House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Monday morning that he will begin impeachment proceedings against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland by July 6 over his IRS whistleblower testimony.
Mark Lytle, an attorney for IRS whistleblower Gary Shapely, appeared on Fox News to discuss the DOJ’s love deal that was extended to Hunter Biden.
Lytle told Fox News host Martha MacCallum that U.S. attorney David Weiss, the Trump-appointed Delaware prosecutor assigned to Hunter Biden’s case, said he was not authorized to press charges against Hunter Biden.
Whistleblower Gary Shapely said David Weiss told him this during one of his face-to-face meetings with the US attorney.
“United States Attorney Weiss was present at the meeting. He surprised us by telling us about the charges, quote: ‘I am not the deciding official on whether or not to press charges’.
However, US Attorney General Merrick Garland has maintained that David Weiss had full authority to press charges against Hunter Biden.
Garland said under oath that Weiss had full authority to sue Hunter Biden.
Weiss said he tried to go to the US Attorney’s office in DC and they wouldn’t approve it. And he tried to sue elsewhere in California — and he tried to seek the authority of special counsel and that was denied, so this was a shock to the officers present,” Mark Lytle told Fox News.
Biden’s corrupt Justice Department ultimately charged Hunter Biden with two counts of tax-related misdemeanors.
The gun charge was treated as a diversionary charge, meaning Hunters may not even be guilty of the charge.

We need to get to the facts, and that includes reconciling these obvious differences. U.S. attorney David Weiss must provide answers to the House Judiciary Committee.

Appearing on Fox & Friends, McCarthy said House Republicans will launch an impeachment inquiry into Merrick Garland.
“By July 6, because of the allegations from the IRS, because of the whistleblowers and the DOJ – Garland, what he says and what David Weiss says in private are two different things, and if it comes out what the IRS whistleblowers are saying, we’re going to have a launch an impeachment inquiry against the Attorney General,” McCarthy said.
