#MerrickGarland #AttorneyGeneral #HunterBiden
Republicans are delusional.
Democrats are way smarter than republicans..
Non answer
He can’t because he’s not the one investigating 🤡. Why don’t you blame trump who nominated that US attorney. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
No he gave the correct answer. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s wrong
Non comment
Not really. Garland has nothing to do with the “Hunter Biden Case”. tfg appointed the US Attorney and put him in charge of the “Hunter Biden Case”. If you’ve got a problem with his decision, Garland can’t help you.
Also i had a case number from DOJ ,
What is Merrick Garland doing in Stockholm.
Stockholm syndrom?
*Wherever there’s CORRUPTION, it’s the GOP!!!*
GQP logic – 2+2=potato.
The charges against Biden are on a totally different scale then the ones against trump. Willful retention of nation defence information and refusing to comply with a grand jury subpoena are nowhere near paying your taxes late – and then pleading guilty.
Excellent answer!
Hunter vs Trump, what a stupid time in history…..
Brought to you by MAGA
@John Martindaleyeah because that makes any sense at all
AG is full of crap they were involved in all of this and they are Above the Rule of Law if you are a Democrat !!
Hunter Biden was charge and prosecuted by Trump assigned personnel! 😂 Republicans: not paying taxes n stole national documents r the same crimes!
during Soviet Union era,
the Soviet government significantly curbed the rule of law,civil liberties,protection of law and guarantees of property,which were considered as examples of “bourgeois morality” by Soviet law theorists such as Andrey Vyshinsky According to Vladimir Lenin,the purpose of socialist courts was not to eliminate terror but to substantiate it and legitimize it in principle”Propaganda poster in Petrograd 1918: “Death to the Bourgeoisie and its lapdogs – Long live the Red Terror”
Among the victims of the Red Terror were aristocrats tsarists, liberals, non-Bolshevik socialists, anarchists,members of the clergy, ordinary criminals,counter-revolutionaries,and other political dissidents,Later industrial workers who failed to meet production quotas were also targeted..Crime was determined not as the infraction of law instead it was determined as any action which could threaten the Soviet state and society. For example a desire to make a profit could be interpreted as a counter-revolutionary activity punishable by death..
Can you cover for Hunter when he faces AR Family Court judge?
Do you know what was being discussed here?
Well put.
So Garlando gets up from his politicized arm chair to address the peons…. Boy have we got a fighter for democracy or what?
FILE UNDER: “Or What…..”
File under: ignorant comment
@Jony Rotten File Under: Responses from Trumpanzee Idiots.😊
Either trump is just playing stupid or he’s just looking for an excuse to delegitimize his investigation. Does trump not know that he nominated the US attorney that was selected to investigate hunter? Mannn…. 🤦♂️. And his gullible supporters eat it all up too
I can tell ya from personal experience that usually what happens in this case is the following.
1 IRS sends a letter saying call us NOW!!!!!
2 You spend hours on hold to find out whats wrong
3 you make arrangements to pay your back taxes
4 you pay your back taxes and NO criminal charges are made.
Biden has already paid his back taxes and the only reason he got charged was because of politcal reasons.
If someone claims to be from the IRS on the phone, this is a scam!!! Do not fall for it!!!
So, a Trump appointed attorney that was assigned to this case done his job and Republicans are still crying. I thought Trump hires the best people.
What does it matter who appoints the prosecutor?
Trump has nothing to do with this. You’re brainwashed. If anything think of lil Wayne in jail for gun possession charge and hunter Biden walks free. Simply a two tier system and everyone no matter which side is tired of this.
@Howard Ross Because you expect him to make sure the appointee is unbiased.
If it doesn’t fit the GQQP agenda, they’re gonna cry.
It seems like a pretty big use of a scapegoat here from Garland anytime they’re questions on something they don’t like they blame it on the previous administration
I have a question why is trump not in prison?
DOJ is afraid to set the precedent of a former president prosecuted and sent to jail, specifically [DOJ being] under a different party affiliation of the former president.
There is absolutely no comparison between the Trump cases an the Hunter Biden cases. This is getting fkn ridiculous. The deal fits the precedents’ of the statutes for a first-time offender. The only times the gun charge resulted in jail time was when the gun was used during a crime. Provisions of: 26 U.S. Code § 7203, 18 U.S. Code § 922
He did not get off easy. He got what others got.
Hunter didn’t steal top secret documents and then spend a year and a half lying about having them. To say an apple to an orange doesn’t do this justice but we will go with that one
😝
So now they agree with this Trump appointed attorney? What about who fired the IRS agents who were investigating Hunter? They had a lot of time to cover their tracks and we conform the Biden Administration is corrupt.
oh DOJ Garland, please go away
That was a fox reporter. Why dont he ask AG appointed by Trump or Mr Barr
That was a work of art. Well done.
