Garland Testifies He Can’t ‘Recollect’ Contact With FBI HQ About Hunter Biden Probe | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Attorney General Merrick Garland said he cannot recall whether he spoke with anyone at the FBI's headquarters about the criminal investigation of Hunter Biden, the son of the president.

    Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) pressed Garland on that question during a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.

    "Have you had personal contact with anyone at FBI headquarters about the Hunter Biden investigation?" Johnson asked.

    "I don't recollect the answer to that question but the FBI works for the Justice Department - ," Garland said in reply.

    "I'm sorry," Johnson interjected. "You don't recollect whether you talked to anyone at FBI headquarters about an investigation into the president's son?"

    Garland responded, "I don't believe that I did."

    The exchange took place early in the hearing. The X account for the Judiciary GOP responded to the exchange with a post that asked, "What are they hiding?"

    Garland also insisted that he "kept" his promise to not interfere in the investigation and made clear that U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who is leading the Hunter Biden inquiry, had the authority to bring cases that he believed to be appropriate.

    But Garland refused to budge on the question of whether he had any contacts with Weiss.

    "Under oath ... your testimony is - you have not had any discussions with Mr. Weiss about this matter?" Johnson asked.

    "Under oath, my testimony today is that I promise the Senate I would not intrude in his investigation. I do not intend to discuss internal Justice Department deliberations, whether or not I had them," Garland said.

    After a plea deal fell apart, Garland granted Weiss special counsel status last month, giving the U.S. attorney broader authority to bring charges outside of his own district. Hunter Biden has since been charged on federal gun charges and his lawyer says he plans to plead not guilty. The first son may also soon face an indictment on tax evasion charges.


    Though whistleblowers have claimed that officials slow-walked the inquiry in a way that may have precluded more serious charges in the years-long probe, Garland testified on Wednesday that there was nothing "cumbersome" about the process Weiss had to go through.

    Garland also said he expects Weiss to deliver a report at the end of his investigation that will explain decisions when it comes to prosecutions.

In light of continued developments, primarily since 2008, there exists in these United States a Legal System which operates on a proved Two Tiered approach to justice rendered, which primarily benefits Democratic Elites and Woke Ideological Virtue Signalers, representing their co-dependent wards, to the expressed exclusion of normal hardworking American citizens: What is your suggestion in remedying this widespread injustice and, if not corrected, its existential outcome for our Constitutional Republic?

  Complete overhaul of the Department of Justice and their enforcers - the FBI - to reflect a far more honest justice system to keep patriots remaining calm.

  Disband the FBI, and request that congress investigate all unethical and non patriotic practices to partially right the wrongs of a distrusted and politically weaponized "Department of Justice."

  Continue with the current system since the two tiered justice system has been so remarkably beneficial to Democratic Socialist political hegemony; chronic distrust in institutions notwithstanding.

Now that the public is allowed to know the truth regarding the Hunter Biden Laptop Scandal, after more that 2 1/2 years of deception by the corrupt Corporate Media Kabal, propropagandidats all, and the discredited Deep State, we have NOW learned that the infamous laptop is far less about the Biden Boy's fetish for pornography, narcotics and Russian whores, and far more about Hunter's pivotal role in the Biden Crime Syndicate's selling of deep access to our foreign adversaries, and to what extent it has compromised our national security: What is your opinion about this possible coordinated Treason?

  It is imperative that we know the truth of what may be the greatest scandal in our Republic's history, and all aforementioned parties prosecuted for their crimes against the People.

  Currently, our Two Tiered Justice System is constructed to protect all Democratic Socialists, their corrupt "Journalist" spokes-sheople, and their Deep State enablers ... so why bother.

  It is Donald Trump's fault.

  How can we be assured that the "Laptop" is real? Would NOT our standard journalists have investigated this issue thoroughly nearly 3 years ago if it was real?
