U.S. House Republicans on Thursday narrowly failed to hold U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt over his refusal to provide an audio recording of President Joe Biden’s taped interview with special counsel Robert Hur, and four Republicans who defected are now being blamed.

A leading conservative account on X singled out the four lawmakers — Congressmen Tom McClintock (R-CA), John Duarte (R-CA), David Joyce (R-OH), and Mike Turner (R-OH) — after they voted with Democrats to protect President Biden’s top cop from being criminally charged for withholding the recording. Republicans had sought access to it since Hur released a withering memo compiled from his interview with the president about how classified documents came to be placed in the garage of his Delaware home. The account, @DC_Draino, urged followers to call the offices of the four Republicans and vent their anger.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) was supportive of the contempt push but controls a razor-thin majority, meaning just two or more Republicans falling out of line can derail a motion or even the chamber’s entire agenda. However, conservatives ostensibly believe they can bring their four colleagues in line eventually, as Rep. Anna Luna (R-FL) has moved to schedule a second contempt vote next week when more lawmakers return to Washington.

With President Joe Biden’s campaigns remaining on the ropes, the House GOP has moved aggressively to set an agenda that benefits former President Donald Trump’s campaign and Republicans down the November ballot. The SAVE Act, which would restrict the potential for non-citizen voting in federal elections, was passed on Thursday with unanimous Republican support and even a handful of Democratic lawmakers.

“This will be one of the most important votes that members of this chamber will ever take in their entire careers,” House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said in a press release before the vote, according to Fox News.

“And it’s an issue we never thought we would have to actually address, but that moment has come to us now. Should Americans and Americans alone determine the outcome of American elections? Or should we allow foreigners and illegal aliens to decide who sits in the White House and in the People’s House and in the Senate?”

Returning to a Garland contempt vote next week will give Republicans another opportunity to push their message of “lawfare” brought against President Trump. The attorney general and former Supreme Court nominee has faced the GOP’s wrath on a number of fronts over the past years; a deputy in his office left only to join the case against Trump brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, suggesting a coordinated attempt to charge the former president. Last year Garland fumbled the appointment of special counsel David Weiss to prosecute Hunter Biden, backtracking after allegations surfaced that he initially denied special counsel powers. And Garland remains mired in Trump’s stalled federal cases, torn between granting special counsel Jack Smith independence or pushing forward on his own to try and prosecute Trump before the November election.
