1. Get thee to the greatest page

No more time for these criminals - contempt!

[beachbum bob]

2. time for democrats to stand up and take no more from trump and his criminal circle

Pelosi has the power, time to use it.

After contempt citation, articles of impeachment hearings on Barr and other admin officials and let it play out in front of the american people. Nothing like watching the scum take the "5th" to every question

[ehrnst]

21. This is what happens first, not last. (nt)

[beachbum bob]

23. the contempt of congress is a given, so it what comes noext

[ehrnst]

24. From there, Democrats would have three options to force Barr's hand:

They could refer the matter to the U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., who would decide whether to launch a criminal prosecution of his own boss, the attorney general.

Democrats could turn to the courts to enforce the subpoena.

Or they could take matters into their own hands and call their sergeant at arms.
.........................................................................................
Berman: From your point of view, would you personally support and advocate this move, which in modern times is unprecedented, to have the attorney general arrested by the sergeant at arms? Would you personally advocate that?

Raskin: Well, no, nobody has advocated that specifically. But I just want to make sure that we have all instruments on the table, and we should be aware that Congress has inherent powers of contempt that can relate to fines, orders, as well as arrests. But I, you know, nobody’s calling for that at this point.

25. option 3 is a good place to start, force barr in front of the committee so he can take the "5th"

Sarah Sanders has sent a statement in the middle of the House Judicial Committee proceedings to charge Barr with contempt. She is just claiming this is partisan and re-stating Trump's new assertion of executive privilege.

14. This coming from a person ...

who admitted she lied, to Mueller, in his investigation,

[Takket]

22. Exactly

I find it deeply disturbing that the media gives anything coming from her any attention. They do us a disservice reporting anything she says without at least coming with a disclaimer that by admitting she lies, she has made herself an unreliable source of any information.

26. I wonder what Mr. Huckabee Sanders does for a living

and if he'll be able to get a nanny for their kids while Sarah is in prison.

13. Stop the effing pandering and use available powers to their fullest on these scofflaws.

Really. Stop with the "asked him to make a good faith effort", "reconsider its refusal", etc etc.

Take off the gloves and fight like Democracy depends on it.
