More and more it looks like we need to wipe the slate clean of all LAWS since they don’t get followed anyway. Once that has been accomplished, “Kill all the lawyers” would seem to be appropriate as well. Basically, a clean sweep and start over.

I refuse to give the IRS another dime, until Lois Lerner is charged with a crime.

What happened to her emails, a copy of which was finally located? Can’t see how she could be in the clear yet.

Of course, the IRS continues to stonewall and they have not yet produced the found emails.

Lois Lerner gets off; Hillary breathes a sigh of relief, lights up, turns and asks Lois, “ Was it good for you, too?”

They dont have to, CONGRESS can do it on their Own!!

Congress has ALL the power in washington, the executive and judicial branch operate according to the whims of CONGRESS!

Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency
Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish.
Congress can declare WAR

No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!

CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!

Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)

If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.

Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.

Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.

Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

Hillary’s worried about all the shakedowns she did with Arabs and others doing business with the United States...

The ‘foundation’ is a weak excuse... it’s little more than a travel fund for her retirement.
