McCarthy questions DOJ response to Biden classified documents problem

"Congress has an independent constitutional obligation to oversee all aspects of the Justice Department, and that includes special counsels as well. And so we will have a role in overseeing what's transpiring here. What's real concerning to me is how justice is applied and is it applied equally," McCarthy told host Maria Bartiromo.

"How many years has this vice president, who's been in [public] office for more than 40 years, had these documents? Who's been in and out of there?" the speaker continued. "So, they apply a special counsel, but how many agents do they apply to that and applied to [former] President [Donald] Trump as well? This is just hypocrisy."

CONSERVATIVES BLAST BIDEN OVER LATEST BATCH OF CLASSIFIED INFORMATION FOUND: ‘FBI RAID HAPPENS WHEN?’

Under immense scrutiny from Republicans, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel Thursday to investigate the now-found classified materials, which Biden claims were "inadvertently misplaced." The GOP has also raised suspicions on the post-midterm election discovery of Biden’s documents after the FBI raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in August.

"I'm tired of this Justice Department that we found that went after parents and others, that they utilize it to go after people because they have different political beliefs. That is what's wrong with government," McCarthy said Sunday. "And this is a prime example of why we passed this week a new select committee that will fall under Jim Jordan's Committee for the Weaponization of Government, that we can look into what the FBI has been doing from Twitter and everywhere else and change the course where we can now trust our law enforcement."

Garland tapped Robert Hur, a former U.S. attorney, to lead the Biden investigation. But McCarthy echoed similar warnings from former colleague Devin Nunes, who claimed Hur should be questioned on his "ties to the Russia hoax."

"Why is it every time there's an investigation of a Republican, they're always tied together in a small little loop? Couldn't we have an independent person in the FBI that has no ties to anything to investigate something? Why is it always from a small protected group of friends [that] are the only ones that they put in to have [as] counsel?" the speaker said.

"We will get to the bottom of this no matter how long it takes us and how hard we have to fight," he continued. "There's one thing I think, I hope the American public realized from watching the race for speaker: I will never give up. That means I will never give up on you on getting the truth."

The DOJ has been politicized under the Biden administration as has the FBI.  McCarthy is right to be critical of their actions.  Why would Garland think it is a good idea to select a special counsel with ties to the Russian collusion hoax?
