Perhaps the final insult galvanizing all this sentiment in a song was Merrick Garland’s devious Friday afternoon announcement — when, theoretically, no one was paying attention — that he appointed US Attorney David Weiss as Special Counsel in the Hunter Biden matter. This is the same David Weiss, you understand, who oversaw the Hunter Biden investigation for the past five years before ascertaining anything that might be chargeable from a vast inventory of financial crimes with an overlay of documented sex and drug transgressions. The same David Weiss who let the statute of limitations run out on many of those crimes while he dawdled and frittered in Wilmington. The same David Weiss who cooked up a wrist-slap plea agreement on all this, with a hidden Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free clause inserted slyly in the fine print of the so-called “diversion agreement” that would have immunized Hunter B against any further inquiries — which Judge Maryellen Noreika discovered only by chance at the last moment, scotching the deal. (And yet, the government now claims that the diversion agreement — and Hunter B’s immunity from further charges — “stands alone,” is “in effect” and “still binding.” Hmmmm….)

This sort of in-your-face audacity sums up Mr. Garland’s reckless, lawless run as a rogue attorney general. But then who do you appeal to for relief? Anybody wondering why there is actually no justice in America these days need seek no further. By the way, the appointment of Mr. Weiss was patently illegal. The Special Counsel statute states plainly that the post can only be occupied by someone not in the employ of the government. Does Mr. Garland not know how this works?

What the AG also flung in America’s face was the “ongoing investigation” dodge that supposedly would allow the DOJ to avoid answering any congressional inquiries into Hunter Biden’s tangled financial crimes, which, after all, were committed in the service of the Biden family global racketeering operation. Has a cover-up ever been more blatant? And so now the time has come to impeach Merrick Garland for breaking the special counsel law and obstruction of justice. It’s pretty cut and dried, and it should be the first order of business when Congress returns from its August recess making the rounds of the county fairs. The second order of business should be the impeachment of “Joe Biden,” if he hasn’t resigned before Labor Day.

A Christian family is begging the Biden administration to intervene in their upcoming deportation after living in the US for 15 years seeking asylum from persecution in Germany.

Uwe and Hannelore Romeike fled Germany in 2008 after being threatened with prosecution for homeschooling their five children.

Homeschooling in Germany is only allowed in very limited circumstances, and the family was facing a $9,000 fine, so they moved to East Tennessee and filed for asylum.

Authorities denied their claim in 2013, with the family attempting to appeal the decision after the Obama administration challenged the initial ruling that was approved. They do not have citizenship in the US.

They have been able to live in the US for the last ten years under an 'indefinite deferred action status', but were told earlier this month they must return to Germany.

Their bid comes as millions of asylum seekers are pouring into the US near the Texas border.

In their initial argument, the family claimed that 'God was calling them to homeschool their five children', claiming that the 'anti-Christian' message in German schools was also a factor.

The couple are now begging the Biden administration to intervene in the decision after they were told to obtain German passports on September 6.

Calls for AG Merrick Garland’s Removal Mount over Special Counsel’s Biden Report

Calls have begun to mount for the removal of Democrat President Joe Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland.

In a stunning turn of events, the U.S. Department of Justice has cast a shadow over Biden’s handling of classified documents, though stopping short of prosecution.

The special counsel’s report questions Biden’s mental fitness, igniting a firestorm of criticism and debate over the implications for his presidency and the DOJ’s impartiality.

The inquiry into President Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents commenced in January 2023, spearheaded by special counsel Robert Hur, appointed by AG Garland.

This investigation was prompted by the discovery of Obama-era classified documents at Biden’s Delaware home and the Penn Biden Center office in Washington D.C., unearthed between November 2022 and January 2023.

Upon concluding the investigation, Hur’s report, released on a Thursday, confirmed that Biden would not face prosecution. ...

This unfiltered disclosure has drawn sharp criticism from various quarters.

Laurence Tribe, a professor emeritus of constitutional law at Harvard University and Biden’s former professor took to X to express his disappointment.

Tribe accused Garland of bending “too far backward” to maintain an appearance of neutrality, particularly criticizing the unredacted comments on Biden’s mental fitness.

Adding to the chorus of disapproval, Sara Spector and Robert Shrum voiced their concerns over Garland’s handling of the report.

They have been able to live in the US for the last ten years under an 'indefinite deferred action status', but were told earlier this month they must return to Germany.

Biden tapes, if heard, might be TNT

There’s a reason the U.S. Attorney General won’t release 5 hours of audio tapes of Joe Biden. Presumably, the audio would reveal once and for all that our president has no brain.

The more I think about it, the decision of Attorney General Merrick Garland to not turn over audio tapes of President Biden’s five-hour interview with a special prosecutor is potentially explosive news.

Background:
Via a subpoena, two Congressional Committees have demanded that the Department of Justice turn over audio tapes of this interview.

The attorney general, along with “President Biden,” cited “executive privilege” in claiming they don’t have to comply with this Congressional oversight request. (The attorney general said redacted transcripts of this interview are all Congress needs).

Basically, the Department of Justice said it doesn’t have to do what Congress told them they have to do.

For now at least, the bottom-line is that nobody in Congress or - more importantly, no American citizens - can listen to this audio tape.

Here, the main issue does not involve details of Special Prosecutor Robert Hur’s investigation into whether Biden had illegal possession of government documents from his tenure as vice president and as a U.S. senator.

What Republicans in Congress are really trying to find out is whether compelling evidence exists that the president of the United States is suffering from dementia, and thus, is not fit to serve in this office. (The assumption, silly as it may be, is that a nation should not be “led” by a person with severely-impaired cognitive abilities).

Hur declined to file charges against President Biden, in part, because he said a jury would be unlikely to convict “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

It’s the Mother-of-All Cover-Ups
(Excluding Covid, Epstein, J-6, ‘Russia! Russia! Russia!’)

To me, this story suggests a massive crime and cover-up that involves two of the three branches of our federal government.

House Judiciary Committee Republicans voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress on Thursday.

The vote came after President Biden asserted executive privilege over the audio tapes of his interview with ex-special counsel Robert Hur in a move to shield Garland from criminal charges.

Republicans have seized in a line in Hur's report about the president's mishandling of classified documents stating Biden appeared to be an 'elderly man with a poor memory' and wanted audio evidence.

House Defeats Resolution Holding Garland In Contempt – Here are the Four GOPers Who Voted NO

As the Gateway Pundit previously reported, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fl) informed fellow lawmakers of her intention to introduce a resolution compelling the House sergeant at arms to detain Attorney General Merrick Garland and present him before the lower chamber.

Despite attempts by House Speaker Mike Johnson at trying to get her to delay her vote, she ultimately was able to hold it Thursday.

Now, Jake Sherman reports that the House has defeated the resolution with the help of four RINOS.

Here were the four Republicans who voted against holding Garland in contempt:

Rep. David Joyce (OH-14)

Rep. Michael Turner (OH-10)

Rep. Tom McClintock (CA-04)

Rep. John Duarte (CA-13)

The measure would have fined Attorney General Garland $10,000 per day for refusing to hand over the tapes of Special Counsel Hur’s Biden interview. Luna originally promised to direct the House sergeant-at-arms to take Garland into custody, but pivoted and delayed her move after discussing the measure with Speaker Johnson.
