The Whistle Blows

@Jon said in The Whistle Blows:
At some point Weiss needs to speak, either on his own or via subpoena.
So does Garland.Garland dismissed these questions as (ready?) "A threat to our democracy."
“I certainly understand that some have chosen to attack the integrity of the Justice Department, its components, and its employees by claiming that we do not treat like cases alike. This constitutes an attack on an institution that is essential to American democracy and essential to the safety of the American people,”
Yeah, questioning the government's actions is a threat to democracy. Funny how everything the Biden administration doesn't like is either MAGA extremists or a threat to democracy.

Well I’m talking about a very specific question. Does Weiss have the authority the DoJ claims he does?
I agree that what the republicans have been trying to do - subpoena evidence of ongoing investigations for the sole purpose of leaking bits of it out of context - is a threat to the rule of law and DoJ is right to resist it.

Turley: Who's lying?
“I’m not the deciding official.”
Those five words, allegedly from Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, shocked IRS and FBI investigators in a meeting on October 22, 2022. This is because, in refusing to appoint a special counsel, Attorney Garland Merrick Garland had repeatedly assured the public and Congress that Weiss had total authority over his investigation.
IRS supervisory agent Gary A. Shapley Jr. told Congress he was so dismayed by Weiss’s statement and other admissions that he memorialized them in a communication to other team members.
Shapley and another whistleblower detail what they describe as a pattern of interference with their investigation of Hunter Biden, including the denial of searches, lines of questioning, and even attempted indictments.
The only thing abundantly clear is that someone is lying. Either these whistleblowers are lying to Congress, or these Justice Department officials (including Garland) are lying.The rest of the column deals with what a
political hackdisappointment Garland has been. -
Garland is lying. It's not just this one thing, but it's a trail of questionable answers...Lawyer doublespeak admitting nothing, and saying he never heard of incidents, investigations and people that you know damn well an AG knows about through his briefings.

By the way, some talking head pointed out something interesting.
The whistleblower attested to these allegations under oath.
Garland said it at a press conference.

I might have heard the same talking head as you. They also pointed out that Garland never actually said no, he just deflected to a statement that the investigators had authority to make decisions.
