AG Merrick Garland Urges GOP Lawmakers, Including House RINOs, Not to Vote for Inherent Contempt, Raising Ethical Concerns

Jun 22, 2024, 08:53 PM

Attorney General Merrick Garland is reportedly contacting Republican members of Congress, urging them not to vote for inherent contempt. This action has raised serious ethical concerns about the separation of powers and the independence of Congress. Critics are labeling Garland's actions as the 'definition of corruption.' The situation is particularly contentious as Garland has been involved in prosecuting individuals like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro for not complying with subpoenas, while he himself is accused of ignoring subpoenas. Garland is also reportedly pressuring House RINOs in this effort.
