Every time I hear Garland speak I get more angry.
This guy needs to be held accountable...
It'll never happen unfortunately
@@billymadison4903 There’s an old saying; Never say Never
Granola his hubris is unbearable. He is a prime candidate for face punch and maybe throat punch!!!!
Your anger comes from hearing things you don't want to believe. Because you preffer the lie, and can't explain why.
I got visited by his troops, only cuz I challenged the pharma complex.
Garlands arrogance just blows my mind. He needs to be removed!
Elections have winners and losers. Get used to losing. LMAO
We need to FIRE EVERY Judge and Prosecutor that has been appointed that is letting all these criminals walk free.
Grill Garland silent on Trump and Fox News!
@@beufordsims3513 . No one has got away with more than (the twice impeached) trump has, he is the arch criminal. Everything from tax evasion to coercion, to paying off porn stars with public money. Are we likely to hear you say anything about that ?
I don't support Trump or his allies I was simply saying that they grill Garland but say nothing about what Trump and Fox News were spreading.
We need to let every criminal that they have let go come back and victimize every judge & prosecutor that let them go in the first place!!!
Fire every Democrat judge and prosecutor ...
What a POS. I would say thank God he didn't make it to the supreme court but I think he's doing more damage as AG
Tom Cotton! 🇺🇲🗽🦅
He voted for the omnibus
@@michaeld9682he’s just another RINO
He is a traitor!
In what cosmic universe is this corrupt failure on legs still the attorney general and not in prison ?
God dislikes MAGAs. Take it up with him. LMFAO
Hey it could have been much worse- Obama wanted to make him a supreme court justice!!
@@jandoernte3312 And GOP traitors violated the Constitution to block that. Now, he's BACK. LMAO
Sleepy Joe and his puppet master obummer love him.
@@monty4336 Losers walk. Are you familiar with that term?
Nice job, Mr. Cotton!
I’m sick of watching these people merely getting shamed in these hearings. When will ANY of them ever be held accountable?
Never never never
I know, right? Seriously. For some of these people, the time for shame has come and gone. Now its time for their punishment.
Lead
Arrest Garland for not upholding the LAW in USA!!!!
Impeach Garland for not following the laws and doing his job!!
Yup, just like Bill Barr!
So what laws Mr lawyer
@@notmecancelmenohelp-vy4ee so I dont think you really need to be a lawyer. Interfering with border agents not allowing them to do there job. There unable to go after got aways because they are now pencil pushers . His job is to enforce border security not purposely hender the border patrol. Why would Joe Biden sue Arizona to make them remove there border wall they spent state money putting it up because this administration wants open borders you do that's all your new account has on it you like criminals fentanyl and child sex trafficking obviously you don't want to do anything to stop it
@@notmecancelmenohelp-vy4ee dereliction of duty is enough to impeach garland . Secondly disregarding the stay in Mexico policy that was held up by the Supreme Court should be enough as well . Ignorant muppet
Don't waste the paper - straight to the GALLOWS
for all this EVIL REGIME.
Why is Garland still in this position? This guy is high on power.
How are you doing Lisa 🎉
He's installed by the deep state. Criminals.
Thank you Senator Cotton,
You are the voice for the American People and we are
so grateful 🙏.
God bless your and your family. We shall never forget your courage and
Ability to stand up to the evil
Of this evil,,illegitimate administration.
Too bad he voted for the omnibus bill. So I guess he actually SUPPORTS this administration. He is a fraud.
🔥🔥. Great job Senator Cotton! Bringing the heat!
This AG knows nothing 👀🙈🙉🙊💔😭🇺🇸🙏
This crook needs to be thrown in jail .....intentional dereliction of duty
Maybe if we held our government accountable with prosecution and jail time they'd start doing the right thing!
Senator Cotton makes perfect sense. AG Garland is not able to defend his actions. Facts speak for themselves.
IN REAL NEWS : The education company co-founded by Attorney General Merrick Garland’s son-in-law is facing fresh scrutiny after it was revealed the company supports critical race theory curricula while servicing 23,000 schools in the nation, costing tax payers millions of dollars - while Garland cracks down on opposition to the ideology.
Enough with These Hearings Already!!
We The People Want Justice Served!!
Hold Them All Accountable
They have to be prosecuted by the DOJ, which is currently run by the dishonorable Merrick Garland. Do you understand now?
