Rep. Roy to Newsmax: DOJ Already Waived Executive Privilege on Biden Interview

By James Morley III | Thursday, 16 May 2024 05:30 PM EDT


Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, told Newsmax on Thursday that the Department of Justice "already waived executive privilege" when it gave the House Judiciary Committee the transcript of President Joe Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur.

Earlier in the day, the committee voted to proceed with an effort to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress after the White House blocked access to the audio recording of Biden's interview with Hur. Garland had advised Biden that the audio falls within the scope of executive privilege.

"So we voted today to hold the attorney general in contempt," Roy said during an appearance on "The Chris Salcedo Show."

A who’s-who of Obama administration alumni are seemingly behind a concerted push to drive a wedge between President Joe Biden and Israel.

For weeks, stories of chaos across the nation’s college campuses dominated the media. Anti-Israel protestors set up encampments, ignored charges of trespassing and ripped down the American flag to replace it with the Palestinian flag, all to protest the United States’ pro-Israel stance in the country’s war against Hamas. Recent reporting by Tablet Magazine, as well as public statements from former White House officials, reveal that members of the Obama administration are stoking the flames of anti-Israel sentiment in the Democratic Party, exacerbating a headache for Biden.

During the chaos, Biden avoided the press for nine days before publicly stating that the protests were not influencing his policy. But the damage was done, and some began to question the president’s commitment to Israel.

Rep. Tiffany to Newsmax: Release Biden Tapes for the People

By Jim Thomas | Thursday, 16 May 2024 09:24 PM EDT


On Newsmax on Thursday, Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., emphasized the importance of transparency regarding the release of audio of President Joe Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur.

"What does the Biden family, what does President Biden, what does the White House have to hide? Let's give the American people the full information, which includes those audio tapes," he said during an appearance on "American Agenda."

Tiffany insisted that the American people deserve access to the truth, asserting, "For me, it's just a matter of the American people should see the truth. They should hear the truth. They should be able to hear this stuff in its raw form, and they will make a decision."

Biden's use of executive privilege Thursday to withhold audio recordings of his interviews with special counsel Robert Hur has sparked controversy and raised questions about the limits of transparency in the current administration.

Tiffany criticized the decision, questioning the administration's motives, stating, "So it really does lead someone to believe that they're trying to hide something."

Trump Allies Rush to Show Support at New York Trial

While the former president remains under a gag order that limits what he can say about the trial, his surrogates are increasingly speaking out.

Former President Donald Trump’s Republican allies have appeared in growing numbers at his New York trial—a trend that “sheds more light on” the trial, according to Larry Snowden, leader of Club 47 USA, known as the largest group of Trump supporters in the United States.

Mr. Snowden, observing news reports from his home in Florida, told The Epoch Times that it’s important to add prominent voices to the former president’s criticisms of the records-falsification case. They denounce it as a political prosecution—an allegation that those involved strongly reject.

Since last week, when Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) called the persecution of President Trump “despicable” in a widely publicized speech outside the court, other members of Congress and possible Trump vice presidential picks have followed suit. They attended the trial and then gave statements to news reporters outside the Manhattan courthouse.

Their outcry supplements President Trump’s protestations while a gag order limits what he can say about the trial.

“The American people now see more and more what’s really going on,” Mr. Snowden said. “No one is being fooled by this. It’s very obvious to the majority of American people that all of this is a game to try and defeat President Trump by keeping him from being out and campaigning.”

That’s backfiring, Mr. Snowden said, noting that the former president drew tens of thousands of people to a rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, on May 11.

COMMENTARY

By Charles Hurt - The Washington Times - Thursday, May 16, 2024

OPINION:

New York Mayor Eric Adams just returned from Rome for a field trip to learn how to deal with the exploding Biden migrant population residing illegally in his city. He met with the pope.

There is no telling what Pope Francis told the mayor, but the answer should have been pretty clear.

Since about the 840s, the Vatican has protected itself by erecting massive stone walls surrounding the city — welcoming all, but requiring all visitors to enter through big beautiful gates controlled by the pope himself.

Elegant, simple and pretty smart, if you think about it. No word yet if Mr. Adams learned the right lesson.

