The sooner the squelch, the better.
Remember - We pay them for their wretched excesses.

Worse – The last item links to the letter – https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Criminal-Referral-6.5.24.pdf
That letter was sent jointly to AG Garland AND (limited) Special Counsel Weiss.
While there is zero likelihood of it happening, in my ideal world Garland's response would be:
This chickenshit is insufferable. Rope's been paid out and you've hung yourselves.
I run my department and find no merit in your accusations, hence I shall waste no resources upon your referrals. That is within my discretion.
Furthermore, I shall recommend to the President that he issue an immediate pardon to both of these gentlemen you besmirch, in order to disarm your mischief.
Your Constitutional remedy is to impeach me if you choose, and if the President follows my recommendation you can impeach him too.
Go for it. You don't have the votes in the Senate and you damned well know that.
Also, you can bleat and keen to the press. You're good at that. Experienced.
Again, DC is NOT my ideal world, and there will likely instead be dancing displays as with competing male birds with one receptive hen present. It sucks, but it is DC.
