McEnany: Biden’s speech demonstrated split personality disorder

1. This speech was a gross overstep by the current regime. Dozens, likely more, of whistleblowers have contacted Congress in recent weeks and stimulated AG Garland to issue a public threat against doing so. Sen. Grassley, ever a champion of whistleblower protection, released a public rebuke of Garland’s statement warning :

   “Under your leadership, the Department and FBI have failed to be responsive to congressional oversight requests. Accordingly, it is often only because of whistleblowers that Congress and the American people are apprised of the type of wrongdoing that your memo seeks to protect against,” Mr. Grassley wrote in a letter to Mr. Garland.

   “As you are aware, the Department and FBI have a reputation for retaliating against whistleblowers that provide information to Congress,” he wrote. “Accordingly, I’d like to remind the Department that, as a basic matter of law, all employees of the U.S. Government have a right to petition Congress or furnish information to Congress.”

   This was the lead up to Biden’s dark and repressive speech. It had been billed to be a unifying speech, and in some ways this might have proved accurate, just not in the way in which the current administration will find helpful. In fact, I expect to see many more whistleblowers reach out to Congress directly in response to the tone, tenor and content of this declaration of war against MAGA, which may come to seriously undermine the control they think they wield with impunity. They are powerful, but they are not all powerful, and their resistence to respect this fact is, and has been, their greatest weakness, just as it has played the greatest role in unifying, more and more, the rejection of their legitimacy.

   Whistleblowers to follow.
