Merrick Garland’s DOJ Blocks Republican Access to FBI’s Jan. 6 Documents – Opinion

Fresh off a brutal Wednesday beatdown during a Senate hearing on parents being labeled “domestic terrorists” for protesting Critical Race Training indoctrination of their children, it’s “almost” like Attorney General Merrick Garland is You can tryto have his sex kicked as much as possible by Republican legislators

Now we learn that the FBI continues to block Indiana Rep. Jim Banks — the leading Republican in the GOP’s investigation into the preparedness and response of the U.S. Capitol Police and other law enforcement agencies to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. What does Merrick Garland’s involvement have to this?

The FBI is responsible for answering questions from the Attorney General. He also heads the Justice Department. Any questions?

As reported by Mollie Hemingway and Tristan Justice of The Federalist, the FBI told Banks it would not provide Republicans the same information provided to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s hand-picked politically-expedient committee consisting only of Democrat-appointed members.

The FBI sent a response to the Republican request for information.

This reply is to your letter to Federal Bureau of Investigation, (FBI) dated September 16, 20,21. It sought information from FBI to the Select Committee to investigate the January 6th Attack at the United States Capitol.

The Department of Justice has responded on October 6th, 2021 to your letter of September I, 2021. Consistent with House Resolution 503, the FBI works on an ongoing basis with the Select Committee.

Please refer us to the Select Committee on access to records.

In effect, the FBI sent Banks off to beg Pelosi for the agency’s information on the attack.

As I’m wont to say in these situations, imagine for a nanosecond the histrionic response on the left if the parties were flipped, here. Envision the hysterical hyperventilation of CNN’s snitty Don Lemon and Mr. Potato Head Brian Stelter, or MSNBC hypocrites-extraordinaire Nicole Wallace and Joyless Joy Reid.

Pelosi being Pelosi, Justice and Hemingway both recounted that the TDS-effected Speaker chose what even She admitted was an “unprecedented” step by refusing the appointments made by Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA), barring Navy officer and Afghanistan veteran Banks and Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) from her pathetic circus.

Nonetheless, in a “fiery denunciation” of Pelosi’s politicization of the select committee, McCarthy publicly announced Banks would lead Republicans’ investigation despite Pelosi’s unprecedented behavior.

On September 3, Banks asked FBI Director Christopher Wray to give Republican lawmakers the same briefing offered to the Democrats on the progress of the agency’s investigation. Partial findings of the FBI’s independent investigation were leaked to Reuters in August, noted The Federalist, which found “scant evidence” that the Capitol riot was “an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result.”

Translation: “Scant evidence” meaning no evidence that Donald Trump was part of some ridiculously-charged “insurrection” of the U.S. Capitol, which is exactly why the FBI —undoubtedly under Garland’s direction — refused Banks’s request for access to the agency’s documents.

“Shockingly,” Wray never responded to Banks’s request.

Wray was finally notified by Banks in a Sept 16th letter. Wray sent several additional federal agencies a copy of the Indiana lawmaker’s second-class mail.

According to House of Representatives rules, the Congress minority party retains rights to same information as that provided to the majority party. Please send me all information submitted to the Select Committee.

The FBI director’s response, along with those of the other agencies — all under the control of the Biden administration? You can hear the crickets.

Interestingly, Pelosi named anti-Trump Republican Reps. Liz Cheney in Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger in Illinois to her trial. Cheney serves as Pelosi’s vice-chair. (See: “Na-na-na-na-na-na.”)

Only its dishonesty can match the depths of hypocrisy displayed by the Democrat Party.

Take a look at some other reports we have on the FBI flying wingman of the Democrat Party.
