Eric Burlison: Holding Merrick Garland in contempt


(From Seventh District Congressman Eric Burlison)

On Wednesday, the House voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.

In February, the Oversight Committee issued a subpoena for relevant information regarding Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into President Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified material after documents were discovered in Biden’s home and office in 2022. The information subpoenaed included the transcript and any recordings of Hur’s interview with Biden in October of 2023.






 

The Department of Justice (DOJ) did produce the written transcript of the interview but is refusing to hand over the audio recordings. Biden even asserted executive privilege over the recordings, which is bizarre given the transcripts have already been released.

These recordings are vital to our investigation. Our committee needs to be able to hear the verbal cues and subtleties in Biden’s answers to assess whether he was being coached or guarded. 








The White House also has a track record of editing Biden’s mistakes by labeling them “inaudible” in transcripts, only furthering our committee’s obligation to assess the transcripts for ourselves to ensure it reflects the true content of the interviews.

Attorney General Garland’s refusal to comply with our congressional subpoena is obstructing our investigation and is in violation of the law.

Comrade Burlison's latest rant will appeal to the local Talibubba and Y'all Queda types.

BIGLY!

One of, if not the most disgusting morally flawed act of capitulation ever witnessed occurred this week at the capital with the entire magat party demonstrating a level of total and complete character annihilation and childish fealty to bow before king magat himself. We must question the intellectual and moral competence of any group of people who surrender the right to themselves to serve an individual hellbent on destruction and self grandiosment. This is a cult of weak minded losers not seen since nazi Germany and the branch davidians.

Someone should let Burlison know that apparently some jerky has been writing a lot of epically stupid press releases which have been released under his name!

Foqr once I agree with Burlison. What is Biden and Garland tryinging to hide? Don't just play the tape for Congress, play it on national TV for all to see.

It's all in the report and testimony 721. The waxman and the rest of the cult are looking to make political "alternative facts" in an election year. Eric is nothing more than a "Moscow Margerie" wannabe. He even sucks at that.

I'm still waiting for Trump to release his tax returns like he said he would.

Maybe he will have to release them to his probation officer?

How else will the probation officer check to be sure he's not doing business with other
felons and unsavory people?

He will get a probation officer at some point since he was convicted on 43 felony counts.

With you liberals, hypocrisy is not a bug but a feature.

When Trump wins expect the same political policies to be used via lawfare against your side.

I anticipate a trump presidency will establish a robust enrollment in ANTIFA. True believers of democracy will hopefully rise up and resist everything about the magat autocratic administration as believers like myself and others WILL refuse to comply. 908, you have no idea of the liberal storm that's approaching if king magat wins.

@6:17 Why do you think that frightens anyone? The "masculine" specimens and the out of shape(being nice), blue haired females in ANTIFA(which btw, according to numerous D politicians, doesn't exist), do not exactly drive fear into anyone's heart. The worst they can do is burn down a CVS at 2am.

Nobody is afraid of Pantifa. I expect a run on purple hair dye though.

Republicans shouldn't do the crimes if they can't do the time.

955 and 802, spoken like true blights upon society. You both fear blue hair because your feeble minds can't fathom why anyone would not go orange.

Antifa will defeat Trump's Gravy Seals any day of the week.
