'We Need To Get To The Facts': Kevin McCarthy Signals His Support For Impeaching AG Merrick Garland After Explosive Accusations Surface

We need to get to the facts, and that includes reconciling these clear disparities. U.S. Attorney David Weiss must provide answers to the House Judiciary Committee.

If the whistleblowers' allegations are true, this will be a significant part of a larger impeachment inquiry into… https://t.co/Q3LLeJhW85

The purported instances of the weaponization of the Department of Justice (DoJ) are wide-ranging -- extending from alleged bias in the Hunter Biden probe to the Biden administration's raid of Trump's residence in Mar-a-Lago. The American people can see through the facade of impartiality and demand answers. Our systems of justice must be fair, and they must operate outside the sphere of politics. But the DoJ seems unconcerned with the rising distrust of patriotic Americans around our nation. 

McCarthy was replying to a tweet from the Washington Examiner's Byron York, which read, "IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley testified that US Atty in charge of Hunter investigation, David Weiss, said he wanted to bring charges in DC but was denied. Many of you balked. Didn't happen! No way Shapley could know that! Now, here's some more from Shapley:"

David Weiss, the US Attorney for Delaware, was overseeing the probe into Hunter Biden. But if whistleblower accusations are to be believed, he was allegedly denied the opportunity to pursue certain charges surrounding Hunter Biden -- including Special Counsel status. 

As the New York Post reports, IRS Whistleblower Gary Shapley said in a statement, “In an October 7, 2022, meeting at the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s Office, U.S. Attorney David Weiss told six witnesses he did not have authority to charge in other districts and had thus requested special counsel status. Mr. Shapley would have no insight into why Mr. Weiss’s would make these statements at the October 7, 2022 meeting if they were false. That Mr. Weiss made these statements is easily corroborated, and it is up to him and the Justice Department to reconcile the evidence of his October 7, 2022 statements with contrary statements by Mr. Weiss and the Attorney General to Congress,” the statement continued.

In turn, Merrick Garland publically repudiated Shapley's remarks, saying, "As I said at the outset, Mr. Weiss was appointed by President Trump as the US Attorney in Delaware and assigned this matter during the previous administration and would be permitted to continue his investigation and to make a decision to prosecute any way in which he wanted to and in any district in which he wanted to."

This is a developing story, but it is encouraging to see the House Speaker expressing interest in holding Biden and his cronies accountable.