😀
We The People have heard enough from this Treasonous criminal & his Criminal organization known as the FBI.
Settle down ! Nothing really ever happens, when you think of this as a soap opera that we get to hire the actors every 2-4 years .
It will take bloodshed. This is the truth…. MAY GOD bless America, the home of the free. 🇱🇷
Ted Cruz,Tom Cotton, Josh Hawley and Jim Jordan are my favorite Republicans.
Low standard, you do know cruz put dark money back in politics
I want to clarify; by stating his office uses it's own discretion to determine which cases to prosecute, he's saying his office decides which laws it will follow. How is this legal?
I wish I could just keep saying I don’t know when the boss asks me questions and I keep my job
Garland talking about principles is like Fauci talking about science. He should be facing a long prison sentence.
And yet, It's Donny Douchebag who will get indicted SOON. LMAO
You must be another traitor 😂😂😂😂
All these treasonist senators time garland did his job
You probably don't believe the stories Biden tells about "Popcorn" either. Do as we say not as we do!
James, ignore the reply below, a troll
Your point needs reinforcing
The higher they go the deeper they fall
From the highest legal officer of the Land to the deepest but still humane prison on Guantanamo's Bay.
Cracking voice, ringing of hands and constant blinking. He's not trying to hide anything!
Ok this was as funny of a questioning as it was ruthless, well done Sen. Tom Cotton, a true master at work.
The last 3 years has been destroyed by this man here .
they should let Tom Cotton grill Garland for another 12 hours
Yeah but it would be torture to listen 12 hours to an AG that sounds like he has a tube steak stuck in his throat
@mike nakamura they could of had a. FIELD day with Barr
They should. By that point maybe the truth would come out
You mean Tom Fittin #Judicialwatch
Garland will lie his way thru the whole process. He will literally mess his pants. The man is useless and is clueless. RESIGN YOU DOPE.THANK God he's not on the Supreme Court.
How is this man still employed?
IT'S CALLED TREASON!!! They should be tried IMMEDIATELY and if found guilty. Quite obvious that they are, the PROSCIBED punishment should be applied WITHOUT APPEAL!
Absolutely!!! Look What These Psycho Dems Have Done To Our Country...Out Constitution, Out Freedoms And Liberties...WE WANT PROSECUTIONS!!
Christianity is treason.
How does this man look at himself in the mirror in the morning. Thank God for Tom Cotton.
Enough hearings, I WANT TRIALS NOW!
Trump WILL go on trial soon. Relax. LOL

@@robertwelsh4094 History has already shown those to be a waste of time and taxpayer money.
Hop over trials, take them out the back and finish the job
@@robertwelsh4094 well I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you. They have been trying to change him for many years and nothing has happened. So good luck with that, maybe you should wish that you will win the lottery 😂😂😂😂
I'm so glad Garland didn't get on the Supreme Court. The best thing Mitch McConnell ever did was to hold up this guy's nomination. Oh yeah. 😁👍🇺🇸
Garland not Mayorkas. He is still bitter for not making SC judge and that's why he made no attempt to open a case nor prosecute or protect the Judges from the mob people intimidating and harassing their home and family, denied protection out of spite.
It's Marrick Garland, but I agree.
@@brandonsopinion8904 Noted and edited. Thank you.
@@mcgeesfreedom that dude was wrong - it’s actually Merrick. Agree w your comment, the only good thing Mitch ever did!
OUTRAGEOUS !!!!!! AG Garland needs to be fired
Attorney General NEEDS TO BE IN JAIL FOR TREASON
GREAT JOB Sen. Tom Cotton! Hold that man accountable. Better yet, FIRE him!
Hint: it's not incompetence
It's willfull negligence.
All by design
He's probably connected with his buddy Blinken to the Penn CCP funded Biden center communist cash cow 🤣 infiltration from within
Garland: We're using our discretion to decide which laws we're enforcing -- WOW!!!!
“You can’t handle the truth!”
Australia here.
I'm a bit confused.
Is Garland the attorney general for the Mexican Cartels?
Hmm. Ok your question has merrit. Another rabbit hole?
😪😪😪😪😪😪 it's possible
that he might be acquainted with their boss
Won't answer the question thanks Mr cotton great 👍 job well done 👏
All we hear is talk. Arrest and charge that lying evil criminal piece of shit with treason, lying and letting the treasonous Dems lie and steal, murder, destroy America and pervert our kids into sick transperversin, Homo evilness and denying our Lord God and savior Jesus H Christ
Because Cotton wouldn't shut up long enough for an answer.
