    Garland needs to go to prison that’s where traitors belong…!
  • Talk, talk talk… Useless! Jail time needs to be a genuine result for people breaking the law

    Congress, quit being feckless and DO SOMETHING. Hold him accountable.
  • That passionate speech would be more effective if House members in the background were not cracking jokes and laughing.
  • 10,000 Dollar fine sounds good to me...Garland is a Wicked Man...

    If congress doesn't do there job vote them out. We the people have had enough

    It is amazing how brave the attorney general is clearly used in a major cover-up and isn’t worried but should be held in contempt of contest and released of his studies. American people are sick of this clown show it has to stop.
  • @debbieyates29
    Yeah, & congress & the senate have thumbed their finger to American citizens by allowing this disrespect to continue without accountability. Either do your job or shut the hell up.

    Garland should be in prison for his dereliction of duty in addition to being fined and his salary abolished.
