Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) went on a tirade against a resolution that would fine and potentially jail Attorney General Merrick Garland. House Republicans issued a subpoena to Garland seeking the audio from a deposition that President Joe Biden sat for with Special Counsel Robert Hur. Hur investigated Biden over his retention of classified documents from his time as a senator and vice president. Ultimately, the special counsel declined to prosecute in part because he said a jury could view Biden as a sympathetic “elderly man with a poor memory.”

Most people are guilty of doing it at least once in their lives, many people do it by accident, some do it because they find it fun, and others do it for reasons like honoring loved ones.