Now you can see the Reps wisdom in saving him from a disgrace in a 'vote' (with a Rep majority at that time). Very smart to keep this slimb*tch off the SC.
Garland is the physical embodiment of the saying "weak men create hard times".
I still scratch my head ! What are the purposes for all these hearings if they don’t have consequences????
That man is a "dork." Tom Cotton makes a meal out of him.
They are slicing off boy's penises, now we know how the sausage is made.
Like Benghazi, Republican theatrics will come to nothing and will blow up in their faces. They are ensuring a second Biden Presidency.
Now you can see the Reps wisdom in saving him from a disgrace in a 'vote' (with a Rep majority at that time). Very smart to keep this slimb*tch off the SC.
@@dutchreagan3676 I couldn't agree more !
@@michaelcortez1531 What planet are you living on? Answer : Uranus.
Glad to see this questioning! About time!
❤God bless Tom Cotton
So he’s basically stating that Baltimore, New Orleans, St Louis, etc. don’t have a gang problem? Wow.
No why let gang criminals from other countries come here and make it worse is his point!
@@Crimsonjewel1I’m talking about Garland. He’s telling Sen. Cotton that people “targeted by gangs” can seek asylum. When Cotton asks if people from the above mentioned cities should seek asylum then, Garland says no, because it’s not the same.
So clearly Garland seems to think New Orleans, Baltimore, etc. don’t have a gang problem like Honduras or Colombia. Even though those cities are more dangerous than those countries
@@YokedYoda Would you really feel safer being chased by a gang in Honduras than you would here?
@@christopherflorez6592I would rather visit Honduras than visit Baltimore, New Orleans, or St. Louis.
Love Tom Cotton!! Keep up the great fight!! 🙏zGod bless you!! 🇺🇸
Garland doesn't do his job he is the biggest coward i ever seen in a AG
Keep pounding on him, Tom!! Garland is a criminal and he needs to be held accountable!!!
Doubletalk by Garland
Garland doesn't know anything about anything, yet somehow he's the AG. Amazin!
Incompetent.
Agree….and don’t forget Obama wanted him as a Supreme Court Justice! 😮
Supreme court... Hell no.
well take a look at what we have as president...
He knows "umm"
Why isn't someone refusing to answer questions arrested for obstruction of justice, perjury by omission and contempt of court?
Garland should resign. But, sadly, he reflects the attitude of Biden. They do not want to enforce the border.
This man finally getting blasted for opening up the borders for new voting blocks
I hope Merrick Garland is payed well because he's being ROASTED on a daily basis for all the bad decisions he's made...
Senators Cotton and Hawley are American gems. I hope either of them run for president someday. They make me proud to be an Arkansan, and American for that matter.
If ‘withered’ made a sound, it would be Merrick Garland’s voice.
Baaahahahahahaa
I like the terms Anemic,Putrid,Vermin...
😆 🤣 😂 touche!!
He uses his poor little old man shaky voice as a tool
I love watching Garland squirm.
Put Garland in prison forever for treason.
Cotton just sent Garland to Insane Asylum.
I was born outside of the United States only been here 12 years but it's mind boggling how anyone could vote Democrat
It is very easy.
@@michaelcortez1531 Yeah, you don't even have to use your brain at all. 😂 A real no brainer.
They haven't lived overseas and dealt with the horrors of socialism themselves. They like Che posters and...and... and that's about all of their college life-experience. Communism SUCKS!
Well welcome to America ..the people who dont appreciate what they have and are afraid to achieve themselves love big daddy government so they vote democrat thinking they get more free shit ...30 percent of them are brain dead enough to say the country is better off now than under trump .
Welcome to our country! We need your help in trying to fix what is wrong.
Kudos to Sen. Cotton for doing his job perfectly as opposed to Garland's lack of any responsibility of resemblance of doing what is his job duties. It is sickening to watch people just destroy without remorse.
What specifically are you babbling about?
Except that he signed the Omnibus Bill.
Babble and whine. It's all MAGAs can do.
put him in prison
Just put him in PRISON NOW!! LIAR!!
Makes me ponder how much "kick back" some individuals are getting from the cartels.
Short answer. More than you’ll ever even dream of.
'Some'? I bet half of Washington, at least.
