Meadows and those three other goons

[Boydog]

Will NOT be held accountable for their contempt of Congress. If they don’t comply with the requests of Thompson’s committee, should be in jail.

[Me.]

1. Has This Been Announced

or are you making this up?

[Boydog]

8. Has not been announced. Just speculation on my part.

I am not making anything up. Based on how things usually go, I can see this happening. I do not appreciate your assertion that I “made this up.”

[triron]

2. A 'protracted court battle' is NOT holding them accountable in a meaningful or pragmatic way.

The Sargeant at arms needs to arrest them immediately

[AZSkiffyGeek]

6. Sucks that pesky old Constitution...

Just ship em to Gitmo...

[Boydog]

9. Yes, they need to be cuffed and taken to jail.

[grantcart]

10. Problem Is the SOA would have to have specially trained officers

and also their own detention facility


Too bad their isn't a civil punishment

[Mr.Bill]

20. Make them a branch of the Capitol Police.

There's not many things I can think of that would be a better way to spend my tax dollars. We always come up with enough cops and jails for the common citizens.

[rsdsharp]

24. SOA? I'm not familiar with this.

[Grasswire2]

27. sergeant of arms.

Congress.

[rsdsharp]

34. Ah. I believe it's Sergeant at Arms.

[grantcart]

40. Correct good catch.

[grantcart]

39. Sergeant of Arms

[Scrivener7]

21. They need to be treated exactly how Susan McDougal was treated by republiQans for defying

a subpoena.

[SoCalDavidS]

3. This Country Is A Complete Failure

It's only going to get worse. I wish I could go elsewhere.

[triron]

4. If I were young I would.

[Boydog]

14. Thanks for your fortitude. We have a president who

is busting his ass every day to protect our democracy and make it work. Why don’t you get off your ass and support him.

[SoCalDavidS]

15. Who The Hell Said I Don't Support Him?

There's only so much President Biden can do. I never said it was his fault this country is a failure.

I have my own life to live. I unfortunately do not have time to fix this country. That's the job of our elected officials.

I know when I fuck up, I'm held accountable. This country doesn't do accountability though, which is why NOTHING will happen to these criminals.

[Grasswire2]

30. Hey! Look forward, not back! /sarcasm nt

[PortTack]

23. Correct! Our dem leaders and President Biden need our support and positive words during this

Difficult time not our distain.

Yes, it would be nice if we could just throw them in jail. I will go with what Congressman Schiff said which was there will be consequences. We have to follow the rule of law, even if they don’t!

[Quakerfriend]

5. I'm confused- Has this been

announced, or not ??

[JohnSJ]

7. No, the OP is speculating

[Boydog]

11. No, as I said speculation on my part.

[Boydog]

12. To the legal scholars on the board,

Who does Rep. Thompson turn this over to proceed with contempt charges

[Me.]

19. DOJ

Scavino is being hunted even as I write this

[Me.]

16. Fake News

[PatSeg]

17. It was just the poster's speculation,

which is how I read it.

[Me.]

18. I Know That But...

haven't we had enough of this type of 'speculation'. I believe the Dems when they say they are going to hold them accountable.

[Boydog]

22. Who is going to hold them accountable

and how are they going to do it.

[PortTack]

25. Why don't you bird dog that out and let us all know.

For me...If congressman Schiff said there will be consequences then, I will go with that!

[Me.]

26. There Is A Process That Has Been Discussed Over And Over

also, I said above DOJ so I am wondering if you just want to keep crying that the sky is falling

[Boydog]

31. I truly feel a mixture of anger, and disgust

in regards to bringing these criminals to justice. Plus a nagging feeling that ultimately they will do as they always do, get by on a technicality when guys like Bannon are truly dangerous, even more so than Trump. If a congressional committee can subpoena FORMER officials of a FORMER administration and see them ignored without penalty, we basically have no functional legal system. Executive privilege should not apply after the fact especially when the information sought could determine if an organized attempt was afoot to overthrow the government.

[Me.]

37. Here's My Issue With Your Post

U understand the anger and frustration regarding people being held accountable for the last four years. But that isn't now and the Dems in charge have said they will pursue these people and are not willing to put up with their criminal activities. So casting doubt upon them and their integrity has no value and does not help.

[Silent3]

32. They have to say that sort of thing

There's no chance at all of accountability if Congress doesn't at least sound forceful about their subpoenas.

But sounding forceful is merely necessary, without being sufficient, and only raises the odds of true accountability slightly.

[Boydog]

33. So what you are saying is that we control

both houses of Congress and the executive branch but are powerless to utilize control of two of the three branches of government to subpoena witnesses and gather information regarding an insurrection? We are being laughed at by Trump and those who worked for him.

[Silent3]

35. I wish that weren't true. I hope that isn't true. But...

...I have little evidence yet to give me hope.

[Boydog]

36. It didn't seem to bother Peter Rodino or Sam Ervin too much.

Thank God they had the balls to do their job. I highly respect 95 percent of democratic members of Congress and those who serve in the Biden administration. However, some need to grow a set and be resolute for what’s right. As badly as I hate to say this, it may include our attorney general.

[Me.]

38. And?

Do you think Chairman Thompson is lying and fobbing us off/

[Silent3]

41. I don't know if I'd call it lying...

…so much as aspirational.

If the choice is between no chance of getting cooperation (or consequences for a lack thereof), and a small chance by trying to sound tough, I guess you go with the small chance and hope luck makes what you say not a lie in the end.
