As we reported earlier, Attorney General Merrick Garland was grilled by the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday.
In one hot exchange, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) laid into him over his response, not agreeing immediately to turn over communications with any of the people involved in the lawfare prosecutions against former President Donald Trump. He also grilled him over the curious career path of Matthew Colangelo, who was an Assistant Attorney General under Garland but then made the odd choice to take a step down to work for the Manhattan DA. Gaetz delved into that question and asked about the effort to “get Trump.”

Then Biggs went to the point in the Hur report about finding Biden to be a “well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.” Biggs asked Garland if he disputed that Hur made a “prosecutorial decision not to prosecute” for that reason. Again, Garland tried to play deflection games. Garland claimed that was just one of the reasons Hur made the decision. Biggs then asked him to name another, which left Garland stammering, although he claimed, “one of them” was that Biden was “completely cooperative.” Being “cooperative” after you’re caught doesn’t change the fact that you did it…
