DC judge points out pervasive hypocrisy hell that’s permeating every corner of the federal government

[Geee]

Hypocrisy is Washington, DC’s lifeblood, so it was a nice change when DC Judge Ana Reyes lambasted the Justice Department for instructing two lawyers in its Tax Division to disregard a congressional subpoena in the Hunter Biden investigation, all while it has been zealously prosecuting Trump officials for the very same offense. 

Peter Navarro, a former Trump trade adviser, is sitting in jail for defying a subpoena from Nancy Pelosi’s star chamber, the January 6 Committee. 

“There’s a person in jail right now because you all brought a criminal lawsuit against him because he did not appear for a House subpoena,” Reyes said, referring to Navarro.

“And now you guys are flouting those subpoenas . . . I think it’s quite rich you guys pursue criminal investigations and put people in jail for not showing up.” 

It’s about time someone in authority called out the hypocrisy and egregious double standard permeating every corner of the federal government, and if even a Biden-appointed judge like Reyes can see the problem, you know we’ve reached a tipping point. 

 

It’s a crowded field but one of the worst forked tongues in the Biden administration is IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel. 

He professes to Congress that he protects whistleblowers, but in practice he has hung Gary Shapley and Joe Ziegler out to dry. :snip:
