Short and sweet. No Virginia there is no difference between Bannon, Navarro, or Garland ignoring Subpoenas.

Garlands weaponization.

Short and sweet. No Virginia there is no difference between Bannon, Navarro, or Garland ignoring Subpoenas.

So, three men are found in contempt of Congress. All three ignored a Subpoena. But only Bannon and Navarro were arrested. All three claimed executive privilege. Again, Bannon and Navarro were denied.

we might see a more precise demarcation line drawn around the nebulous concept of executive privilege and absolute immunity. Specific requirements could be held up for executive privilege assertions – proof of assertion by a present or former president, validation of the defendant’s advisory role at the relevant time, and the privilege claim made on a question-by-question basis before Congress. Satisfying these requirements could become critical for criminal and civil enforcement efforts in future legislative-executive branch face-offs.

Biden’s team bracing for special counsel’s report on classified docs.

President Biden‘s team is concerned that special counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into Biden’s handling of classified documents will hurt his re-election campaign.

Why it matters: Biden aides don’t expect criminal charges in the case, but they believe Hur’s report will include embarrassing details — possibly with photos — on how Biden stored documents.

  • In late 2022, Obama-era classified documents were discovered in Biden’s garage at his home in Delaware and in a private office he used.

Zoom in: Hur, a former U.S. attorney nominated by Trump in 2017 and a former clerk for conservative Chief Justice William Rehnquist, is required to write a report about the investigation.

Even if there are no criminal charges, Biden aides expect the report’s details to be politically damaging.

  • Biden has defended storing documents from his vice presidency in his garage, saying: “By the way, my Corvette is in a locked garage, so it’s not like they’re sitting out on the street.”

Zoom out: Garland’s appointment of Hur added to the tension between Biden’s team and Garland that’s been fueled by Garland’s appointment of the special counsel investigating Hunter Biden. Feelings that Garland was too slow to investigate Trump over Jan. 6, and other frustrations.

Some in Biden’s orbit have unflatteringly compared Garland to former FBI Director James Comey. Referring to his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email server.

  • Comey ultimately cleared Clinton of criminal wrongdoing. But damaged her election campaign against Trump in July 2016 by making a public statement that she had been “extremely careless” in her security protocols.

What they’re saying: The White House and a spokesperson for Biden attorney Bob Bauer declined to comment.

Winning. Court to hear case on Special Prosecutor Smith.

Is he appointed legally? Winning. Court to hear case on Special Prosecutor Smith.

Winning. Court to hear case on Special Prosecutor Smith. We have this from Breitbart.

The court made the announcement after an explosive amicus brief filed by attorneys for former Attorney General Ed Meese arguing that Jack Smith’s appointment as special counsel by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland is unconstitutional and so the court must reject his prosecution against Trump.

Meese, joined by Steven Calabresi, the co-chairman of the Federalist Society, and Gary Lawson, a prominent constitutional law professor, argues essentially that Garland improperly appointed Smith to an office that does not exist with authority Garland does not possess.

If the court rules in favor for Meese and the others, it will go to the Supreme Court. If successful, the prosecution’s case is done.

How afraid is Biden of Trump? Ask the NY Times.

Times reporters Katie Benner, Katie Rogers, and Michael S. Schmidt published an article on April 2, 2022, about Biden’s frustration with Garland about the lack of prosecution against Trump, according to two people familiar with Biden’s comments.

“The attorney general’s deliberative approach has come to frustrate Democratic allies of the White House and, at times, President Biden himself,” the Times reported. “As recently as late last year, Mr. Biden confided to his inner circle that he believed former President Donald J. Trump was a threat to democracy and should be prosecuted, according to two people familiar with his comments.”

“And while the president has never communicated his frustrations directly to Mr. Garland, he has said privately that he wanted Mr. Garland to act less like a ponderous judge and more like a prosecutor who is willing to take decisive action over the events of Jan. 6,” the report added.

According to NYT (4/2/22), Biden told his inner circle that Trump should be prosecuted for Jan 6 and Merrick Garland should stop acting “like a ponderous judge” and take decisive action. Democrats across the country took their cues from the top. https://t.co/3odoGFHGYN” / X (twitter.com)

(1) Katie Scarlett on X: “@DavidSacks Who needs elections in Joe’s America? 👇 “We just have to demonstrate that he will not take power, if he does run, making sure under ‘legitimate’ efforts of the Constitution, does not become the next president again.” https://t.co/3pMtM6Wjrb” / X (twitter.com)

Why this man was passed up for a seat on the Supreme Court.

Republicans grilling the AG.-GP

Anyone watching this joke of an AG will know why this man was not voted on for a seat on the highest court in the land. And seeing the hate out there from the left for any white guy, his time has passed.

He refused to answer many of the questions put forward. Rep. Mike Johnson: “You know, we were surprised.  I think many people who watched this hearing today thought that he was one of the worst witnesses who has ever appeared before the committee…  I practiced law for 20 years and I would say he ranks up there with some of the worst.  He seemed unprepared.  He was evasive. He dodged question after question and he used simple talking points that apparently were prepared for him by someone else.  It was very unimpressive.  And the idea that he would be the top pick of the Democrats to be on the Supreme Court makes us all wonder what was going on there.
