Rep Thomas Massie turned Merrick Garland into a bowl of Jell-O after he hit him with the fact that he is letting Ray Epps off with a slap on the wrist while sending J6 political prisoners to prison for decades. He had him more off balance than Nancy Pelosi after the first bottle or two. How could he possibly justify charging Epps with one lonely misdemeanor after he spent two days inciting riots and attacking police with a large Trump sign?
From the House Judiciary Committee website:
The House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on Wednesday, September 20, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. ET. The hearing, “Oversight of the U.S. Department of Justice,” will examine how the Justice Department has become politicized and weaponized under the leadership of Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Massie had Garland two years ago reeling after he confronted him about the fact that whether there were federal Agents present on January 6, 2021 and whether they agitated to go into the Capitol. Garland cited an ongoing investigation at the time. He is a DC question dodger in every sense of the word. And I thought Eric Holder and Janet Reno were bad but Garland makes them look really good even though they were awful. Holder is best known for giving assault rifles to the Mexican cartels and Reno won her fame with her Waco, Texas BBQ.
When Garland tried to lie his way out of trouble today, Massie was there to smack him down:
The Kentucky congressman proceeded to hammer Garland for conveniently indicting Ray Epps on a measly misdemeanor charge yesterday for “disorderly conduct.” This was despite Epps being caught on tape attacking police officers and urging people to storm the Capitol on multiple occasions.

Massie: That was your answer two years ago when I asked how many agents and assets of the government were present on January 5 and January 6 and agitating in the crowd to go into the Capitol. Can you answer that now?
Garland: I don’t know the answer to that question.
Massie: You don’t know how many there were or there were none?
Garland: I don’t know the answer to either of those questions if there were any or if there are…
Massie: I think you may have just perjured yourself when you just said you don’t know if there were any. You want to say that again?
Garland: I have no personal knowledge of this matter. I think what I just said the last time…
Massie: You’ve had two years to find out! By the way that was in reference to Ray Epps and yesterday you indicted him! Isn’t that a wonderful coincidence? On a misdemeanor!
You indicted him on a misdemeanor and meanwhile you’re sending grandmas to prison. You’re putting people away for 20 years for merely filming. Some weren’t even there but you got the guy on video saying go into the Capitol, he’s at the sight of first breach, and it’s an indictment on a misdemeanor.
You’ve got all the goods on him, ten videos and it’s an indictment for a misdemeanor? The American public isn’t buying it.
Garland: May I answer the question?
Jordan: Go ahead.
Garland (stuttering):Um, in the cases of discovery, um, which were filed with respect to January 6, the prosecutors provided whatever information they had about, uh, to the question that you’re asking.
With respect to Mr. Epps, the FBI has said he was not an employee or foreman of, of the uh, FBI. Um, Mr. Epps has been charged, um, and I believe there is a proceeding going on today on that subject.
Massie: The charge is joke. I yield back to the Chairman.
