Merrick Garland, Biden's Luca Brasi

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 to hide, decided he did have something to hide and asserted executive privilege to prevent the House from obtaining the records. In the meantime, Biden has stripped Trump of all privilege.

The House subpoenaed Garland for those records and Merrick Garland blew them off. In return, the House Judiciary Committee passed a resolution holding Garland in contempt of Congress. It is mostly symbolic as Garland holds himself above the law.

Charlie Kirk on X:

AG Merrick Garland says that the reason the DOJ shouldn't obey a subpoena from elected lawmakers is because the DOJ is "a fundamental institution of our democracy."
Garland also claims to be applying the law in a non-partisan manner. RNC Research:

"Without political influence." Uh huh.

Garland and his henchmen are anything but non-partisan. Let's have a look at some of those "apolitical" actions. Julie Kelly:

The DOJ budget should be cut by 25% to symbolize the percentage of DOJ efforts that are wasted on political goose chases.

Luca Brasi ended up sleeping with the fishes, I’m not advocating for Merrick Garland to end up that way.

Garland is still very bitter that he did not get that dream job, which may explain is rabid actions against conservatives.

Nonsense. Biden is a corrupt, controlled pedo and pervert, now with Alzheimers. The deep-state blackmail file on him fills and entire cabinet.

He’s a pure figurehead, as was Obama.

But if he did end up that way, I would not lose any sleep over it.

Luca Brasi is a fictional character in Mario Puzo’s 1969 novel The Godfather, as well as its 1972 film adaptation. In the film, he was portrayed by Lenny Montana, an ex-wrestler and former bodyguard and enforcer for the real Colombo crime family, a New York-based organized crime syndicate.

The filming of The Godfather faced strong opposition from the Italian-American Civil Rights League, with disputes headed by Joe Colombo and Frank Sinatra threatening its whole production. The producer, Al Ruddy, eventually made a deal with the league and Colombo to cut the word Mafia (which was only used once in the script) and the League backed the production of the film. This meant mobsters were present on the set of The Godfather. In 1971, when Montana was acting as a bodyguard for a senior Colombo family member, he met Francis Ford Coppola and Al Ruddy. After being introduced to the 6’6” 320-pound Montana, they quickly cast him in the role of Luca Brasi.

The Godfather and Luca Brasi would not be pleased with the comparisons.

Garland transitioned to Mary Garland, a vindictive 12-year old girl who’s weaponized her tantrum at not being on SCOTUS.

Mary will not rest until everyone who she blames for her non-coronation feels her pain or worse.

Anyone who ever sees Garland in person, rather than protest, should shake her hand, look into her cold, dark eyes (black eyes…like a dolls eyes), smile, and say “you STILL aren’t on the Supreme Court….HAHAHAHAHA!”
