DOJ won't prosecute AG Garland for contempt for refusal to turn over audio from Biden, Hur interview

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The transcripts have been edited of course.

No.

 

[MisterBeale]

Republicans only want the tapes to use in a campaign against Biden. That’s not an appropriate use of a congressional subpoena.

Of course that is what they want it for, and of course it is absolutely appropriate, don't be daft.

What is NOT appropriate, and completely corrupt, is the establishment trying to hide that from the taxpayers.


Good lord, show some integrity and stahp acting like Trump.




If the old man in the oval office is not mentally acute enough to stand trial, he certainly isn't fit to be president.

I have seen straw polls, where folks have said, they would not let a man with the mental competency of Biden pilot them on a flight or baby sit their kids.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with highlighting his supposed mental competency in political ads, and were the shoe on the other foot? You would certainly want to see a tape of Trump being interviewed as well.

I have seen you post, don't be so disingenuous. You have got more honesty than this don't you?

What is best for the republic is more important than partisan politics, no?

 

[MisterBeale]

Congressional subpoenas are for government oversight, not political gain.

Finding out the competency of the president, according to the 25th amendment?

I'd say that is government oversight.

I'd say that is government oversight.

What does Congress have to do with the 25th amendment? That process comes from the VP and cabinet.

It’s not government oversight.

". . . or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President."

It is impossible to remove by impeachment on the 25th if they don't know he isn't the one in charge anymore.

Impeachment has absolutely nothing to do with the 25th amendment.

Congress can’t remove the president by the 25th amendment at all. They can only respond to the issue if it’s raised by the VP. So there’s no point in a subpoena when there isn’t anything to respond to.

 

[Godboy]

So, you're saying that there's zero chance of Garland ever going to prison.

Look around you man. I know you democrats are blind, but come on!!! Do you see ANY signs that Joe will win this thing? Isnt his news bad news, like every single day?

 

[MisterBeale]

Congress can’t remove the president by the 25th amendment at all.

". . . Section 4 declares that, if the vice president and a majority of the executive Cabinet or a Congressionally appointed review body feel the president is no longer able to perform their duties, they can submit this belief in writing to Congress, resulting in the replacement of the president with the vice president. The president can submit a declaration to the contrary and bring the matter to voting in Congress.

Section 4 is the most controversial and has yet to be successfully used. The closest this section ever came to actual use was during Reagan's presidency, when he was undergoing surgery after being shot in March 1981. His administration prepared the paperwork to make Vice President George H.W. Bush acting president, but it was never signed. Several members of his staff again suggested it in 1987, arguing the president was mentally inept, but his chief of staff disagreed and it was not further pursued.

It was again proposed during Trump's presidency but was not ultimately invoked. . . "

Republicans have called for an investigation into the potential of invoking the amendment to remove President Joe Biden.

Learn to read. The White House confirmed the transcripts were altered. Run along now, I have no time for illiterates like you.

Seriously? We know that Trump supporters are cult fanatics, but Trump has zero chance of beating Biden.

Trump's political high point was winning the 2016 election. He lost the popular vote and barely won in 5 battleground states. Without Russian help he would have lost.

Every election since has turned out badly for Trump supporters - especially the 2020 election.

Trump is the most hated politician in history. He has no chance of winning.

Wake up from your delusion!

Ok, so now youve made your wildly bold claim. Do you have a plan to convince us that one word of that is true? Do you have anything to back that weird shit up?

When did Congress appoint such a body?

All the President has to do is write a letter saying that he's O.K. and he returns to office.

It then would take 2/3 of both houses to keep him removed from office.

You seem to have forgotten the second half of the 25th amendment:

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office

Look at the statistics from both elections, dumbass.

Dunno man. Markets set another record today.

 

[Couchpotato]

Ok. That's not a legal justification to not release it though. Congress and the public has a right to it via FOIA laws and the fact that it might be bad for a political candidate it irrelevant.

 

[Rogue AI]

The WH does not have the transcripts. Do you understand that?

Another illiterate. How sad.

 

[Couchpotato]

Dunno man. Markets set another record today.

People struggling to pay their rent and put food on the table dont give a shit about market records.

Cost of housing is up 40% and I think food is about the same since 2020.

 

[Godboy]

Look at the statistics from both elections, dumbass.

Why would that have any bearing TODAY? Youre saying that because Biden won last time, that means he will win this time? Are you seriously pushing this as your evidence that Joe is going to win again?

 

[Godboy]

Dunno man. Markets set another record today.

Since when have voters given two shits about the markets? Do any of you dems read the polls that say whats important to Americans? The stock market isnt on the list.
