Chairman Jim Jordan expressed concern over the justice in the investigation of Hunter Biden.
Four and a half years the Department of Justice has been investigating Mr. Biden, an investigation run by David Weiss.
An investigation that limited the number of witnesses agents could interview.
An investigation that prohibited agents from referring to the president as the quote big guy in any of the interviews they did get to do.
He accused the Department of Justice of protecting Hunter Biden, but attacking the former president, Donald Trump.
Look at the classified documents case.
Spring and early summer of last year, the Department of Justice asked President Trump to turn over boxes of documents.
He does just that.
In the process, President Trump finds 38 additional documents.
He tells the Department of Justice, the very next day the FBI comes to his home and he turns them over.
Everything they asked him to do, he did.
And then what's the Justice Department do?
August 8th, last year, they raided President Trump's home.
Other Republican lawmakers had similar questions.
They see the DOJ, of course, aggressively prosecuting President Biden's chief political rival, Mr. Trump.
While at the same time, they see slow walking and special treatment given to the president's son.
Why has the Justice Department dragged this investigation out for so long?
Mr. Weiss was a long time career prosecutor. President Trump appointed him as...
Is that standard procedure? Should it take that long to make such a simple determination?
Garland claimed that one of Trump's appointed Justice Ministers, David Weiss, had full authority to investigate Hunter Biden.
And that he hadn't questioned Weiss about how it was done.
At the same time, Democratic lawmakers say the following.
Mr. Jordan, who has evaded the subpoena for 500 days, has the nerve to have this committee hearing...
...whose sole purpose is to defend Donald Trump and to cast aspersions on the investigation of Donald Trump by the Justice Department.
Congress leader Jeff Van Drew noticed that Ombud is investigating Catholic churches.
The idea that someone with my family background would discriminate against any religion is so outrageous, so absurd...
Mr. Attorney General, it was your FBI that did this.
Some Democratic lawmakers applauded Garland and the U.S. Justice Department.
Well, there is no doubt that the Department of Justice under General Garland has the ultimate of integrity.
There is no political bias or bias toward anyone because of their power or their wealth.
At the end of the day, if you hear him very carefully, what he's saying is nobody in this country is above the law.
