Trump said if he becomes president he would prosecute Hillary clinton

[AmericanGirl05]

Republicans control Congress today...what are they waiting for?

Evidence?





.

Balls.

Congress does not indict. Check the Constitution.

Congress has the legislative power to appoint an Independent Prosecutor to look into just about anything it wants to.

But the Justice Department takes over in the trial process.

Congress only has the power of impeachment. And Hillary is no longer a public official.

Totally incorrect, as my link clearly spells out:

Contempt of Congress - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hey, dummy.

Congress cited Eric Holder for contempt. Was he prosecuted? No.

Why not?

Because the Justice Department did not choose to prosecute him.

Dummy.

And, of course, you did not even take the time to read my link before you posted this.

{sigh} I wish public schools taught people to read.


"Under this process, the procedure for holding a person in contempt involves only the chamber concerned. Following a contempt citation, the person cited is arrested by the Sergeant-at-Arms for the House orSenate, brought to the floor of the chamber, held to answer charges by the presiding officer, and then subjected to punishment as the chamber may dictate (usually imprisonment for punishment reasons, imprisonment for coercive effect, or release from the contempt citation).

Concerned with the time-consuming nature of a contempt proceeding and the inability to extend punishment further than the session of the Congress concerned (under Supreme Court rulings), Congress created a statutory process in 1857. While Congress retains its "inherent contempt" authority and may exercise it at any time, this inherent contempt process was last used by the Senate in 1934, in a Senate investigation of airlines and the U.S. Postmaster. After a one-week trial on the Senate floor (presided over by the Vice-President of the United States, acting as Senate President), William P. MacCracken, Jr., a lawyer and former Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics who was charged with allowing clients to remove or rip up subpoenaed documents, was found guilty and sentenced to 10 days imprisonment.[6]

MacCracken filed a petition of habeas corpus in federal courts to overturn his arrest, but after litigation, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Congress had acted constitutionally, and denied the petition in the caseJurney v. MacCracken.[7][8]"
