Breitbart reported that on Wednesday during a Washington Post Live interview, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Congress has a little jail cell when asked what they can do to if members of the Trump administration does not comply with congressional demands. Reporter Robert Costa asked, “How far can you go to on that front, Speaker Pelosi?

I fairness, the Democrats are really just a pseudopod of the MSM, which is implacably antagonistic to the Republicans.
But yeah, basically.
Pelosi’s a real piece of work, isn’t she?
They want to dance then we will dance.
If that’s what must be done.
We are truly in scary times in America..the left has shown themselves for what they are..they hate our guts they want us dead..the best option, split the country in half, they have their side, their own Govt, and we have our half, our Govt, etc..why even try to live among people who hate our guts and want us dead
Actually they do. Whatever House in Congress files the contempt charge can order the Seargent of Arms to go get them, even at their house and bring them to the Capital jail. They can also fine a person per day. They threatened Barr with $20K a day this week.
Nan has a brain full of maggots.
“Each method [of contempt enforcement] invokes the authority of a separate branch of government.”
Holder and Bolton were both cited and NOTHING HAPPENED.
Nutsy Pelousy can go suck some more lemons. Bar can tell the lot of them to KMA. Trump Jr., just called to testify in yet another sham command performance can just ignore them or if he goes suffer amnesia. All he has to do IF he testifies is to tell the truth as he recalls it. That hag hillary did it many times and very well. So can he or anyone else.
The republic is dead. Long live the republic or something like that.
Wow! I was unaware that Congress had all that power.
If they choose to exercise it, then it’s pretty much over for the Trump administration, and perhaps even for him politically AND personally.
No wonder they didn’t much care about winning the Senate.
Shades of the Jacobin parliament.
Doesn’t the Secretary of the Treasury have to sign the checks that pay all federal employees. And if he is not there to sign them ....
Give it time but it won’t take long. Problem is, it is like how Pakistan and India were split. India in the middle and Pakistan on each side. One side became Bangladesh as I recall.
At the end of the day though this house is divided and cannot stand. What is more, demographics insure that whites and traditional American values will become in the minority within less than 30 to 50 years. This can’t be stopped without a huge event of some sort that shakes the beliefs of the generations that are taking over. Boomers have not done a good job at all.
Yep it’s the GOP’s fault the (D)generates are whiny
lil b!tchutes and that they’re the party of slavery segregation and socialism
Gotta love the crypto-liberal tut-tutting
The last republican in Sodom on the Potomac to play any hard ball was Ronald Reagan. Not one since that I am aware of, at least until Trump.
a little jail with a little pail.
These traitorous rats - every last one of the scumbags - would be in jail if the right knew how to play hard ball.
What are the checks, by the other two branches, to that congressional power?
Pelosi, ““We Do Have a Little Jail Down in the Basement of the Capitol”
Yep. And if you look close, you’ll see graffiti by Jimmy Hoffa.

Give them Mexico, and finish the wall.
For little Munchkins?
