No Pardon for Mayorkas Or Garland?

Now, this is interesting: there is no word that Alejandro Mayorkas or Merrick Garland were granted preemptive pardons.

No doubt Garland has some vulnerabilities, but I doubt that he would be high on the list of people who would be targeted for investigations. And as a high-powered lawyer who just ran the Justice Department that would prosecute him, he would likely be treated with kid gloves. 

He is genuinely evil.

But Mayorkas? That man has skeletons and even still-rotting bodies in his closet, and as far as I can tell, Biden has given him no legal cover. He has committed perjury many times before Congress, has been in charge of FEMA and the Secret Service during times of great failure, and opened the borders to all comers, including cartel members, human traffickers, and even terrorists. 

The man has a lot of blood on his hands, and not all of it is due to incompetence. 

Dear Alejandro Mayorkas:

No pardons for you and your staff? https://t.co/pDVXMr92lv

Of course, there could be many reasons for Mayorkas’ omission from the list, ranging from a simple refusal of an offer by Biden’s minions to confidence that he has enough dirt on others that he can skate. What I don’t believe is that Mayorkas is clean as the driven snow and as innocent as a baby just out of the womb. 

Generally speaking, most government failures can be explained by simple incompetence, but Mayorkas’ record of failure is too long and too filled with unforgivable and inexplicable acts for them to be attributable solely to incompetence. We know that FEMA had a policy of skipping over Trump supporters while providing aid, that Mayorkas lied repeatedly to Congress about the border being secure, 

Texas should charge Alejandro Mayorkas with human trafficking by next week at the latest. Let’s do this.

I have, many times, asserted that I believe Mayorkas’ failures were due to malfeasance and not mere misfeasance. In other words, he is evil, not incompetent. 

There are few Biden appointees about whom I feel this, including ones whom I think did terrible jobs. Antony Blinken, for instance, I believe did what he believed to be right. Pete Buttigieg is Alfred E. Newman, not Blowfelt. 

But Mayorkas is a special case. He knew what he was doing, planned to do it, and is pleased by the results. Garland is in that category as well, although I don’t think his motivations were evil but rather driven by revenge. 

Mayorkas is now backpedaling trying to distance himself from his own policies, but I don’t buy it for a second. Mayorkas has been an open borders guy since Obama. 

Ah, okay, Mayorkas.

Homan has it right on this.

🔥NEW: Tom Homan wrecks Mayorkas for saying he needed more time to secure the border:

“He inherited the most secure border in my lifetime. He just had to sit there and do nothing.”

“He’s systematically destroyed that border. They knew exactly what they were doing when they… pic.twitter.com/DDeuWJbfrL

I want Mayorkas dragged before Congress, grilled, and prosecuted for at the very least perjury.
