00:00:48.460
declaring Biden's proposed climate emergency order to be based on a myth.
00:00:54.180

00:01:54.540
attorneys to testify before a grand jury in D.C.
00:01:59.100
It's also worth noting that President Trump was charged by the Marxist New York D.A. Alvin
00:02:05.100
Bragg on April 4th, just four days after that White House meeting between the so-called
00:02:11.380
Independent Special Counsel and President Biden's legal team.
00:02:19.220
The Special Counsel is as arrogant as the White House, unbelievably so, as they flout law after
00:02:27.200
The corrupt DOJ brazen in its latest stonewalling for Hunter Biden.
00:02:32.600
The Department of Justice telling Chairman Jordan that they will not cooperate with subpoenas
00:02:38.220
for two FBI agents involved in the investigation of Hunter Biden because the Biden inquiry is
00:02:48.180
Attorney General Merrick Garland made the appointment of David Weiss as special counsel in the Hunter

00:03:10.580
This is what the congressman calls the Biden Department of Justice.
00:03:15.120
No shame in their game and the arrogance, I think.
00:03:18.280
You know, that's I think that's what's ultimately going to get them if they do.
00:03:21.460
But we've got to realize we've got a crooked Justice Department that needs to be cleaned up.
00:03:28.040
Everybody wants to pick and choose in this little department.
00:03:31.000
I mean, the whole thing, you need to just start over because of the level of corruption that's
00:03:35.940
there and their ability to just ignore what's going on.
00:03:41.940
Their refusal to punish criminal activity and their ability to, you know, use full force
00:03:50.860
in the federal government against law-abiding citizens.
00:03:53.920
You know, going in the middle of the night, arresting some father protesting at an abortion
00:03:58.920
clinic or something, you know, with full force, with arms drawn and armored vehicles and all
00:04:04.640
And yet they this is just right in front of them.
00:04:06.980
I mean, you know, one of those one of those criminals sent the exact amount for Hunter Biden
00:04:13.700
