House GOP Grills AG Garland Fireworks exploded at a House Judiciary hearing this week as Congress continues to ramp up its probe into the Biden crime family and a rogue administrative state. Joe Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland received a grilling on Capitol Hill from several top Republican lawmakers, including Jim Jordan, Thomas Massie and Matt Gaetz, on issues ranging from the Hunter Biden case to the federal government's involvement in the Jan. 6 riot. Jordan went after Garland on his previous testimony that then-United States Attorney for Delaware David Weiss had complete authority to bring charges against Hunter Biden. "My point's real simple. My point's real simple, Mr. Garland. You said he had complete authority, but he had already been turned down," Jordan said. "He wanted to bring in action in the District of Columbia, and the U.S. attorney there said no you can't. And then you go tell the United States Senate under oath that he has complete authority," Jordan said. In a separate line of questioning, Garland dodged after Gaetz pressed him on $3 million worth of payments sent from a Chinese energy firm to Hunter's former business associate. At one point in the hearing, Massie suggested Garland may have perjured himself over his statements relating to Jan. 6 and whether he had any knowledge that federal agents were in the crowd that day. Garland refused to answer. “This is an answer that’s appropriate at a press conference. It’s not an answer that’s appropriate when we are asking questions … you cannot continue to give us these answers. Aren’t you in fact in contempt of Congress when you refuse to answer?” Massie pressed. Garland later replied, “I don’t know the answer to either of those questions. If there were any, I don’t know how many, or whether there are any.” “I think you may have just perjured yourself, that you don’t know that there were any?” Massie said. “You wanna say that again? That you don’t know if there were any?” |
