Merrick Garland, 'Do Your Job,' Says Frustrated Member Of House Panel Probing Capitol Riot
Contempt of Congress charges languish with the Department of Justice as the select committee's members fume at the attorney general.
Members of the House select committee investigating last year’s riot at the U.S. Capitol expressed frustration Monday over an apparently inattentive and slow-moving Justice Department, with one lawmaker telling Attorney General
Merrick Garland in a speech: “Do your job.”
Members complained of a lack of support from the Justice Department and were annoyed that criminal contempt of Congress charges have not yet been filed against former White House chief of staff
Mark Meadows for failure to comply with a subpoena from the committee.
The backlog is likely to grow with the
expected recommendation by the House panel to bring criminal contempt of Congress charges against
Donald Trump’s former trade adviser
Peters Navarro and ally Dan Scavino.
I hope AG Garland isn't as worthless as I think he is. He seems like a dud so far. What do you think?
