If Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro have to go prison...so does Merrick Garland

@RepMTG is right.

@RepMTG The House has now held Merrick Garland in Contempt of Congress.

@RepMTG Congressional contempt should lead to jail.

But don’t take my word for it, listen to Democrats saying so for 3+ minutes.

So then why is the DOJ refusing to prosecute Merrick Garland?

@RepMTG ...Garland seems entirely adrift in his own department. While offering platitudes about being beyond politics, he continues to run interference for the Biden White House. He appears to be looking to close aides for direction.

@RepMTG House Republicans advanced Merrick Garland's contempt proceedings in Congress over his refusal to release the Biden audio tapes.

Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us.
It’s time to fight back.

This is the rot at the core of our broken political system.

Attorney General Pam Bondi explains what really happened with Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan that led to her arrest by FBI
"Takes the defendant and the defense attorney back in her chambers. Takes them out a private exit and tells them to leave. While the state prosecutor and victims of domestic violence are sitting in the courtroom."

Let's discuss the *actual* charges against Judge Hannah Dugan using the Complaint against her.
tl;dr - she sent the man in question into the public hallway where agents there to arrest him watched him walk by and did nothing. - Ann Jacobs
