McCarthy spoke to reporters on Tuesday, floating the claim that Attorney General Merrick Garland lied in saying that David Weiss, the U.S. attorney leading the Hunter Biden investigation, held the authority to make prosecutorial decisions in his district. This comes as IRS whistleblowers have claimed that Weiss tried to bring felony charges against Hunter last year, but was denied by the DOJ.

“There’s a lot of questions here that continue to rise from every time, the more you look it,” McCarthy said. When reporters countered that Garland and Weiss have corroborated each other over the latter’s authority, McCarthy retorted “Weiss has not come before us and talked to us. Weiss wrote a letter that raises even more questions.” …

“Well, he’s gonna have to,” McCarthy said. Asked if that meant he was going to subpoena Weiss, McCarthy said “I think you cannot sit back and hide behind and have an attorney general say one thing, you say something else in private. What do you have to hide?”

[As Wilford Brimley said in “Absence of Malice,” … “Wonderful thing, subpoenas.” That’s where this is going, whether Garland likes it or not. — Ed]
