Impeachment proceedings should be started immediately against Attorney General Merrick Garland for manipulating the justice system and obstruction of justice, based on the evidence that whistleblowers have brought to House committees, Rep. Claudia Tenney told Newsmax on Wednesday.
The New York Republican spoke with "Wake Up America" after two House committees earlier this week subpoenaed IRS investigators and Biden administration Department of Justice officials present at or with direct knowledge of a meeting in 2022 in which U.S. attorney for Delaware David Weiss allegedly claimed he was prevented from bringing charges against Hunter Biden for tax crimes.
This contrasts to what Garland had earlier told committees, ensuring them that Weiss had all the authority he needed to bring whatever charges he deemed necessary against Hunter Biden.
Tenney, who is a member of the House Committee on Ways and Means, one of those that issued the subpoenas, said that "it looks like what is happening to Donald Trump on the other side is malicious prosecution, coming out of the same Department of Justice, the same attorney general."
She said that Garland is "a dirty cop, and he needs to go," emphasizing that "it doesn't get dirtier than this."
Tenney added that Weiss should not be the special consul for the Hunter Biden cases, as he apparently lied to the committee, and it is clear that he is aiding and abetting the Biden administration by trying to show favor to Hunter in his legal cases.
The congresswoman also said that "I think impeachment should be on the table for Joe Biden ... we are circling around the evidence, and we're dotting the I's and crossing the T's."
When asked who in the administration should be impeached, Tenney stressed that "Merrick Garland has to go, he is obstructing justice, potentially Weiss needs to be removed. Yes, Joe Biden ultimately for influence peddling, bribery and all the schemes in which he is using his son to enrich himself."
