While there are several issues \u2063that Garland \u2064needs to address, such as the targeting of \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-doj-threatening-to-lock-peaceful-pro-life-protesters-in-prison-for-11-years\/\" title=\"Biden's DOJ warns of 11-year prison term for peaceful pro-life protesters.\">pro-life\u2064 protesters<\/a>,\u2063 the Judiciary Committee should prioritize getting answers to these key questions.<\/p>\n<h3>Uncovering the Truth about \u2064the \u2062Hunter Biden Investigation<\/h3>\n<p>The committee should begin by directly questioning Garland about the Hunter Biden investigation. They should \u200dinquire about his communication with Weiss and whether he assigned an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-antrim-co-forensic-report-bombshell-reveals-dominion-machines-were-set-at-68-05-error-ratemeaning-68-05-of-ballots-could-be-sent-out-for-mass-adjudication-giving-individuals-or-ma\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Antrim Co.

The committee needs to understand\u2064 the specifics of Weiss&#8217;s discussions with Garland and\u2062 his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/heres-how-the-house-should-grill-attorney-general-merrick-garland\/\" title=\"How to Properly Question Attorney General Merrick Garland\">assistant\u2062 attorneys general<\/a>, including any mention of special counsel status \u200dand when Weiss was granted authority to\u2064 prosecute Hunter Biden in other districts.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;General Garland, you told Sen. Chuck Grassley on March 1, 2023, that\u2062 the U.S.\u2064 Attorney in Delaware has &#8216;full authority&#8217; to bring cases in other jurisdictions if\u2064 necessary.\u2062 But that&#8217;s \u200cnot true, is it? Weiss \u2062didn&#8217;t\u2064 have &#8216;full authority&#8217; until after you\u2063 named him special counsel, correct?&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, the committee should investigate the\u200d extent of the Delaware U.S. attorney&#8217;s office&#8217;s\u2063 investigative authority and whether \u200cMain Justice\u2063 provided oversight. They should question Garland about his conversations \u2062with other Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys and his communications with FBI Director Christopher Wray regarding the involvement of FBI headquarters in the investigation.<\/p>\n<h3>Clarifying the Investigation and Weiss&#8217;s Authority<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to uncovering the details of the investigation, the House Judiciary Committee should seek clarification on three\u200b important aspects. First, they should inquire about the breadth or limits of Weiss&#8217;s authority as &#8220;special counsel&#8221; and why an outsider was not appointed as regulations require. They should also ask about the resources Weiss has requested and whether his office is\u200b investigating\u200d individuals beyond Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Second, the committee should question Garland about Department of Justice\u2064 policies and whether he maintained the policy put in place by former\u200c Attorney General William Barr regarding investigations against presidential\u2063 candidates. They should \u2062determine if Weiss&#8217;s team would need Garland&#8217;s permission to investigate potential\u2062 criminal activity \u200dinvolving Joe Biden and when such authority would be granted.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the committee should obtain assurances from \u200bGarland that the DOJ will cooperate fully in the \u2063House&#8217;s \u2063impeachment inquiry and not withhold\u2063 information or evidence.\u200d If Garland continues to stonewall the probe, he should expect to face his own impeachment inquiry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What measures\u2063 does\u200b Attorney\u2064 General Garland\u200c plan \u2062to \u200bimplement to address \u2062concerns of politicization within the Department of Justice and enhance its\u200c credibility? How will\u200b he\u2064 protect the department&#8217;s independence from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kevin-mccarthy-calls-on-pentagon-to-restore-nsa-general-counsel-michael-ellis-to-active-service\/\" title=\"Kevin McCarthy Calls on Pentagon to Restore NSA General Counsel Michael Ellis to Active Service\">undue political influence<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><span>  Ty over the case.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore,\u2062 the committee should\u200b seek clarification on Garland&#8217;s decision \u2064to appoint a special counsel for the investigation. They should inquire about\u2062 the reasons behind\u200d this decision and whether it was influenced \u2063by any political considerations. It is essential to determine if the appointment of a special counsel was a genuine effort\u200c to\u2062 ensure impartiality and independence, or if it was merely a political\u200c move to protect \u200dthe Biden family.<\/p>\n<h3>Addressing Concerns over \u2061Protester Targeting<\/h3>\n<p>Another \u2064pressing issue that Attorney General Garland needs to\u200c address is the \u200balleged targeting of pro-life \u200bprotesters. There have been reports of unfair treatment and excessive charges against individuals \u200dengaged in peaceful protests outside abortion \u200cclinics. The committee must inquire about the Department of\u200d Justice&#8217;s stance on First Amendment rights and whether they are\u200d being \u2063adequately \u200cprotected\u200d in these cases.<\/p>\n<p>Garland\u200b should explain the guidelines and \u200dprotocols followed by the\u2064 Department when it\u2062 comes to dealing with \u2063protests and demonstrations, ensuring that they respect the constitutional rights of all citizens. The committee should also investigate\u200c whether any political bias or ideological motivation played a role in the handling of these \u2064cases.<\/p>\n<h3>Ensuring Accountability and Transparency in the \u2062Department of Justice<\/h3>\n<p>Lastly, the committee should use this opportunity \u2062to discuss broader accountability and transparency measures within the Department of Justice. \u2063They should inquire about Garland&#8217;s \u2062plans \u200cto address \u200cconcerns regarding politicization of the department and whether he intends to implement any reforms to enhance its credibility.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2063committee\u2062 should also question Garland \u200cabout\u200d his stance \u200don protecting the independence of the Justice Department from any undue political influence. Additionally, they should inquire about his commitment to uphold the principles of impartiality, fairness, and equal treatment under the \u200blaw.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>Attorney General Merrick Garland&#8217;s upcoming testimony before the \u200cHouse Judiciary Committee presents a crucial opportunity for Congress to \u2062gain clarity on several contentious issues. The committee should prioritize uncovering the\u2064 truth about the Hunter Biden investigation, addressing \u200bconcerns \u2064over protester\u2063 targeting, and ensuring accountability and transparency within the Department of Justice. It is imperative that Attorney General Garland provides honest and comprehensive answers to these questions to uphold the integrity of his\u2062 position and fulfill his duty to the American people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Attorney General Merrick Garland will testify before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, his first appearance since an IRS whistleblower challenged his statement about U.S. Attorney David Weiss&#8217;s authority over Hunter Biden&#8217;s case.
