House Judiciary voted to advance a contempt of Congress resolution against Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday over the Robert Hur tapes.
Judiciary Committee members voted 18 to 15 to advance the contempt resolution against Garland for refusing to hand over audio recordings from special counselCommittee, the other committee taking up a contempt resolution, moved their meeting from Thursday morning to 8 p.m.
House GOP members on the Judiciary Committee spent most of the hearing declaring that the executive branch “doesn’t get to choose” what evidence they provide to the committee, while House Democrats blasted Republicans for politicizing the issue and wanting the audio recording for “Donald Trump’s campaign commercials” or use Biden’s stutter to “smear” him.
Republicans latched onto those lines quickly as evidence that the president is not mentally competent to serve as commander-in-chief, believing that the audio recording will shed light on Biden’s mannerisms, colloquialisms, and ability to answer questions.“The person providing the evidence doesn’t get to choose the manner in form in which the evidence is provided. … There’s a difference between a transcript and a video and audio,” Armstrong continued.
Ivey also argued that Republicans did not raise concerns with Hur about lying or altering his findings when the special counsel “It’s nice to see that some of my colleagues on the other side can make it today,” Rep. Eric Swalwell said. “I don’t know if that means that there weren’t enough seats in the courtroom in New York.”
