Robert "Third" Reich encourages Congress to consider arresting William Barr

[The Purge]

Political pundit Robert Reichhhh encouraged Congress to consider having Attorney General William Barr arrested if he doesn't cooperate with lawmakers' demands.

Barr is scheduled to testify about special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, but the Justice Department and majority party Democrats are grappling over the parameters.

Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., has said Barr will be subpoenaed if he doesn't show.

In an opinion piece in Newsweek on Tuesday, Reich, who was labor secretary in the Clinton administration, said there should be consequences if Barr refuses to comply with a subpoena.

"What could the Committee do? Hold Barr in contempt of Congress—under Congress's inherent power to get the information it needs to carry out its constitutional duties. Congress cannot function without this power," Reich wrote. "Under this inherent power, the House can order its own sergeant-at-arms to arrest the offender, subject him to a trial before the full House, and, if judged to be in contempt, jail that person until he appears before the House and brings whatever documentation the House has subpoenaed."

Reich noted historical precedence of at least threatening jail time, citing the Nixon era, but cast doubt on Nadler actually going through with such an extreme show of force.

"Would America really be subject to the wild spectacle of the sergeant-at-arms of the House arresting an Attorney General and possibly placing him in jail?" he said. "Probably not. Before that ever occurred, the Trump administration would take the matter to the Supreme Court on an expedited basis."

Yeah, placing Eric "The RED" Holder under contempt of congress worked so well!!!!!

He's a little short on substance.

 

[lantern2814]

I'm sure Barr isn't exactly shaking in is shoes at Nadler and Reich's impotent threats. If the Dems even think of trying this, the resulting backfire would be tremendous.

 

[Claudette]

I doubt Barr is worried at all. The dimwits in the House aren't his bosses. Trump is his boss.

Hope he tells the idiots to pound fucking sand.

 

[Lysistrata]

If barr, with all of his experience and his position as chief federal law-enforcement officer, does not understand how the federal government works under the U.S. Constitution, why is he in this position?

BTW: Barr does not work "for trump." He is supposed to be working for the American people. He is not supposed to be a party apparatchik.

Trump is not a party … he is POTUS and is therefore AG Barr's boss.

It's amazing just how little you leftards understand about "how the federal government works under the U.S. Constitution" and how eager you are to share your seemingly endless ignorance.

It isn't only that our leftarded friends are ignorant but that so much of what they believe they know just isn't so. - (props to R. Reagan)

The Department of Justice is part of the Executive branch, not the Legislative branch. Separation of Powers and all that.

Lol
Whatever Mueller says should not be taken as gospel… After all it’s just his opinion

Reich is a classic example of the Napoleon Complex. Can't trust a midget.

If it will enforce our rules regarding separation of powers, this might be a good idea. He's just one person who purports to know the rules, but he apparently doesn't. These rules have been in place throughout decades, if not hundreds of years, and complied with by both Republican-led and Democratic-led administrations. barr has no right to refuse congress.

We, The People, have the right to full transparency. barr must testify to Congress, which oversees the goings-on of the executive branch. BTW: we taxpayers pay these folks' salaries, and we are entitled to a full reporting.

All people in the executive branch "work" for the President, but some do take an oath to uphold the constitution and laws of the US.

Why is it that progressives always think unelected Bureaucrats should hold more power than elected officials?

Oh, that's right because they know they can get away with more shit via a bureaucracy than than ballot box.

1.) He does not have to testify
2.) He cannot be arrested by the SAA...that's rediculous and stupid beyond description.
3.) He can be held in contempt
4.) Contempt of Congress means the DOJ
Would have to refer the arrest...I think you can see the problem with that.
5.) Congress is Co-equal not superior to the executive branch
6.) They are obviously in total panic about
Barr's investigation of Fisa abuse.

The SAA and the capitol police would very quickly get their asses handed to them
by Barr's SS detail and the DOJ soldiery who actually train at CIA standard. The SAA and his henchies are a collection of overweight Psuedo-cops who are barely able to contain the group the septegenarians they baby sit. Never mind even an attempt to arrest a sitting AG.

Much to the contrary Barr simply needs to keep steady. He will draw blood legally ..
and yes there is jail time coming.

Too funny.

The Department of Justice is part of the Executive branch, not the Legislative branch. Separation of Powers and all that.

But the branches of government are supposed to work together. Are the workings of Congress being hidden from the executive branch? The AG's JOB is to work in the best interests of the American People, not be a party-boy. Each branch of government has a responsibility to the People as a whole. As the nation's top (minus one, the president) law enforcement officer, barr has to be answerable to all.

What has he got to hide, anyway?
