Well, this is a mess…
The Hunter Biden bombshells are coming in hot —now Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy is discussing a possible impeachment inquiry for Attorney General Merrick Garland who, according to whistleblower testimony, interfered with the Biden probe and lied under oath.
“We need to get to the facts, and that includes reconciling these clear disparities. U.S. Attorney David Weiss must provide answers to the House Judiciary Committee,” McCarthy tweeted.
“If the whistleblowers’ allegations are true, this will be a significant part of a larger impeachment inquiry into Merrick Garland’s weaponization of the DOJ,” he continued.
One of the whistleblowers McCarthy is referring to is Gary Shapley.
From The New York Post:
That testimony alleged that Delaware US Attorney David Weiss, who spearheaded the federal probe of the first son, wanted to bring federal charges against the younger Biden in the Central District of California and in Washington, DC last year.
However, he was allegedly denied by President Biden-appointed US attorneys Martin Estrada and Matthew Graves.
Shapley’s legal team summarized his testimony in a statement Friday, which McCarthy quoted on Twitter along with his impeachment threat.
“In an October 7, 2022, meeting at the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s Office, U.S. Attorney David Weiss told six witnesses he did not have authority to charge in other districts and had thus requested special counsel status,” the statement said.
Six witnesses.
But this contradicts sworn testimony given by Garland last year: “He is the supervisor of this investigation,” Garland said of Weiss, adding that “we put the investigation in the hands of a Trump appointee from the previous administration, who is the US attorney for the district of Delaware, and … you have me as the attorney general, who is committed to the independence of the Justice Department from any influence from the White House in criminal matters.”
“[Weiss] surprised us by telling us on the charges, ‘I’m not the deciding official on whether charges are filed,’” Shapley recounted in his testimony last month.
Garland could be in some serious trouble here.
