NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” cold open lampooned the classified document scandal facing the country’s law two presidential administrations.
Mikey Day portrayed Attorney General Merrick Garland as an impish crimefighter with tough-guy ambitions.
“I may look like I was born in a library, but there’s something you should know: Merrick Garland don’t play,” the fake AG said, after being introduced by a Western inspired theme song punctuated by the sounds of a horse being whipped.
Garland said President Biden and former Vice President Mike Pence’s lawyers had been cooperating with the feds after being busted with top secret documents, but not former President Trump, “whose lawyer put a horse head in my bed.”
When posing the rhetorical question if it was a pressing matter to recover the classified documents from the leaders, Day-as-Garland said “I don’t know, but it’s the law. And I am the law.”
Agents played by Kenan Thompson and Ego Nwodim then stepped to the podium to describe how their searches of Pence’s house and the home of Vice President Kamala Harris turned up empty.
