McCarthy vows impeachment if Garland is proven to have lied.
House Speaker McCarthy Threatens Impeachment Proceedings Against Attorney General Garland
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has issued a stern warning to Attorney General Merrick Garland, stating that impeachment proceedings will be initiated if it is discovered that Garland has lied to Congress. McCarthy’s statement comes ahead of Garland’s appearance before the House Judiciary Committee on September 20, where he will face questioning regarding the Justice Department’s handling of investigations into former President Donald Trump and the alleged “criminal bribery scheme” involving Hunter Biden and then-Vice President Joe Biden.
Republicans Demand Accountability
Republicans are not holding back in their criticism of the Department of Energy’s proposed gas stove regulations, labeling it an “alarming violation” of the law.
“If we find at the end of the day that Garland lied, I will start impeachment inquiry,” McCarthy emphasized during an interview with Jesse Watters Primetime.
Garland’s testimony follows the upcoming appearance of two IRS agent whistleblowers before the House Oversight Committee. These whistleblowers are expected to shed light on ”conflicts of interest, preferential treatment, deviations from normal investigative procedures, and conflicting information provided by Attorney General Merrick Garland to Congress,” according to an affidavit by IRS Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley.
Commitment to Fighting Corruption
McCarthy has made it clear that House Republicans will not back down in their pursuit of alleged corruption within the Biden family and the current administration. “We will not stop,” he vowed.
“We are not prosecutors. We don’t get to indict, but the one thing we have to do, we have to fight for every bit of information. Everything you know today,” McCarthy emphasized. “is only because we won the House, and we have not stopped going after this.”
McCarthy’s remarks coincide with former President Donald Trump’s announcement that he has received a ‘target’ letter from special counsel Jack Smith regarding another grand jury investigation into the events of January 6.
Two-Tiered Justice System
Responding to the news of Trump’s ’target’ letter, McCarthy expressed his concerns about the existence of two different judicial systems in America. “If you’re part of Biden Inc. family, you get treated one way. Everybody else gets treated differently,” he stated. ”This is one of the fundamental reasons why when we took the majority, we created the weaponization committee because we are going after this. This is wrong.”
“We want to bring justice. When you bring the truth to the American public, think of this: The FBI goes and raids Mar-a-Lago. But what do they do to Hunter Biden? They let the statute of limitations run out,” McCarthy added. “Time and again, we’ve shown the American public, if you are Biden Inc. family, you are treated differently than the rest of America. That will not stand. We will take this every direction we can.”
