Rep. Kelly Armstrong (R-ND), a member of the House Judiciary Committee and a candidate for governor, said during an appearance on Breitbart News on Saturday that President Biden’s use of professional luxury led to the launch of the sound of his meeting with special counsel Robert Hur.” Reading things on paper and hearing issues are two very different things.

” The DOJ]Department of Justice ] gave us the recordings… but they also leaked it to the media. And that’s going to become significant afterward, it shows a design at DOJ. Finally we asked for the films. We subpoenaed the tapes that, like anything else, whatever the best evidence is, we are entitled to it, he said, noting that “audio is more reliable than a transcript.”
” That’s really, I mean, if you, if you have the option between hearing anything in somebody’s individual words or you see it written on paper, you want to learn it in their own terms”, he explained, noting that “right before the content html and at the very last minute, the White House exerted professional pleasure on the tape”.
They have now waived senior opportunity when they leaked this information to the media. The DOJ’s truth is it will be a chilling influence for studies. I often think of hatred as a way to obtain the information you’re attempting to obtain. And I think Merrick Garland is unlikely to want to be held in contempt of Congress. Therefore, I believe there would have been a genuine opportunity to get the music after you held him in contempt of council. The White House probably understood that. And that’s why they reportedly invoked executive pleasure at the last moment. This situation, in my opinion, is won. I think there’s case law on point that says they do n’t have a valid claim. The question is, is how long does it take”? he asked.

Armstrong explained that it would be one factor if a prosecutor said it was the department’s policy never to indict a sitting leader,” but that’s not what he said.”
He stated that “he said he did n’t think he could get a conviction because Joe Biden’s mental state would be very sympathetic to a jury,” putting the emphasis on the fact that “reading things on paper and hearing things are two very different things.
” And I think they know that, and I mean, their argument… I mean, this is just supervision that we’re entitled to, and they keep saying … that we’re not and there’s no constitutional or scientific basis, although they obviously have a genuine social purpose that they are terrified of releasing it”, he warned, adding that the report “probably speaks for itself”.
LISTEN:
Armstrong expressed his hope that Merrick Garland will also be disrespected by the House.
We are the only one holding the executive branch accountable, or the entire organization. That is the purpose of congressional oversight. And if we just say that the Justice Department determines what evidence we can provide to hold them accountable outside of this case, which is, I mean, bad for the American people in the beginning, how that would operate in the separation of powers over the long term is a terrible idea, he said, adding that the White House has really put Merrick Garland in a box.
AG Garland disputes that the subpoena was not a legitimate request for “recordings bidden Blocked from release.”
