Staff Reports
The House Judiciary Committee recently voted to move forward with a contempt resolution against Attorney General Merrick Garland. He failed to comply with a subpoena to provide audio recordings of Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur. This is a troubling situation because Biden has claimed executive privilege over the audio, which raises questions about what they are trying to hide.
The House Oversight Committee also had its fair share of drama, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene clashing with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Jasmine Crockett. Greene raised concerns about potential bias in the Trump case due to Democrats employing the judge’s daughter’s firm. Instead of addressing the issue, Democrats resorted to personal attacks and outbursts.

It is disappointing to see elected officials resorting to insults and distractions instead of focusing on transparency and accountability. The behavior displayed by some members of the committee is unprofessional and unproductive. This type of behavior sets a poor example for the American people and undermines the integrity of the congressional committees.
The lack of cooperation from Attorney General Garland in providing the audio recordings only adds to the suspicion surrounding Biden’s health condition. Transparency is essential in a functioning democracy, and the attempts to block access to crucial information are concerning. Americans deserve to know the truth about their elected officials, and it is disappointing to see political games being played instead of addressing legitimate concerns.
In conclusion, the behavior exhibited by some members of the House committees is unacceptable. Personal attacks and deflections do not address the serious issue at hand. It is crucial for public officials to uphold the principles of transparency and accountability, regardless of political affiliations. The focus should be on serving the American people and upholding the rule of law, rather than engaging in partisan theatrics.
