The Division of Justice has notified Speaker Mike Johnson that it received’t prosecute Lawyer Normal Merrick Garland for contempt of Congress as a result of Garland didn’t commit a criminal offense.
Assistant Lawyer Normal Carlos Uriarte, wrote to Johnson, “According to this longstanding place and uniform follow, the Division has decided that the responses by Lawyer Normal Garland to the subpoenas issued by the Committees didn’t represent a criminal offense, and accordingly the Division is not going to carry the congressional contempt quotation earlier than a grand jury or take every other motion to prosecute the Lawyer Normal.”
Home Republicans have discovered nothing from the bogus Mayorkas impeachment, as they tried tp get the Lawyer Normal prosecuted for non-criminal exercise as a result of they need the tapes of the interview that Particular Counsel Robert Hur did with President Biden.
Biden asserted govt privilege over the tapes, which signifies that even when Garland needed to launch them, he couldn’t.
The Division of Justice has already complied with the Home Republican subpoena by turning over full transcripts of the Biden/Hur interview.
The DOJ has expressed concern concerning the recording being requested for political causes. They fear that if launched, the recordings may very well be used for deep fakes and different functions that would endanger nationwide safety.
The Division of Justice noticed by the political motives of Home Republicans, and made it clear that AG Garland dedicated no crime, and is therefor not going to be prosecuted.
