I am not a lawyer. Maybe you or a fellow FReeper can advise.
Is there any way Congress could cut off funding on an immediate basis? Even if temporary, it would shut these people down. Defund the IRS, FBI, etc... for refusing to do their jobs. Would love to see that happen
The rule of law is dead.
Folks - the DOJ NEVER prosecutes in such cases - this is all hyperbole on our part! The Bush DOJ didn’t prosecute when the house moved for contempt citations against his advisors - and he at least had a case for executive privilege.
This was ALWAYS going to have to move through the civil side of the courts. It’s a pro-forma step that had to be taken. They actually did the House a favor by answering that they weren’t going to prosecute as quickly as they did. Issa was saying they expected to wait weeks to give the DA a chance to digest it.
We all knew he wasn’t going to be prosecuted. The next piece of excrement that holds that office wants to get away with the same thing.
The state of AZ needs to check into pressing charges against him.
I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
