Mark Meadows – Contempt, Then Impeachment

[Mark17]

Does contempt of Congress actually mean anything? It seems to me Eric Holder and Lois Lerner were held in contempt. I don’t see where it hurt them at all. They probably wear it as a badge of honor.

Democrats are LAW LESS because Republicans are BALL LESS!!

Trump needs to tell Sessions to fire him. If Sessions wont, then fire Sessions.

Either that, or they are on the same side.

Gowdy was is Fox saying that some of the documents had grand jury information in them and would have to be removed.

I wonder why Meadows is trying to compromise a grand jury?

I think trump above all knows the wheels of justice move very slowly
Especially when holding big demoncat bureaucrats or politicians accountable
Look where we are. A year and a half in already

We have a winner.

Apparently, contempt of Congress is then referred to the Justice Department. Strangely, Holder’s Justice Department declined to prosecute either of them.

... contempt of Congress is then referred to the Justice Department.

Congress has at its disposal ...

Inherent Contempt:

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 or Senate, 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).

No referral to the DOJ.

I guess Congress chickened out. Are you surprised?

I would have loved to have seen this procedure used by the House on Eric Holder but especially Lois Lerner. It would have been sweet to have seen that smug look wiped off her face.

But no, Trey Gowdy and Darryl Issa let her walk.

Imagine that. The rats 🐀 protected their own, and the RINOs did nothing. I used to think they were just gutless, spineless wimps. Now, I tend to think the rats and RINOs are on the same side.
