Next Steps To Hold Garland Accountable After Contempt Resolution, DOJ Refusal To Prosecute

Republican Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna detailed Sunday on Fox News what the next steps will be to hold the corrupt Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress after the DOJ refused to prosecute Garland for the very same crime they sent Peter Vavarro to jail and are ready to jail Steve Bannon over. It was appointing, but it was not a surprise considering how crooked our government is. But Congress has the power to have Garland arrested and convicted for his crimes.

Luna appeared on “Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo” to discuss Congress’ recent resolution to hold Garland in contempt of Congress for withholding the audiotape of Biden’s interview with Special Counsel, Robert Hur. The House could vote to send the Sergeant at Arms to make the arrest. He could then be tried for Contempt of Congress. Chances are there would be a conviction.

Luna explained:

“Yeah, so actually several months ago I introduced a resolution for something called ‘inherent contempt of Congress’. This is something that Congress has the authority to do and it hasn’t been done since the early 1900s. Essentially what that does is — I anticipated that the Department of Justice would not do their job, so I had this teed up and ready to go. I brought this to Speaker Johnson’s attention and what that allows Congress to do is really be the punitive arm and really hold Garland accountable by using the sergeant-at-arms to essentially go and get him as well as the tapes, bring them to the well of the House and really be a check and balance on the Department of Justice.”

“Again, this has been done since the early 1900s, but that vote will be coming to the floor and hopefully we will be able to bring some accountability. I know that if this goes to [the] courts as Johnson has stated that’s really going to get stuck there, it’s not going to do anything. The American people deserve more than strongly worded letters, I think we’re all frustrated and so again we’re hoping to bring that accountability.”

Bartiromo continued to press Luna on what Republicans intend to do about retrieving the Biden tapes and their plans to hold Garland responsible for his crimes. She asked Luna if she believed the tapes could have been tampered with.

Luna continued:

“I believe that it’s possible that it’s been doctored, but I also think it’s going to show the American people whether or not Biden is capable of making those decisions. Remember, we have a foreign-policy debacle right now. We have Russian warships off of our coast and if he is not able to stand fit as president — I don’t think that he’s going to be the nominee this November. I think that’s why Democrats are trying to protect him and the DOJ.”

Bartiromo then asked Luna if she believed that Biden would be the Democrat’s nominee.

Luna replied:

“Not if these tapes come out, no, Maria. I think that they have big problems and I think that his cognitive inability is the number one issue for them currently.”

From The Daily Caller

Congress approved Garland’s contempt resolution in a 216-207 vote Wednesday after he refused subpoenas issued by the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Oversight and Accountability for the audiotapes in February. While the White House has argued lawmakers don’t have a need for the tapes with the transcripts available, the DOJ additionally declined to press charges Friday.

Johnson has since stated in an online post that while the DOJ’s response was “sadly predictable,” he will be certifying the contempt reports and move to “enforce the subpoena of Attorney General Garland in federal court.”
