Evidence (2024-09-30): I voted "Yes" on H.Res. 1292, a resolution recommending that the House of Representatives find United States Attorney General Merrick B. Garland in contempt of Congress for refusal to comply with a subpoena duly issued by the Committee on the Judiciary. Attorney General (AG) Garland is a dirty cop. President Biden has admitted to mishandling classified documents, yet AG Garland is engaging in a cover-up by refusing to bring charges against President Biden. Now, he is withholding valuable information from the House Judiciary Committee, further shielding President Biden from accountability. This at the same time he is orchestrating a meritless, politically-driven investigation into President Trump. This scheme is a ploy by the Department of Justice to interfere in the 2024 election on behalf of Joe Biden and the Democrats. House Republicans are dedicated to holding corrupt AG Garland accountable and ensuring the Biden Crime Family is thoroughly investigated and charged for their crimes against the American people. H.Res. 1292 passed the House by a vote of 216-207. [...] This resolution passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 260-162. [...] I voted "No" on H.R. 9640, the Presidential Tax Filings and Audit Transparency Act.

This bill passed the House by a vote of 222-201.

Evidence (2023-09-20): They have caused any number of private institutions and companies millions of dollars in legal fees as they struggle to respond to ridiculous and over-broad requests for information and transcribed interviews. They have issued subpoenas for show, without making meaningful attempts to get the information they seek by consent.

They have attempted to discredit investigators who are not hard enough on Donald Trump's political opponents. [...] There are many reasons, Mr. Attorney General, that prosecutors decline to bring charges. One of those reasons is that they don't have any evidence for a conviction. That is the justice way. That is just in America. [...] Trump's appointed prosecutors aren't doing enough of the corruption that Donald Trump wants them to do.

Evidence (2023-01-31): Criminal charges—one would think—would be among the most damaging outcomes. After all, a criminal prosecution of a former president would be a singular event in American history. No former president has ever been indicted, much less convicted. Trump lost any immunity from indictment that he may have possessed as president the moment he left office on Jan. 20. To be sure, most of the criminal probes detailed below are in their infancy, so the odds of an actual conviction at this time remain improbable. Even so, the mere stigma of criminal charges against the former president could reshape the American political landscape and the historical understanding of Trump’s behavior. [...] Update-11: On Jan. 13, 2023, the district court ordered the release of a partial transcript of Trump’s deposition, during which Trump denied the rape allegations. [...] Update-10: Two of the prosecutors working on the Trump case, Carey R. Dunne and Mark F. Pomerantz, resigned from the prosecution when Bragg indicated he had doubts on moving forward with the investigation. The New York Times later reported that Pomerantz stated that Trump was "guilty of numerous felony violations" and that it was "a grave failure of justice" not to prosecute him, according to a copy of Pomerantz’s resignation letter.

Evidence (2024-01-03): Hysterotomy abortion is a surgical procedure that removes an intact fetus from the uterus in a process similar to a cesarean section. The procedure is generally indicated after another method of termination has failed, or when such a procedure would be medically inadvisable, such as in the case of placenta accreta.[1] In 2016, this method made up less than 0.01% of all abortions in the United States, with the CDC reporting only 51 having occurred due to the invasive and complex nature of the procedure, and the availability of much simpler and safer methods.[2] In 2022, scholars reported that in the aftermath of the overturning of Roe v. Wade by Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, Texas and other states where so called trigger laws immediately outlawed or heavily restricted reproductive healthcare, providers began performing hysterotomy abortions again. These providers have done so under the justification that such a procedure may not technically be considered an abortion under existing law.[3] Indications [edit]As with other abortion procedures, the purpose of a hysterotomy abortion is to end a pregnancy by removing the fetus and placenta. This method is the most dangerous of any conventional abortion procedure, and has the highest complication rate.[1] The procedure is specifically indicated in the management of certain medical conditions including Cesarean Scar Pregnancy.[4]
