During his opening remarks before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Garland insisted that he has not improperly interfered in the probe into President Joe Biden's son Hunter. His voice broke and tears appeared in his eyes at one point as he was brought before the panel to testify against Republican accusations that his agency exhibits extreme political bias. Specifically, Republicans are peeved that Garland decided to pick David Weiss as the special counsel investigating Hunter Biden, 53. The hearing comes days after Weiss charged Hunter with three felony charges for lying on a federal form to purchase a firearm. But Biden's Justice Department head insisted: 'I'm gonna say again and say again if necessary – I did not interfere… I left it to Mr. Weiss to bring charges or not.' 'Americans believe, today in our country, there is unequal application of the law. They believe that because there is,' Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said in his opening statement. A few moments later, Garland pushed-back, saying: 'Our job is not to do what is politically convenient. Our job is not to take orders from the President, from Congress or from anyone else about who or what to criminally investigate.' 'I am not the President's lawyer,' Garland continued. 'I will add – I am not Congress's prosecutor. The Justice Department works for the American people.' Wednesday's hearing put on display the heightening of partisan brawling that will continue at the Capitol next Thursday with House Republicans' first impeachment hearing against President Biden and his family's business dealings. Judiciary Ranking Member Jerry Nadler said in his opening statement: 'Republicans will continue doing what they've done for years: Discrediting anyone who does not serve their political goals – at any cost.' Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) asked Garland if he has had 'any personal contact with anyone at FBI headquarters about the Hunter Biden investigation.' Garland said he couldn't 'recollect the answer.' 'I'm sorry,' Rep. Johnson cut-in, 'you don't recollect whether you talked with anybody at FBI headquarters about an investigation into the President's son?' The Attorney General responded by reiterating he vowed to allow Special Counsel Weiss to carry out his investigation without interference, but said: 'I don't believe that I did.' During his opening remarks, Garland got personal, nearly breaking down into tears when telling the story of his family fleeing Europe during the Holocaust and coming to the United States. 'My grandmother was one of five children born in what is now Belarus – made it to the United States as did two of her siblings, the other two did not. Those two were killed in the Holocaust. Without a doubt, but for America, the same thing would have happened to my grandmother,' he said. 'But this country took her in and under that protection, she was able to live without fear of persecution. That protection is what distinguishes this country from so many others. The protection of law, the rule of law, is the foundation of our system of government.' Garland added: 'Repaying this country for the debt my family owes for our lives, has been the focus of my entire professional career.' 'That is why I served in the Justice Department under five different attorneys general, under both Democratic and Republican administrations. That is why I spent more than 25 years ensuring the rule of law as a judge, and that is why I left a lifetime appointment as a judge and came back to the Justice Department two and a half years ago. And that is why I'm here today.' This anecdote was a way for Garland to share why it was so important to him to treat all people the same and apply Justice equally. 'Our job is to uphold the rule of law – that means we apply the same laws to everyone,' he insisted. The Attorney General insisted: 'There is not one set of laws for the powerful and another for the powerless, one for the rich and one for the poor, one for Democrats and another for Republicans.'

Everything everything everything -- we and everything we hold dear must DIE because of these crazies' persecution fantasies. It's certainly good he confesses his jewness. If they all would, totally different world situation.
'It's Like KGB!': Victoria Spartz Explodes At AG Merrick Garland Over His Handling Of Justice Dept I think she's a HoosierHick.
Wow, thanks! She is fantastic -- new to me -- despite referring to people "breaking into the Capitol". That's what good people usually do on the subject, make some extreme vocal gaffe. Most conservs just parrot the left's dialectic tricks, calling commies "progressives" and pro-aborts "pro-choice" etc. But this lady is embarrassing this arch-kike heroically!
