Attorney General Merrick Garland may have been caught perjuring himself before Congress.
Garland had been called to testify before committee on the powers he granted US Attorney David Weiss, who was later named Special Counsel.
During that hearing, Garland stated that he had been asked and granted Weiss the authority to do whatever he thought needed to be done.
Weiss, however, tells a bit of a different story.
Perjury?
Garland testified, “Mr. Weiss asked to be made special counsel.
“I had promised that I would give him all the resources he needed and I made him special counsel.”
He added, “I promised the Senate that I would not interfere… I would not influence the investigation.
“I do not intend to discuss internal Justice Department deliberations, whether or not I had them.”
The key here is that Garland makes it sound as though the moment Weiss came to him, he gave him the authority he needed to press charges against Hunter, but that was not the case.
Weiss actually asked for this authority on February 2022, and he was denied.
When Weiss testified on this, however, he made it sound like it was not a denial, just part of the process, clearly covering for Garland.
He testified, “I asked for something, and in that conversation, they didn’t give it to me.”
On finally being granted the “515 Special Attorney authority,” he added, “You want me to say it’s a denial, but it’s not.
“Not when I know that, weeks later, I was specifically told, ‘You can proceed.'”
This is like saying that even though your girlfriend shot you down 10 straight times for a date, she eventually said yes, so those other rejections don’t count.
This sounds like that viral video about “girl math.”
To me, this sounds an awful lot like Garland perjured himself.
