Elie Mystal Flips Out at Biden DOJ For Jumping to Investigate Cori Bush — But Not Jan 6 ‘Co-Conspirator Congress’

Elie Mystal flipped out on Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland to SiriusXM host Dean Obeidallah over his willingness to probe Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) but not a host of Republicans involved in January 6 he called the “Co-conspirator Congress.”

News broke this week — in dramatic fashion — that Rep. Bush is under investigation for her use of security funds.

On Wednesday’s edition of The Dean Obeidallah Show, Mystal — known for his colorful and vehement commentary — renewed his consistent criticism of Garland, and said that while he isn’t defending Bush, he wished Garland would at least “ask Jim Jordan, Ron Johnson. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar to account for themselves on January 6th”:

DEAN OBEIDALLAH: But Jim Jordan– he is the guy. And to me, it just upsets me again about this DOJ. I have to be honest.

ELIE MYSTAL: This weak complicit person who I cannot say on a family radio program, is literally trying to look me in the face and tell me he’s willing to investigate Cori Bush, but he is going to let all of the January 6th Coconspirator Congress-people skate. Not even without without a subpoena, without a question he’s not even going to ask! He’s not even going to ask Jim Jordan, Ron Johnson. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar to account for themselves on January 6th, but he’s going to watch a whole investigation into Cori Bush!

He is. And I’ve said this from the jump, the worst possible attorney general for this moment. And he proves that every freaking day!

Now, that is not to defend Cori Bush. I do not know what she accused of doing, if she has done something wrong. I look, if you’re Cori Bush, you welcome the investigation because it’s an opportunity to prove that whatever you did was not illegal.

And so I you know, I like Cori Bush. I love her politics. I love what, I love that she brings to the table an experience that is often underrepresented, underrepresented not just in our Congress, but in our media culture in general.

She she has she has been impoverished. She has been homeless. Having that kind of person in Congress, I think it’s critically important. So I am a big supporter of Cori Bush. I hope that this investigation comes to nothing, but I do not question–. Well, look, you investigate what you investigate and hopefully you’re proved innocent at the end.

My issue is not that he launched this investigation, if he has good evidence. My issue is that he launched this investigation, but clearly outwardly refused to do the similar thing to the people that we saw try to overthrow the government on January 6th.
