House Democrats officially introduce contempt resolution for Barr, McGahn
The Hill ^ | 06/06/19 | Olivia Beavers and Morgan Chalfant

Posted on 06/06/2019 2:58:39 PM PDT by detective

House Democrats have officially introduced a resolution to hold Attorney General William Barr and former White House counsel Don McGahn in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with congressional subpoenas.

The contempt resolution allows House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) to go to court to seek civil enforcement of the subpoena for Barr to turn over special counsel Robert Mueller’s unredacted report and underlying evidence, as well as for McGahn to provide documents and public testimony.

The resolution also gives any committee chair the rare power to go to federal court to seek civil enforcement of subpoenas, both current and future orders, so long as they are granted approval by the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group.

Though the measure deals with civil contempt, a Democratic aide also noted that if Democrats come across behavior that is “egregious enough,” there may be additional criminal contempt proceedings.

These posple are clearly getting their orders from Hillary and Obama, to throw absolutely everything at the wall so something hopefully sticks.
They see the tide turning and need a miracle before it reaches them.

Its all about removing a duly elected president they don’t like. They will stop at nothing to do it.

Our country is heading for a very dangerous and frightening place.

They’re asking a gun to come to a knife.

Go Barr!

Maybe someone on the right should crap on a cop car.

Seems to advance the cause. More so than the usual doing-nothing as practiced by the right.

Can the liberal bar association disbar Barr and McGahn over this?

Barr should send a DOJ contempt citation against the Demonicrats and RINOcrats in Congress.

No question about it. They are both instigating and orchestrating this viscous attack against a sitting president.

Their former ‘resistance movement’ has morphed into outright usurpation that will tear this country apart.

Don’t give them any ideas. They would love to remove Barr to take the heat off of them.

At this point I still believe Barr and Trump know when to drop the hammer. The anticipation is killing me!

democrat party tenacity for tedious mendacity overrules any attempt at logical liberal legislation. Willful blindness to reality is the standard operating procedure.

Enforce civil enforcement of subpoenas— subpoenas which, if responded to in full would be and ACT OF CRIMINAL violation of the Law!

How does one, anyone, even Natzi Pelousi, enforce CRIMINAL actions as the result of a Congressional SubPoena?

They have LOST their minds— what little they had. This is meaningless and should be IGNORED by all who are cited. Period.

The smell of desperation and fear wafting through the house chamber as they roll out the last gasp efforts to try and save their utterly defeated party. I cannot wait to see them all hoisted on their own petards.

Delicious.

Not likely.

Barr should arrest them if they do go to court.

They are threatening to jail him for obeying the law.

I think that falls under the heading of ‘deprivation of civil rights under the color of law’ (I think that’s the correct wording)

This CANNOT be legal!!!!!!!!
