House votes to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt for defying a subpoena for the recording of the Hur/Biden interview.
DOJ issues a 57 page memo saying Garland can't be prosecuted.
The House has the only explicit constitutional authority to investigate and prosecute (via impeachment) a sitting President. The DOJ is a subordinate of the Executive.
The Executive branch is refusing a subpoena from the Legislative branch. The DOJ has sent Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon to jail for doing precisely what the AG is doing - defying a congressional subpoena.
I thought no one was above the law?
Frankly, were I Speaker, I'd send the House Sergeant at Arms (who is a law enforcement officer and has nationwide jurisdiction) and the Capitol Police (who do not work for the executive), to arrest Garland.
