Jim Jordan let Merrick Garland know this was his final warning before prison

Jim Jordan was about to blow his stack.

He is on the verge of blowing open a major Joe Biden scandal.

And Jim Jordan let Merrick Garland know this was his final warning before prison.

Jordan and James Comer warn Garland he has one more chance to comply with a Congressional subpoena

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) have had enough of Attorney General Merrick Garland stonewalling Congress.

Garland’s shredding the Constitution’s separation of powers and co-equal branches of government by refusing to comply with a lawfully issued subpoena demanding that he fork over the audio recording of President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur.

In a letter to Garland, Jordan and Comer warned that this was his final chance to comply before they staged a vote to hold him in contempt of Congress.

“On February 27, 2024, the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Oversight and Accountability issued subpoenas to you for a narrow and specific set of material in the Department of Justice’s possession relating to Special Counsel Robert K. Hur’s investigation of President Joe Biden’s ‘willful’ mishandling of classified documents. Your response to the subpoenas remains inadequate, suggesting that you are withholding records for partisan purposes and to avoid political embarrassment for President Biden,” Jordan and Comer wrote.

“If the Department continues to withhold materials responsive to the Committees’ subpoenas—namely, the audio recordings of Special Counsel Hur’s interviews with President Biden and Mr. Zwonitzer—we will have no choice but to invoke contempt of Congress proceedings. To avoid this, the Committees expect you to produce all responsive materials no later than 12:00 p.m. on April 25, 2024,” the two chairmen’s letter continued.

Why Garland is refusing to comply with Congress

Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report and testimony before Congress were damning.

He wrote in his report that he didn’t recommend indicting Biden on charges of wilfully retaining classified documents – even though there was plenty of evidence to do so including a tape of him admitting he kept classified documents in his home – because a jury would see him as a mentally enfeebled old man.

The written word and a narrated account by someone else are one thing.

An audio tape of Biden in his own words hits differently.

Audio would allow Americans to hear how frail Biden’s voice sounded and how confused he was when he couldn’t remember what year his son Beau passed away from brain cancer or when he served in office as former President Barack Obama’s Vice President.

The tape would also keep the questions about Biden’s age and cognitive decline front and center for voters.

When a Democrat President picks an Attorney General they select a loyalist who understands the rule of law comes second to the Left’s political needs.

That’s why former Attorney General Eric Holder described himself as Barack Obama’s wingman.

Republicans held Holder in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over documents relating to the Operation: Fast and Furious scandal.

He knew the Obama Department of Justice wouldn’t lift a finger to hold him accountable.

Attorney General Garland is counting on the same political considerations in this case.
