Congress threatens to jail those who don't comply with subpoenas

[Daryl Hunt]

That might be true if it weren't for that pesky little law called Obstruction of Justice and Conspiracy. And you are right, the Accused does not have to cooperate but others do. And to instruct others not to cooperate and they follow that "Advice" makes them liable for the Obstruction of Justice and Conspiracy charges which can be easily proven. While Rump may not be bagged for that, himself, his merry band of criminals will be. And that is why so many are rolling over.

As the President, Rump gets a whole new set of rules. And, I know you think he doesn't have any rules, but he is barred by law to use his office for his own personal gain. That includes obstructing any investigation into him or his actions. He's protected against prosecution as long as he's President but what an Impeachment Trial is all about is to whether he remains President or not. If he is removed from office, all the charges can be or might be totaled up by the next President's Justice Department and Rump may be in serious trouble. Rump had better damn well pray that Biden doesn't become President in 2021. The way Rump has treated Biden, if I were Biden, Rump would be behind bars so fast and so long that you would have plenty of time to forget his name. What Rump doesn't understand is, be careful how you treat your possible replacement because you will be treated at least as unfairly as you treated them. It also WILL happen in 2024 as well so the day of reckoning is coming. We just don't know the exact date.

Well, that's just stupid....No president has ever prosecuted a former president, and that won't change now no matter how much he triggers you....

Look, the POTUS has an absolute right to have his people around him, give him counsel, and speak freely. It's called executive privilage. Without it no one could do that job...

You little snots think that because you hate Trump, you have some special right to control what he does, and who he speaks with...You're wrong period.

Yes, as long as it's his own personal legal council. But when it's on the Governments dime, client/council rights are waved when Congress issues a Subpoena. So you want special privilege for Rump but not any other President? Not going to happen. If someone on Rumps staff wishes to cover for him and lie to congress then they have to be aware of the backlash that can and will happen. the ONLY one with Executive Privilege is Rump, himself when the subpoenas hit. Now, there is no law that says that the Rump band of Merry Criminals can't sit in front of Congress and plead the 5th which would be closer to the truth.

And the reason no prosecution for past Presidents have occurred is because the incoming Presidents have pardoned them and cut deals to tamp down the offended parties. Clinton and Nixon didn't get off scott free.

Nonsense....Sounds to me like always with liberal progressives, you've deemed the President guilty, and now anyone who disagrees with your assessment is either lying, or duped...It's really quite ridiculous.

Rump makes Nixon and Clinton look like Saints. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for Rump. No special treatment.

Careful, your TDS is showing....Anyway, no chance that any of this concludes with what you think it will in your fantasies, so, it really is moot.

Now you did it. Rump is going to have to Fire, have one quit, or have one indicted to make room for the replacement you just created.

This is definitely uncharted territory for congress. But once you jail someone, then they have a right to an attorney.

Tlaib says Democrats have discussed detaining White House officials who don't testify

Jailing someone for not complying with a subpoena issued from an illegal investigation. Oh yea, this will be fun.

That's what they would do in any other circumstance. Fail to comply with a lawfully served subpoena and the judge then issues a bench warrant for your arrest..

Great, no worries, then! The executive can now comply with all the subpoenas and expose the lying democrats, and Barr can now open his official investigation into Joe Biden.

Right?

Nah, the Democrat Schiff for brains can go fuck himself...

Has he been convicted of something, and I wasn't told? How'd that happen?

No, just acting as if he is guilty as sin. That was my point. It seemed obvious.

 

[2aguy]

It cannot be done legally Congress has no power or authority to arrest, detain or otherwise incarcerate.

False. You literally just made that up. Do you plan to make up lies all day?

Do you asshats understand the concept of the Separation of Powers......congress can't arrest anyone.......

Thank goodness your opinion is worthless...

But, in the spirit of hopefully some day being able to actually have an honest debate out of you people, I will say that he must be careful, this process, in the way that the current crop of Democrats are abusing it could go way wrong for him....

But this won't help Democrats, they are risking the American people turning their backs on them for good with this foolish gambit, and all because their bitter they lost....Could it be more childish?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Same to you. One vote.

I will say that he must be careful, this process, in the way that the current crop of Democrats are abusing it could go way wrong for him....

How so? I don't see a problem. They can't formally begin impeachment proceedings without a vote. You and Trump will get your House vote, eventually. Until then, you squirm.

If the Capitol police make so much as one illegal arrest the result will be military follow-up and a whole bunch of dead and crippled capitol police.

My guess is the police force will tell them to pound sand anyway.

Jo

 

[2aguy]

One can only hope the democrats are stupid enough to give those orders......

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

False. This is a civilized country. A lawyer would get a judicial order, and the arrested person would be released. Unless no judge is willing to issue such an order... In which case, he would sit in jail for a bit. Come back to reality, son.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Trump won the 2016 election per the American electoral process.
Get over it and grow up.

What this is, folks, is a Legislative Branch led coup d'état of the Executive. Simple as that. Congress is a law creating body—not a law enforcement one. The Democrats are derailing our entire civilization. We deserve it and more if we allow them to succeed.

Trump should throw Rashid Taliban in Gitmo

It was a civilized society. Then Soros ordered his democrat Party to stage a Coup and try to start a Civil War

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

Only democrats should be jailed for not showing up to testify under subpoena....as our Constitution says...…

When the president is Republican, it is illegal to even think about investigating him -- as Trump's DOJ brilliantly argued, Nixon should have never been investigated, let alone impeached -- if only he had today's patriots backing him back then -- he would have served 2 terms...

 

[Faun]

This impeachment inquiry is not a legal impeachment procedure in any way. You cannot compel someone to testify when there is no power of the law behind it.

Without a vote in the house to authorize the inquiry they have no monies and have no power to subpoena.

LOLOL

Show where House rules require a full House vote to authorize an impeachment inquiry or you're full of shit...
