Attorney General Merrick Garland will strike a defiant tone Wednesday in defending the Justice Department as independent of the White House and Congress, while Republicans ratchet up criticism of high-profile investigations of Hunter Biden and Donald Trump.
“Our job is to uphold the rule of law,” Garland said in remarks prepared for a hearing at the House Judiciary Committee. “Our job is not to do what is politically convenient.”
Garland’s testimony on Capitol Hill comes against a backdrop of multiple investigations that are politically fraught. The House Judiciary Committee chairman, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, has also blasted Garland for how the Justice Department handlea inquiries involving school boards, Catholics and anti-abortion protesters.

What a shame of Justice Department under Garland what a corrupt criminal has been put of as a head of our justice department, Garland must be removed!!!!!
GARLAND LIED
LOL, loved when they said the Pledge and some raised their voices when they said, “and justice for all.” Point well taken.
How ANY human being can look at Garland as anything other than somebody prepping the planet for Alien take-over is beyond me….what a disgrace to humanity…
This guy can't even hide the fact that he's lying and trying to be deceptive and evasive. He's a train wreck looking for a place to happen
This guy hasn't said squat. All he does is talk in circles. Says things that doesn't have anything to do with the question he was asked
You notice, it's always someone else's fault?
Impeach Garlnd, Mayorkis, Wray and Biden! We the people demand it!!! We need to drain the rat swamp and start holding accountability today!!
You're pointing fingers at others just to protect your —. Shame on you and me, her, and them. LOL……
Who GAF who appointed Weiss? What difference does it make? Is he saying just because he was appointed by GOP, that he would be beyond helping the Bidens?
I love how nadler is already starting with the Russian and China messing with the next election
Did anybody hear what I just heard about the Constitutional Right to travel???
Weiss wasn’t ’Hand Picked’ by Pres. Trump. Weiss was Blue Slipped in by the Dems
Get Garland a Hearing Aid!
Garland should’ve been asked WHY he had to ‘Promise’ NOT to Interfere in the investigation of Hunter Biden. Is that something he would’ve normally done otherwise? Maybe with the Previous Administration?
Prove that historical event happened using science, forensics and aerial photography. I'll give you one year…LOL.
Merrick (along with Alejandro)are top ranked experts in the science of the lie and the art of obfuscation. . .it's breathtaking to watch them, yes it is.
Thank goodness Garland never made it to the Supreme Court.
Mr. Nadler opening statement against Republikcans is everything what Democrats are doing right now! He talks about domestic terrorism – let us remember, democrats labeled americans who wanted to protect their children right in schools as terrorists! Not some crime individuals who are bringing fentanyl to the streets of america, no! They labeled parents and regular citizens who expressed their opinions about covid on social media! DEMOCRATS OPENED BORDERS to all kind of people, including human traffickers, criminals and drug dealers. So much about the subjects Mr. Nadler would love to speak instead of the current topic. Democrats would like you to believe white supremacy is what is deviding America – divide and conquer – that's their strategy. To keep you focused on racism while they abuse the law and your taxes dollars to form legal policies to take away you freedom of speech, based on media created lie that the hate speech and fake facts are harming america. Soon enough ,no matter what they do if they say it's right you must keep your mouth shut! That is what democrats stand for! And when they lie , they know you know they lie – They don't care. They will continue to gaslight the public as long they have mainstream media confirming and repeating the same words. It is called "creating a reality" – You know who did it and perfected it in the 2nd WW
I'm surprised comments are permitted. The American public understands very well that it is under attack, Republicans, free thinkers, Catholics, taxpayers, Democrats who don't tow the party line. We're all Lahaina at this point. And we will win. And Shifty and Swalwell and Nadler and Lieu and Garland and Weiss and all the conspirators will receive their just desserts under the law. But the best punishment would be banishment. Even an American prison cell is too good for them.
Dont you love how the whole defund the police crew from may of 2020 until the elections last year NOW want more law enforcement??? They acutely defunded New York city L.A and Philadelphia and many more by billions of dollars. Now they act like they've never said defund the police. This is insane the left is unbelievably crazy.
