DOJ Hits Back At Biden, Declares It's Independence
[CONSERVATIVEBRIEF] President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. The guy who lost Afghanistan, aka Biden's Bungle...
’s own Department of Justice just laid the smackdown on him after he urged the January 6 House Select Committee to prosecute those who do not comply with a Congressional subpoena.As he was outside the White House on Friday a CNN
...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for...
news hound asked him if those people, like former White House chief strategist Bannon, should be prosecuted.

"Mr. President, what’s your message to people who defy Congressional subpoenas on the January 6 committee?" the news hound said.

"I hope that the committee goes after them and holds them accountable criminally," he said.

"Should they be prosecuted by the Justice Department?" the news hound pressed.

"I do, yes," the president said.

The Department of Justice was not thrilled with the president’s statement and DOJ spokesperson Anthony Coley made it known that the department will not be told what to do.
*wink wink*
"The Department of Justice will make its own independent decisions in all prosecutions based solely on the facts and the law. Period. Full stop," he said.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki
...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State under Obama. A new American success story, under Biden she became spokeswoman for the whole administration, and she was even able to get her sister a job...
attempted to fix Biden’s message on Twitter.

"As @potus has said many times, January 6th was one of the darkest days in our democracy. He supports the work of the committee and the independent role of the Department of Justice to make any decisions about prosecutions," she said.

#1 From the headline, I was expecting the Bee.

"The Department of Justice will make its own independent decisions in all prosecutions based solely on the facts and the law. Period. Full stop," he said.

Given the recent behavior of the DoJ, that is either savage parody or an incredible lack of self-awareness.

#2 Yeah. They answer to no one. They are part of the deep state. They rule us, not the other way around. The elected government? Don't make them laugh!

For the last 45 years it seems the D.O.J. / FBI
enforces laws according to Economic, political and the power class of the person.

#5 We will arrest you if you don't shot up for a Congressional subpoena... but won't do anything if you lie under oath in front of Congress (at least not if you are of the left).

That would be a pleasant surprise. But I'm not holding my breath.
