'Are You Kidding Me?'

“Are you kidding me?” 

Those are four words that no lawyer wants to hear from a judge in a hearing. But that was not the least of it for Justice Department lawyers fighting House subpoenas into the Biden corruption scandal.

U.S. District Court Judge Ana Reyes slammed the DOJ for stonewalling Congress on the subpoenas while imprisoning figures like former Trump adviser Peter Navarro for doing the same thing.

The Biden Administration has blocked the testimony of prosecutors Mark Daly and Jack Morgan, who were involved in an inexplicable decision of the Justice Department to allow major felonies against Hunter Biden to lapse.

Reyes is a Biden-appointed judge, by the way. 

This hypocrisy goes back to Eric Holder, who defied congressional subpoenas and a contempt charge during the fallout from Operation Fast & Furious. The DoJ only takes these seriously when they apply to Republicans, apparently, and Reyes has taken notice of that fact. She pointed out that the DoJ has imprisoned two figures from the Trump administration (the other being Steve Bannon) for doing what the DoJ itself is doing now.