Thank you Senator Cotton. IMHO Mr Garland is inept in his current position and needs to resign.
Garland needs to "fish or cut bait" on a number of issues. There actually is, however, something called "judicial discretion". Republicans hate the choices made when Democrats are in control and vise versa.
Wasn't Cotton that fucking shit stain that voted for the trillion dollar omnibus? You republicans already forgive him?
Lock him up asap for hurting America 🇺🇸 jail time should be on the table now. America stand strong for the truth.
And all this non prosecuting is costing is million if not billions.
Stellar job Senator.
It is astounding what Attorney General Garland does not know all pertaining to his work.
Ms. Stawarz, I beg to disagree. Garland and his cronies in this regime are not dumb or uniformed by any means just leftist radicals. Except for non compus mentus Biden perhaps.They know full well what's going on. They choose not to tell what they know. This is all by design, remember Obama's statement about "Fundamentally Changing America".
Pretending ignorance! But he s tha One.. 😁
“The part about protection from gang violence isn’t about violence, but the threat of violence.”
You’ve got to be joking me
Send a message and give him jail time for helping to destroy our country.
Merrick Garland is the worst AG in American history.
Yup just like O'Biden being the worst ever to sit in the Whitehouse.
He looks rotten and he acts rotten. Then again, no surprise since he was put in place by the corrupt Biden.
@@jeffkok9170 yup i absolutely agree 100%
This is just par for the course with this entire administration. They're the absolute worst!
Expect him to be AG until at least 2028.
Thank you mr Cotton and mr Jim Jordon for ALL you do keep it up. Someone has to stand firm for us and it is appreciated
Cannot run from the truth
A bitter man who was given this position to seek vengeance against supporters of those who denied him the Supreme court seat
Merrick Garland strikes me as a man who wants to vent his spleen against a country that refused to put him on the Supreme Court. I have seen bitter men in my time but he is right up there with the bitterest. To paraphrase the Bard of Avon, "Hell hath no fury like a federal judge's scorn."
Bing bing bing ...we got a winner... thats exactly what he is doing ..the fact this weasel was nominated is sickening
Well said, and right on point..
@@michaellovetere8033 Thanks, Mr. Lovetere.
He was also crying when he was making his statement on not being appointed to Supreme court
Imagine the damage Merritt Garland would have done in a Supreme Court position 😳
Let's see what's the punishment for treason ??
Is it even punished these days?
"45" hasn't been charged with that ... yet.
Growing up, I heard a term used that describes Merrick Garland's testimony to an exact "T"!! The term is "mealy-mouthed"!!
This is our attorney general. Why doesn't he protect law abiding citizen
If anything is overcrowded, it's the streets with criminal's! DO YOUR JOB, and hire judges and prosecutors that will hold people accountable!
First who complains too much money is being spent, then you want to send more.. a true republican
@@notmecancelmenohelp-vy4ee lol says the man who supports our current admin blowing trillions....
#10%tothebigguy
Thank goodness crime is down significantly sin e we elected Joe Biden! That Trump guy wasn't doing a thing to take a bite out of crime. Too busy golfing I suppose
@why not lol ignoring 100k ppl dying every year from fentanyl pouring across the border all because your dumb enough to think these god loving anti abortion people will vote for your silly party..typical liberal ..
@@dmeauxoxo not as much as Trump, he spent almost double the amount of any president. You should learn some facts.
Garlands son in law should be invested next. Relentlessly
Invested?
Garlands son in law is pushing the CRT agenda in schools and making lots of $$$, and parents upset at school meetings demanding CRT to be taken out would affect if not stop Garlands family's source $$ of piggy bank. So to stop and prevent these parents complaining about CRT agenda, Garland directed the federal govt in a memo to go after these parents as if they were violent domestic terrorist. This is corruption to the fullest and conflict of interest done so to protect family related interests. He needs to go.
There are too many politicians that need to be investigated -- both parties -- to waste time investigating unimportant relatives who are not government employees. Ther was, however, a reason the Saudis invested billions in the Kuschner business and Ivanka got her trademark applications expedited by China... and they DID both work in the White House.
@@suezbell1 Still suffering from TDS? I think we'll investigate Garlands pervo CRT pushing son, then toss him in jail with pevo Biden Jr
Hold him responsible for violating the Oath he took
Remember .... this person is the same person that SCHUMMER wanted to be on SUPREME COURT ....
