Arrr mateys, the scallywags at the House Judiciary Committee be cryin' foul! They be sayin' the Justice Department be keepin' secrets from 'em. Where be them transcripts and recordings, ye scurvy dogs? Walk the plank if ye don't comply! Arrr!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, the scallywags over at the House Judiciary Committee are complaining that the Justice Department hasn't handed over the transcripts or audio recordings of Special Counsel Robert Hur's chat with President Biden. Aye, they be sayin' they got a subpoena demandin' these documents by March 7, but no treasure has been delivered!Arr matey, them Republicans be sendin' a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland in February, lettin' him know about the subpoena. But the DOJ only sent a wee bit of information, not the juicy bits the committee be after. The scallywags are sayin' their staff be ready to review the President's interview, which touched on matters found in dodgy places like garages and closets.The Justice Department be claimin' they be in touch with the Committees and planned to respond to the subpoenas on Thursday. But them House Oversight Committee and Judiciary Committee be worried that President Biden might be holding onto sensitive documents related to his family's foreign dealings. Hur, the Special Counsel, released a report sayin' Biden's memory be like a leaky barrel, but he ain't recommending any criminal charges. Looks like there be more twists and turns in this tale, with Hur settin' sail to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on March 12.
