Get him under oath.
L
Get em Ted!
Hawley said Zuckerberg to be subpoena d too.
COOL! Thanks for sharing.
They say subpoena, but will this really be treated as anything more than a stern letter? And if the guy shows up, will he be under oath? And if he is under oath and if he lies to Congress, will anyone care?
But but but Trump’s taxes......
Tuesday? Free Beer Tomorrow.
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.

In 1857, a New York Times reporter refused to say which members of Congress had asked him to get them bribes (protecting his “sources” just as various Judith Millers today protect the people who feed them proven lies that costs thousands of lives), so Congress locked him up until he answered and then banned him from Congress.
In 1924 an oil executive appeared but refused to answer certain questions, so the Senate held — literally held — him in contempt. Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana argued that this question of contempt was of the gravest importance, and that it involved “the very life of the effective existence of the House of Representatives of the United States and of the Senate of the United States.” The matter was taken to court, and the witness fined and imprisoned.
Just hope there is a quorum there so they can take a vote on Judge Barrett at the same meeting.
Lindsey has confirmed this ... October 23rd
You know it must be serious if Lindsey is doing something quickly.
Drag Dorsey’s ass to Washington now. Drill him live in public and on TV/Cable/Social Media. Eviscerate this leftist POS. (quite literally would be just)
I hope the committee tears them a new one.

Don’t try to retweet or like this statement on Twitter, you can’t, it’s censored as well.
Nothing will happen to Twitter, but at least this gets into the public eye.
Twitter would not exist without Trump and cannot exist if Trump unless the Executive Branch has controlling interest in Twitter.
Good, the censorship has backfired and drawn 100x more attention to this story about the corrupt biden family.
This next few weeks is going to be really hard on the left, I think.
Seeing Barrett confirmed, the Hunter Biden emails, the election interference from Twitter/Facebook and then, topping it off with a strong Trump victory on November 3rd.
And why announce it?
