A trio of House GOP chairs fired off a subpoena to Attorney General Merrick Garland Tuesday requesting documents related to special counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents.

The subpoena follows a Feb. 12 request from the top Republicans that Garland turn over transcripts and recordings of the interview Biden sat for with the special counsel’s office. The GOP lawmakers said the Justice Department did not produce any of the requested material by the due date because it was reviewing documents for classification and confidentiality, prompting the subpoena.

The group is asking Garland for transcripts, notes, videos and audio files related to Hur’s investigation. “Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents made two things clear: there’s a double standard of justice in this country and Joe Biden isn’t fit for office,” House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said in a statement. “The transcripts and materials from his investigation are critical to our oversight work.”

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) and House Ways and Means Committee Chair Jason Smith (R-Mo.) joined Jordan in issuing the subpoena.

When the government starts to shut down in less than 4 days, the Executive Branch will be dead in the water to respond as the GOP flies off the cliff.

6. So might I also.

11. Me too

Bring brass knuckles

[Raven123]

5. Sure. Give them everything they ask for

Just go through it all with a fine toothed comb to make sure everything is accurate, complete and. nothing discussed might represent a security risk. Might take 10-12 months to work through all that, so there will be a bit of a delay

7. They see a treasure trove of material to use

in the election.

[MadameButterfly]

8. Might Jordan be required to answer his subpoena re: Jan. 6 before issuing any to others?

By what rationale does he think anyone else should respond?

[bluestarone]

9. They just go from one hearing full of LIES, to

Another, and another, and another. Gonna be one of the longest years of my life!

[PortTack]

10. They want to turn the BS where this Ahole called President Biden, forgetful into their latest shit show

Drag it out …total politcal crap that the maga engage in

[PlutosHeart]

12. Massive abuse of power

from these people.
Investigations should proceed with full force on them. Imagine there is plenty of proof.

[intheflow]

13. Throwing ALL the shit on the wall to see what sticks.

Meanwhile, why should the DOJ even respond to this request from someone who ignores Congressional subpoenas? Sadly, this probably will just turn into another instance of Garland rolling over for the repugs to scratch his belly as he gives them what they want. 🫤

14. Once again they will be humiliated

Those records will prove an inadvertent oversight on Biden's part and immediate action once it was discovered.

What about the classified material Pence had? Hm?

[SergeStorms]

15. Where were these assholes....

when they had two impeachments where there was actual evidence to impeach?

Completely ignoring it, and kissing the ass of the orange menace, that's where they were.

They were completely ceding all the power the GOP once had to Hair Furor, removing all doubt that the republican party was dead and impacted in the galactic-sized ass of Donald Trump.
