I came across this is little story today, it's not breaking news.  I suspect that a member of the housekeeping staff knows something about the bomb threat that required the sweep for weapons.

According to police in Secaucus, the bomb threat — which later was determined to be bogus — was called in to Hudson Regional Hospital on July 18. During a search, bomb detection dogs led investigators to an unlocked office closet containing dozens of firearms.

Among the weapons were 11 handguns and 27 rifles or shotguns, according to police. The closet also contained a .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity magazine that was determined to be an assault rifle, and a 14-round high-capacity handgun magazine.

The arrested the guy the next day. 

What the heck do you think this guy was doing? It sounds very ominous that he was keeping those weapons there.

If he is a wingman, why would Garland continue to investigate  HB? Isn't there some rumor that Biden Sr. somehow profited from his son's dealings? Why would he allow an investigation to continue? That doesn't make any sense. 

Stall and run out the clock

Garland and Biden would say that they don't communicate about matters concerning Hunter Biden. Since you don't have any evidence of that type coordination it sounds like some projection because we actually know that Trump tried to influence and direct the DOJ during Sessions and Barr's terms.  Trump didn't really try to hide it because his ignorance had him believing it was normal and OK. 

"Wingman" for the president...hahaha

What's funny about being a wingman for the President?  Do you have a problem with that?

Every patriot that values our democratic republic should have a problem with that notion. Why don't you have a problem with it?

Does this mean you don't think the investigation is active? Do you have any evidence?

It's likely just projection...Trump is well known for stalling and dragging out court cases. Or maybe she heard it from Tucker.

That's pretty harsh saying someone who doesn't agree with your observation isn't a patriot.

I'm referring specifically to the Congressional investigations.

Wingman implies that the AG acts as an henchman who selectively enforces the wishes of the boss, rather than protecting all citizens.

LOL

That's quite an extrapolation of what I actually said.  Are you intentionally misrepresenting my words or are you unable to comprehend their meaning?  If you really don't understand what my words mean you should just admit that and ask.  Otherwise I'm going to just call you out on the dishonest communication. 

The DOJ doesn't have anything to do with congressional hearings... they are two separate and independent branches of government.

Documents can be requested by Congress from the FBI or on current Federal investigations into Hunter Biden so yes the DOJ and Congress could clash on those requests.

I'm sure they could be the President's wingman and still do the work for the people.

Republicans in the current congress just tried that and their requests were rejected by the DOJ. Didn't Carlson or Fox report on that? Is that the "clash" that you are talking about?

No they can't.  It's a  shame that you don't know or understand why.

I was referring to Congressional requests as a hypothetical possibility about running out the clock.  But it understand about the wingman part it's you libs that don't have a problem with it.

I bet that made sense to you... maybe you could rephrase so that it makes sense to the rest of us. 

There's little little evidence that you understand anything about the DOJ  or Congress.  You could try to post some facts and change my mind.
