As Twitchy reported, Attorney General Merrick Garland appeared before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday ready to fight back against attacks and conspiracy theories by members of Congress against the Justice Department.
It seems some crazy Republicans have got it in their heads that President Joe Biden's Justice Department has been weaponized against Biden's opponent, Donald Trump. Special Counsel Jack Smith is overseeing the Trump classified documents case, but Rep. Thomas Massie alleged that Garland created an office that doesn't exist to give Smith his job.

Jack Smith was appointed ILLEGALLY!

It has been unconstitutional from the start.

Cut off the money. Take all of the hollering and screaming and abusive language and threats from the White House. Take all of the propaganda that they can spew. Withstand all of the MSM threats about Democracy. Stand tough and cut off the money.

Just watch Garland's smirk at the end of this questioning. It either means "You figured it out!" or "Yeah, so what are you going to do about it?"

What is going on. I’m sick and tired of Congress not doing anything to these clowns. Something has to be done.

Yes. One of the questions now before the Supreme Court.

Wow! This could be very good. So if Smith isn't an officer for the US government and he admitted he tampered with evidence, sounds like an arrest coming soon.

Nothing's going to happen to Smith, or Garland. At least that's the consensus in the comments. Garland is already under contempt of Congress.
