Congress got the power...but does it have guts to use it ?

Congress has three formal methods by which it can combat non-compliance with a duly issued
subpoena. Each of these methods invokes the authority of a separate branch of government.

First, the long dormant inherent contempt power permits Congress to rely on its own constitutional
authority to detain and imprison a contemnor until the individual complies with congressional
demands.


Second, the criminal contempt statute permits Congress to certify a contempt citation to
the executive branch for the criminal prosecution of the contemnor.

Finally, Congress may rely on the judicial branch to enforce a congressional subpoena. Under this procedure, Congress may
seek a civil judgment from a federal court declaring that the individual in question is legally
obligated to comply with the congressional subpoena.

Congress has the ‘power of the purse’ and can pass laws that have punishments. Hearings used to influence budgets and laws.

Congress surrendered their budget control to the Executive, and their law-making power to bureaucrats.

Congressional hearings today are a way to keep topics out of the hands of actual prosecutors.

“Sessions can’t act because he recused himself for all matters connected to Hillary”

Make no mistake. Hillary is guilty as sin.

But the winner prosecuting the loser like it was Zimbabwe is going to ring a bell that can’t be un-rung, and politics and elections will never be the same.

Freepers: prepare for a ton of “Gowdy is all talk and no action” posts.

For the record I believe Jim Jordan and Trey Gowdy are the leaders in the House with regard to the Fake Dossier.

There are others, many others, but those two stand out for me.

Where’s the “BOOM!” or the “POW!” or the “WHAM!”? A headline announcing another non-starter by Gowdy should always be accompanied by one or more of those exclamations./S

“Congressional hearings today are a way to keep topics out of the hands of actual prosecutors.”

________________________________________________

Bingo! I had the feeling all of this noise was to disguise their non-action and prevent anyone else from actually prosecuting!

Thank you for laying it out so succinctly!

o why don’t we see any results of all his power?

Did I say he had power or did I say he was a great interrogator? Or did I say interrogation was the extent of his power?

“Then why have hearings? “

Exactly!

Mr. Gowdy can “bark, bark bark” til he’s blue in the face, but the criminals he is grilling know all along that NOTHING will become of it. Ever.

They don’t crap their pants. They do their time in the box, let Gowdy bark, then go home and back to whatever they were doing before the interruption.

It’s all click bait. Gowdy’s questions are concise. It’s obvious he studies the issues and the questions so it’s a thing of beauty to watch him catch people trying to outwit him.

I’m kind of new to using youtube as news and I can tell you it’s discouraging when it’s referenced with click bait headlines, computer synthesized voices and dubious voice overs.

For all of the Gowdy haters out there who don’t have any idea how the different branches of government function, remember this from the Gowdy committee...

December 13, 2012 — Congressional investigators ask Clinton if she uses a personal email.

The only reason this was found was due to the congressional committee work. But Merry Christmas to all of the haters in any case.

He can’t do anything, because he’s not a prosecutor.
++++
Correct - almost. What he can do and has done is send referrals to DOJ and possibly to the FBI. And he has done so and is continuing to do so and has explained many times that CONGRESS DOES NOT DO CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS NOR PROSECUTE CRIMES.

The referrals from congressional committees are the result of testimony that indicates the possibility of criminal activity (perjury for example) or other evidence of crimes that crosses their desks.

But the Never-Gowdys never bother to do a Google search or two for Gowdy-referrals to see if he is making referrals which of course he is.

You have a friend. See my Post 79 just above for my Gowdy Defense. That defense is surprisingly but also clearly needed here at good old FR so I for one appreciate your support.
