House Oversight Chair Comer says Merrick Garland's DOJ has obstructed every Biden investigation

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) says that the Justice Department, led by Attorney General Merrick Garland, has intervened in every investigation and interview the committee has tried to conduct pertaining to the Biden administration. 

"Every interview we've tried to conduct on every major investigation of the Biden administration, whether it was trying to interview border agents to trying to interview FBI agents with respect to the obstructing the Biden investigation – every step of the way, Merrick Garland's Department of Justice has come in and obstructed," Comer said on the Tuesday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. 

On Monday, a former FBI agent confirmed to the Oversight Committee major factors of a whistleblower's testimony regarding alleged political interference by the Biden administration.

According to Comer, the former agent received a letter from the DOJ before the interview, telling him what questions he could and couldn't answer.

"Before he came in for the interview, he received a letter from the Department of Justice," he said. "Thankfully, he's a retired employee. If he'd been a current employee, I have no doubt that they never would have let him come and conduct that transcribed interview."

He also detailed restrictions that the DOJ imposed on the general counsel of the National Archives, when he was interviewed.

"He was told he couldn't answer specific questions," Comer later said. "He was told that he couldn't post on the website, wrongdoing by Joe Biden, but he could post everything in the world on the website about Donald Trump."

He referred to what was happening as a "two-tiered system of justice."  

"This two-tiered system of justice is in full play and they're going after their political opponents, whether it be Donald Trump or myself, and they're turning a blind eye to the obvious corruption involved by the president's family," Comer said.
