Flotsam and Jetsam - House Holds Garland in Contempt, Nancy Accepts Blame for J6

Fox, House votes to hold Garland in contempt, refer him for criminal charges at own DOJ "Republicans went after Garland for not handing over the Hur-Biden audio tapes", to be prosecuted by Garland's DOJ. Nicholas Ballasay at JTN, GOP-led House votes to pass resolution holding Garland in contempt of Congress "The vote to advance the measure earlier in the day was 208-207 and the final vote was 216–207 to pass the resolution." NYPo, House Republicans hold AG Garland in contempt over Biden classified docs probe recordings. VodkaPundit at Insty, I HOPE THIS IS CLEAR ENOUGH: NOGarland Demands an End to ‘Attacks’ on the DOJ. Ace, John Solomon: The FBI Has Imposed a Political Test for Security Clearances -- Supporting Donald Trump or Questioning the Covid Vaccines Makes You a Threat to the National Security of the United States "James Comey was a former communist. So was John Brennan at the CIA. Some say they still are."

John Davidson at Da Fed says Unequal Application Of The Law In America Today Isn’t Hypocrisy, It’s Hierarchy "Institutional power in America today is concentrated on the left. They want you to know it and act accordingly." From Da Signal, House Democrats Create Task Force to Attack Conservative Plan to Defang Deep State

From Da Blaze, Nancy Pelosi panics when new Jan. 6 footage shows her make damning admission about Capitol security: 'Directly contradicts' Larry at Hat Hair says Let’s Talk About That Leaked Jan 6 Tape Featuring Nancy Pelosi. 'Becca Downs at Town Hall hears Turley Weigh in on How Pelosi's Admissions Highlight Credibility Issues of J6 CommitteeJonathan Turley@JonathanTurley "...Had Pelosi and other accepted National Guard support and installed fencing as was done at the White House, it is doubtful that the riot on January 6th would have occurred or any disruption would have been far more limited in scope." Jack Cashill at Front Page explains how How Hunter Biden’s Laptop Helped Trigger January 6 "And how the real criminals are still walking around freely."

 Virginia Kruta at Da Wire, Press Sec Won’t Say Whether President Will Consider Commuting Hunter’s Sentence. Hat Hair's Capt. Ed comments "If Hunter gets prison time, Biden will commute the sentence ... on November 6th. Bank on it. He will explain that "I love my son," and that commutation doesn't touch the jury's verdict. The problem for Biden is that he might have to do it again in the tax-evasion trial Hunter faces soon." Althouse cites NYT, "The president declared flatly last week that he would not pardon his son if convicted, but did not address a commutation..." "... which would leave the guilty verdict intact but wipe out some or all of the punishment. Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, told reporters on Wednesday that she could not say whether the president might consider such an action. 'He was very clear, very upfront, obviously very definitive' in ruling out a pardon.... But as for a commutation, she added, 'I just don’t have anything beyond that.'" Da Wire again, Hunter Biden And His Legal Team Respond To Felony Convictions “We respect the jury process, and as we have done throughout this case, we will continue to vigorously pursue all the legal challenges available to Hunter. Through all he has been through in his recovery, including this trial, Hunter has felt grateful for and blessed by the love and support of his family.” Jonathan Turley wonders Did the Defense Make Prison More Likely for Hunter Under the Sentencing Guidelines? "By pursuing the nullification strategy, Hunter lost that benefit (of a guilty plea) and now would have to belatedly accept responsibility just before sentencing after putting the court and public through a trial." Capt. Ed says "I suspect the judge in this case will be mindful of ensuring the appearance of fairness in sentencing, but there's usually a cost for forcing prosecutors to trial in a case this obvious. The time to avoid prison is before trial when the evidence is this strong. I wonder, though, whether the judge will consider and cite potential safety/security issues and use home confinement as an option instead." At Breitbart, Hunter Biden Gun Trial Verdict Will Be Used as Distraction from Biden Corruption. Dave Harsanyi at Da Fed says much the same The Martyring Of Hunter Biden Is A Distraction.  Mike Miller at RedState, Are Convicted Felon Hunter Biden's Legal Woes About to Get 'Much More Serious'? Jonathan Turley Says Yes. "His counsel has got to refocus on that tax case, they are going into that case now with a convicted felon. Now, these are very different types of claims, but there is a third front developing. Congress just referred what I consider to be a very strong case for a perjury investigation of Hunter Biden after his testimony before Congress." Jim Treacher, Hunter Biden Is Just Full of Surprises "And, of course, drugs . . . And unlike Donald Trump’s felony conviction, you can actually explain to people in 25 words or less what Hunter did wrong." From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 06.12.24 (Evening Edition), EBL: Felon Biden. Hat Hair reads Politico Playbook, Will Hunter's Felony Conviction Stop Biden From His Attack Line on Trump? 

