Another user tweeted, "The criminal prosecution of your political opponents is now a thing in the United States of America! #MerrickGarland is a tool of the far Left and must be impeached NOW!! #ImpeachGarland #ImpeachBiden" Another user wrote, "House Republicans should impeach Attorney General Merrick Garland yesterday. He's a stain on American justice that will take years to wash away."

One user tweeted, "He weathered every autistic screech and infantile probe they unleashed. And finally announced his run. NOW they are engaged in election interference.. That is exactly what this is. The FBI leaked to WAPO that they found nothing and it was all a "political-op". Impeach Garland!" One more user wrote, "Garland says HE has concluded it's in the publics best interest for him to investigate Trump AGAIN when he hasn't found a damn thing in 2 years. It's time he stop using the public as an escape goat for his own mission to investigate Trump no one else wants it. IMPEACH THIS IDIOT!" Another user wrote, "Are the House Republicans going to impeach Merrick Garland? They better do. This loose canon must be removed. @RepJamesComer @Jim_Jordan"
