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

[justoffal]

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.

He's not .... Not for the Democrats either which is why they are pissed.

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."

DemonRAT pundits are allowed to suggest getting dirty and nasty with polticis, and the rest of the media applauds, but someone on the right in the media suggested these things, they’d be screaming nationalism or white supremacy or whatever crazy hyperbole they saw fit...
Yeah, placing Eric "The RED" Holder under contempt of congress worked so well!!!!!

Perhaps they can send a fully armed swat brigade like they did with Roger Stone?

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.

So when Holder was held in contempt by Congress you railed against him? I don't think so.

Lefty owns no mirrors.....

Progressives and Muslims share this one trait all day long...

It's OKAY to lie to your enemy as long as it promotes the Holy cause.