At Fox, Biden reportedly blames re-election bid for Hunter's conviction: 'He would have gotten the plea deal'. Probably true. But if they hadn't been pursuing the lawfare strategy against Trump, the it's likely the public wouldn't have been as incensed.

Miranda Devine Shreds NY Times for Clinging to Hunter Biden Laptop Denial. Miranda Devine@mirandadevine, "Here I was, thinking the @nytimes had recanted their laptop denial: "Hunter Biden’s Laptop, Revealed by New York Post, Comes Back to Haunt Him." But then came the sub-head: "Many claims about the laptop’s contents have not been proved, but it played a role in the prosecution of Mr. Biden over a firearm purchase." Have not been proved. Played a role. Cope. John Sexton, The Media Struggles to Accept They Got the Hunter Biden Laptop Wrong. Nick Arama at RedState reports Rep. Burchett Demands Investigation of Hunter Intel Letter, Then Destroys Dem 'Operative' in Laugh of Day. At PM, Trump calls Hunter trial 'distraction from the real crimes of the Biden Crime Family', Dave Strom at Hat Hair notices POLITICO Hints at the Obvious: The Biden Crime Family Is a Real Thing. POLITICO@politico "Joe Biden insists he's not involved in his family's business dealings. His aides are a different story. Many of Biden's closest staffers and advisers have doubled as his relatives’ business associates — both during and after their time working for him."

Michael Goodwin at NYPo says Joe Biden and the left must know better than to deal with the devil known as Hamas. Hat Hair cites the WSJ in Biden's Gaza Pier Plan Every Bit as Bad as You Imagined. Capt. Ed, "As Duane and David have both written before, this perfectly encapsulates Joe Biden's intellect and strategic capacity. He came up with a half-assed tactic out of spite toward the Israelis and committed to it without adequate research. Rather than admit his error, he put American troops in danger to force the solution, only to see it washed away almost immediately by reality. He then pretended that he could override reality, and his plan collapsed again. In the end, he wasted a Solyndra of money only to end up where we started ... in Ashdod working with the Israelis rather than grandstanding an attempt to work around them." Matt Vespa at TownHall thinks This Reporter Had the Perfect Response to the Leftist Lunacy Over Israel’s Hostage Raid

VodkaPundit at PJM, Bidenflation Sucks Slightly Less Than Expected, Left Dons Party Hats. Ace, Inflation Rises by 3.3% in May Compared to the Previous May, Bringing the Cumulative Total Inflation to Almost 20% Since Biden Was Elected "It was 9% when I was elected, Jack! My Puerto Rican/Jewish abuela Roger Staubach told me after I served my third tour in Iraq." Althouse finds"Something is wrecking Joe Biden, but it isn’t the economy—at least the economy that economists know how to measure—and it isn’t inflation...." "Writes Zacahry D.

538, Who Is Favored To Win The 2024 Presidential Election? "538 uses polling, economic and demographic data to explore likely election outcomes. Biden wins 53 times out of 100 in oursimulations of the 2024 presidential election. Trump wins 47 times out of 100. There is a less than 1-in-100 chance of no Electoral College winner." But Matt Margolis claims There’s Something Fishy About FiveThirtyEight’s Election Projection Model. Paul Bedard at WaEx, reports Trump odds of winning hit new high, 19 points over Biden.

Ned Ryun at Am Great has An Urgent Call to Action for the 2024 Elections "We cannot afford to be complacent. The left is not going to hand us this election or even allow for a fair process to unfold.
