2024-06-04
Avast ye landlubbers! The Attorney General Merrick Garland be settin' sail to face the scallywags in Congress and defend the FBI's raid on that scurvy dog Trump's Mar-a-Lago abode. Arrr, mayhaps he'll find some buried treasure while he's there!
Arrr, me hearties! Attorney General Merrick Garland be facin' the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday mornin' to give a jolly good response to former President Donald Trump's tall tales that FBI agents were "locked & loaded ready to take me out & put me family in danger" during a search o' Mar-a-Lago.Garland be denyin' any suggestions that the Justice Department be pullin' the strings in the New York hush money case against the former president, and he be pushin' back on the committee's efforts to hold him in contempt, a measure that passed the committee but not yet hit the House Floor.The attorney general be leadin' with the important work the Department be doin' under his watch, like decreasin' homicide rates and fightin' international terrorism, but he be also callin' out false narratives about the Department's work.Last month, Trump be blatherin' about Biden's DOJ authorizin' the FBI to kill him durin' a search at Mar-a-Lago, but the use of force language be standard procedure for years, used even when FBI agents searched President Biden's home.Garland be standin' firm against the contempt effort, sayin' it be baseless and dangerous, and he be maintainin' that the attacks on the DOJ be unprecedented and unfounded. He be swearin' not to be intimidated and to defend democracy with all his might.
