed in the octogenarian’s defense on Tuesday. While testifying under oath before a House appropriations subcommittee, Garland said “the president has no impairment” because he “watched” Biden conduct meetings. About one-third of Democrats doubt Biden’s mental fitness, a Harvard/Harris survey recently found. Another poll revealed 82 percent of Americans harbor concerns about his physical and mental health. Only about one-quarter of voters say Biden is physically or mentally fit to serve a second term, Quinnipiac found. “I have watched him expertly guide meetings of staff and of cabinet members...

Chief Justice John Roberts and Attorney General Merrick Garland paid tribute to legal aid lawyers on Tuesday evening, insisting more work remains to achieve equal access to the legal system. Both men addressed a crowd of hundreds gathered in the nation’s capital to mark the 50th anniversary of the Legal Services Corporation (LSC), an independent nonprofit established and funded by Congress that provides civil legal assistance to low-income Americans.

It's hard to overstate how corrupt the Biden DOJ has become. You know about Jack Smith's manic pursuit of Donald Trump. That's the tip of the fraud spear. It's gotten so bad that even an Obama-appointed judge notices. There are cases that the DOJ is trying to accelerate, i.e. any cases against Republicans. There are cases that are being slow walked, i.e. cases against democrats. It's gotten so obvious that it's painful. We know for a fact that David Weiss intentionally slow walked the investigation into Hunter Biden so thoroughly that statutes of limitation for the worst of the Hunter...

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. decided to issue a statement on the January 6 prosecutions saying "there is little evidence of a true insurrection. The protesters carried no weapons, had no plans or ability to seize the reins of government, and Trump himself urged them to protest peacefully." "Like many reasonable Americans, I am concerned about the possibility that political objectives have motivated the vigor of the prosecution of the J6 defendants, their long sentences, and their harsh treatment. This demonstrates a disturbing pattern of the weaponization of government agencies — the DoJ, the IRS, the SEC, the...

Attorney General Merrick Garland is in trouble. Not just with Republicans, but with Biden. While Republicans are unhappy that AG Garland had been going after Trump and other conservatives, Biden and other Democrats are unhappy at his ineffectiveness. A Politico report from last month cited White House insiders claiming that if Biden wins, Garland won’t get a second term because he didn’t do enough to insulate the Biden family from investigations and that he didn’t move the Trump investigation along fast enough. Biden’s people wanted a Trump trial before the election and Garland failed to give them one. In response...

Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson claimed the Justice Department is using the U.S. Marshals Service and jails to encourage illegal immigrants and imprisoned felons to register to vote. Watson, a Republican, sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland last week, asking him to stop enforcing Biden Executive Order 14019, which was promoted as an attempt to combat racial discrimination and instructed government agencies to "consider ways to expand citizens' opportunities to register to vote and to obtain information about, and participate in, the electoral process." According to Watson's letter, the Department of Justice's efforts to comply with the...

A Republican secretary of state sent a letter this week to the Department of Justice (DOJ) alerting it to an executive order signed in 2021 that he says will allow felons and illegal aliens to register to vote in elections. In the letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Republican Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson wrote that a Biden-signed executive order has led to agencies under Mr. Garland’s charge “attempting to register people to vote, including potentially ineligible felons and to co-opt state and local officials into accomplishing this goal.” *** Mr. Watson took issue with one provision that directed...

Mississippi’s Secretary of State (Michael Watson) has sent a letter to President Biden’s Department of Justice asking it to stop enforcing a Biden executive order that he warns is being used to attempt to register ineligible convicts and illegal immigrants to vote. …

The pace of FBI arrests and the opening of new Jan. 6 criminal cases quickened so much in late 2023 and early 2024 that District of Columbia federal courts could bend under the weight. In the past two months, 93 people have been arrested and charged, according to Department of Justice (DOJ) reports. At the current rate, some 445 new cases could hit the docket in 2024—more than in 2022 and 2023, according to one estimate. In total, up to March 6, at least 1,358 people have been arrested by the FBI and criminally charged by the Department of Justice...

I told you this was coming. You know how people keep telling you that it's ridiculous to assert illegal aliens will be voting this year? It's not and Merrick Garland is going to make it happen. Eight million illegal aliens are poised to vote come November and Garland will be making sure they do. He promised to fight voter integrity laws all across the country. Speaking at a Selma church service to mark the anniversary of the attack by Alabama law officers on civil rights demonstrators, Garland recounted the history of voting rights since the end of slavery – a...

Attorney General Merrick Garland appeared alongside Vice President Kamala Harris in Selma, Alabama on Sunday where he pledged to fight voter ID laws and other election integrity measures that he deemed "discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary." Their appearance marked the 59th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday attacks on civil rights marchers in Selma, Alabama.
