Garland's Future in Doubt

On Friday we made a generalized derogatory comment about Attorney General Merrick Garland. Since then more details have emerged about him telling Congress the U.S. Attorney looking into Hunter Biden was "independent" and had all the authority he needed to do whatever was indicated. 

Whistleblowers have contradicted that claim in testimony before Congress, saying the prosecutor wanted to indict Hunter for various offenses and was repeatedly told (by AG?) he could not do so.

Another source reports Kevin McCarthy is considering impeachment of the AG if the whistleblower claims can be proven. Being caught out in a lie to Congress is a serious no-no, especially for a Cabinet-level official.