House panel holds Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress over Hur tapes

GOP rejects Biden's assertion of executive privilege to keep tapes hidden

VIDEO

By Susan Ferrechio - The Washington Times - Thursday, May 16, 2024


The House Judiciary Committee voted Thursday to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for failing to turn over audio recordings of special counsel Robert K. Hur‘s interviews with President Biden over his mishandling of classified documents.

The Republican-led panel cited Mr. Garland with contempt in an 18-15 vote hours after the president sought to shield his attorney general from the charge by asserting executive privilege over the audio tapes, which were recorded by Mr. Hur during his two-day interview with Mr. Biden in October.

Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican, said the president’s last-minute executive privilege assertion underscores the recordings’ “unique perspective” and that the panel seeks to review them to determine whether Mr. Biden received favorable treatment by his Justice Department.

“If our commander in chief is so incompetent that he cannot stand trial and he’s not fit to stand trial, then he’s too incompetent, for God’s sake, to be the leader of the most powerful nation on the face of the earth,” Rep. Jeff Van Drew, New Jersey Republican, said. “If President Biden is competent, and special counsel Hur’s assessment was incorrect, then President Biden should face a jury for his crimes of mishandling classified materials.”

Biden Blocks Release of Special Counsel Interview Audio to House

Thursday, 16 May 2024 08:33 AM EDT

President Joe Biden has asserted executive privilege over audio of his interview with special counsel Robert Hur that's at the center of a Republican effort to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress, the Justice Department told lawmakers Thursday.

It comes as the the House Oversight and Accountability Committee and the Judiciary Committee are each expected to hold a hearing to recommend that the full House refer Garland to the Justice Department for the contempt charges over the department's refusal to hand over the audio.

Garland advised Biden in a letter Thursday that the audio falls within the scope of executive privilege. Garland told the president that the “committee's needs are plainly insufficient to outweigh the deleterious effects that the production of the recordings would have on the integrity and effectiveness of similar law enforcement investigations in the future."

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Wednesday once again waded into the debate about defunding special counsel Jack Smith’s office amid allegations of a political vendetta in his prosecution of former President Donald Trump, with the speaker saying lawmakers are “actively” considering ways to “rein in” the special counsel, including using the Congressional power of the purse.

A day after accusing Mr. Smith of bias in his prosecution of President Trump and vowing to rein him in, Mr. Johnson was asked by a reporter during his weekly press conference on Capitol Hill on May 15 to detail what that effort actually looks like.

“There’s a lot of different ideas,” Mr. Johnson replied. “People are alarmed that the special counsel, in that capacity, has been abused in recent years.”

“How does Congress rein that in? How does Congress correct that error and ensure that a special counsel is not abusing their authority? You know, we have oversight, of course—but we also have the power of the purse,” he continued. “And so there’s a lot of different ideas being discussed right now on what that would look like.”

The U.S. Constitution gives Congress the primary authority to raise and spend money, known as the “power of the purse.” Conservatives have long argued that billions in taxpayer dollars have been channeled to fund left-leaning agendas and that a way to push back on progressive policies is to withhold funding. More recently, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have called for defunding federal agencies that refuse to cooperate with congressional investigations. And now, Mr. Johnson said Republicans are “actively” considering whether some form of defunding Mr. Smith’s office is feasible.

A spokesperson for the special counsel’s office declined to comment on Mr. Johnson’s remarks.

Censorship: A Global Pandemic

John Stossel | May 15, 2024

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

"Palestine will be free!" chant the protesters. "From the river to the sea."

Some says that's a call for genocide -- another holocaust -- elimination of Israel and all Jews.

So, should the chant be illegal?

The House of Representatives just voted to make it illegal at universities. Both Republicans and Democrats voted for the bill.

Canadian politicians go further. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants people "advocating genocide" sentenced to life in prison.

"We're a laboratory of bad ideas," says Canadian Ezra Levant in my new video.

Levant, founder of Rebel News, asks, "Who's going to determine who's going to be prosecuted? A law like that gives a politician the chance to criminalize his peaceful opponent!"

Canadian politicians already do that.