In other words, "I live in an ivory tower with 24 hour armed security and I will NEVER be affected by any of this".
A threat of violence is worse than actual violence.
Wow
Man gives me the creeps
Running away from crime is not a reason for political asylum. If the U.S. is open for all people in the world who are victims of crime, that’s billions of people. This is ludicrous.
Especially running to where in many cases the crime is higher in usa cities 😆 it's a strawman argument meant to cover up true intentions for mass migration into the USA by design 🇺🇸
Exactly , we cannot solve the problems of the rest of the world , we already have too many problems without importing more crime.
I've been waiting for this!!
Wow! Talk about flaunting what he's doing right back at Congress.
I used to go to New Orleans 10-18 times a year. It's not the violence that keeps me away. It's the random, unprovoked violence that coincided with the bail reform movement that keeps me away.
Lyle, what's the difference between unprovoked and international violence?
@@karenwise4176 International is outside the USA, I believe.
@karenwise4176 the violence was isolated in the Lafitte, Melpomene, Calliope, Magnolia, St. Thomas, St. Bernard, Iberville, Florida, Desire, Fischer Projects, parts of the 7th Ward and the Lower 9th Ward. Even in 1994, if you didn't go off the beaten path, common sense street smarts kept you pretty safe.
Send him to New Orleans
@@tammibonjour9851 That's a horrible punishment. I like it!
An to think this guy could have been a justice OF THE SUPREME COURT make me shiver.
Not a Garland fan but, sadly, we ended up with corrupt-capitalist theocrats for SCOTUS Justices who, instead of Democracy, seem intent upon creating a government for our Republic that is an oligarch controlled fascist feudal theocracy of the hypocrite flavor.
Take the prosecution power to decides the case away!
Thank You Sir for continuing to FIGHT FOR US ALL! ❤️🇱🇷🌎
Purge all honest Americans from the "Justice" department, then use the "Justice" department against all honest American citizens. And here we are.
When you have a dual Israeli American citizen as AG like (((garland))) . He is a Marxist who is trying his best to turn this country upside down and allow it to be pilfered and destroyed from within while ushering in Bolshevism
You know that local police are generally the most corrupt, right?
well said
WTF are u on abt?
I would add all departments across the board.
So he doesn't want to prosecute because some people complained they might get too busy
This is literally how prosecutorial discretion works. It's how we get plea deals. Neither our courts nor our prosecutors can handle bringing every case.
@@timmattle4730 I was replying to explain that "getting too busy" falls squarely under the umbrella of prosecutorial discretion -- nothing to do with the policy change.
To your point, discretion is "the freedom to decide what should be done in a particular situation." The prosecutor (AG) is exercising discretion. You can argue that it's an abuse of discretion, or unfair or whatever, but it's by definition an exercise of prosecutorial discretion.
@@timmattle4730 Consider brushing up on your legal vocab. You're confusing yourself, which somehow inspires you to continue replying to me.
1) This is about federal memos about federal laws sent out by the (single) US Attorney General. No other AGs are involved.
2) Prosecutors are part of the executive branch. They have no control over the "court system," which falls under the judicial branch.
3) The exercise of prosecutorial "discretion" has been "policy driven" since its inception.
Thank u T.C. for some great questions
Spot on awesome vid👍👍
Bro this was amazing! Attacking with stats is how you win; no emotion, just logic.
Working very hard but failing miserably. Why does that seem like incompetence?
the real reason they allow these people to come in is that they are going to replace you on your job and they are going to get free everything and they are going to vote for the party that gives them free everything....
They are making this a 3rd world country. Once Whites aren't the majority its all over.
Middle age times coming.
It would be hysterical if they all voted Republican!
yep! All the jobs not filled by robots or AI will go to illegals. Its already happening at McDonald's, some speak broken English. Plus they work for much less ass their standard if living is different.
What are you talking about? Oh never mind.
And since they have been in a third world hellhole all their lives they won't want too much from the politicians here, since its much better than where they came from, as bad as some areas here have gotten.
GARLAND NEEDS TO GO!!!!
...the local COUNTRY is unable to protect them? ...
Garland is a politician not a legislator protecting Americans. What does homeland security mean now?
Means you're on your own. Keep paying us for nothing
What did HS mean in the first place?
@@OriginalPiece17 sounds all cutesy and comforting. When in reality it means community control!