Yea, beautiful answer
This guy is as likely to tell the truth about any think
gop whines and whines and whines then threatens people with their 2nd amendment until you realize that they are the modern day version of the crazy townspeople from all monty python movies. yes, deplorable. you keep proving us right.
The maga grumble gutters can take their complaints up with the Trump appointed prosecutor that handled the case.
What a simple answer.
🇺🇸
Why aren’t Republicans upset about Hunter losing his gun? I thought they were very pro NRA.
Black men would be in prison for the same crimes!
They already are did a rapper not get 3 years for same charges
Merrick garland And Communist Establishment Covering Up for the Biden Crime Family
*AT LEAST HE’S OWNING UP TO IT*
*UNLIKE CHUMP* 🤡
*AMERICA IS HOLDING TERRORISTS ACCOUNTABLE AGAIN*
*CHUMP20TOLIFE* 🇺🇲🇺🇲
Garland, where did Hunter and Joe get their 10 million dollars when Biden was VP? And what did China get in return? On video, Biden actually did what Trumps 2nd impeachment attempt was about, a Quid Pro Quo from Ukraine.
Love that clarification….!!!!!! Hope the MAGA GOP’s will now stop raving on BS on any crimes about Hunter Biden and start focusing on talking about the real crime the Trump and his family has actually committed…!
The usual Biden Administration answer. Go ask someone else. Who will probably have no comment.
Garland is a snake in the grass 💯 percent
Just fire everyone in this cursed political party and joe bindin and his family and friends
They simply don’t answer questions. Same goes with press secretary. They play the lawyer card too much nowadays. What a mess
Dementia Joe barely can talk, has to be guided offstage. Good Times to be an American.
Absolute liar.
Everything Trump told us was true democrats caused it all more proof from Durham today. Schiff lost all credibility. Native Americans for Trump 2024
At the end of the day, they’re not coming after Hunter. They’re coming after you, and he is just standing in the way.
Now Hunters Free they can open up a can of worms On Joe this was Republicans plan all along all the evidence from the lap top is open season on Biden, was planned to let him slide Now they cant hold back evidence by saying its under investigation lol fools just dug there own graves gotta Love the timing of all this
It’s a shame that everything we thought about out government, DOJ, and FBI are dirty and can’t be trusted is 100% true.
Hunter tax problems are preschool level compaired to trumps
Now justice will be served. He was hiding behind his father, now lets see what the democrats will say. They wanted proof of these administration trail of corruption and now you have it. Ordinary people are sent to jail for less. Trump is treated like a devil and it is fair because he is guilt. But the law is a law, being your father the president or not.
Garland =CROOK.
What a f_cking weasel!
Trump will be re-elected and have all of them locked up. Can’t wait.
This is not over.. more whistle blowers just delivered an email proving Biden and hunter communication.this is a corruptive administration..stayed tuned
Somebody smack Garland in the face for his disgraceful handling of the doj.
Get out of jail free card issued to Hunter by his father.
What a cop out answer. This man is spineless.
Would you expect anything more? He’s a lousy liberal. All they know are lies.
One law for all. Bill, other men prison.
American 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Let us the taxpayers not file for 4 years and May 5.1 millions.
This is for far left votes 🗳️ see what will happen to our property,bank accounts.!!!!!
This is why the Far Left Don’t want a GOP in White House.!!!
Washington DC is dirty to the core.!!!!
God don’t like Ugly.!!!
smoothie smooth wanted to put this criminal on the supreme court. what does that tell you about him?
GARLAND NEEDS PROSECUTED FOR TREASONOUS ACTIONS!!!
LIAR!!!
Thank Goodness Garland never made it to the Supreme Court
Looks like a sure fire conflict of interest. When I went through the police academy a wise old cop told us that when on the job there was little room for error. But just being right was not enough. He told us that “You not only have to be right; but you have to appear to be right”. The Biden administration fails miserably on both counts.
He is No Trump
bought and paid for by the bidun crime family ,thats all you need to know about out DOJ.
What a puede of garbage Garland is
CORRUPT POS! I PRAY EVERY DAY HE IS TAKEN OUT@@@@ Just another Gestapo POS!
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. Now is one of those times. The people need to stand up to Joe Biden, liberals, and the federal government for our rights, our freedom, and our liberty!! We need a modern day group of founding fathers to launch the second American Revolution!!
let’s round up all these people and put them in a room and start demanding answers, it kinda like the Unforgiven scene , where little Bill say go get the whores and if those lie’s ain’t the same lie’s , “i’m going to hurt you real bad not like before”.
How many hundreds of black men are serving years in prison for the same weapons charge Hunter faced? Not a single black should be voting Democrat.
If he were republican he would be terrorized
Terror
