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?

Sorry, forgot which thread I was on. I don't see it applying to Mnuchin either though.

"... may tend to disgrace him or otherwise render him infamous.”

Neither Mnuchin or Barr are using that as their grounds for not complying with Congress.

Nancy is telegraphing the game plan, when the Democrats return to power they will criminalize all opposition. The Democrats are going to label any conservative as purveyors of hate speech and terrorist threats so shutting down conservative platforms and setting up “Human Rights Courts” to fine and imprison “right wing purveyors of hate” will be the order of the day. Of course there will be a “white nationalist terrorist” incident where the “protected class people” will be victims which will of course lead to calls for the final “commonsense” measures of gun law reform. The reform will be to remove all fire arms from private homes however “responsible” people will still be allowed to exercise their 2nd Amendment privilege by storing their weapon at a government licensed gun storage unit. This facility will have strict accountability as to taking the weapon off sight and the purchase of ammunition and will monitor and report on all the activities of it's customers. There will also be other restrictions in addition to the fees and taxes that will be applied to anyone approved after their annual federal investigation, the cost of which the applicant is responsible for whether or not they are approved. Then the real fun begins when the Democrats can finally tip the scales and begin returning America to it's “rightful owners”.They already have plans to usher in utopia and as usual in history it can't come until the reactionary elements are dealt with.

Do you really think the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House is willing to go toe-to-toe with Barr’s protective detail?

We need to adopt the British custom. Whenever the Queen goes to address Parliament, Parliament must give up one of its members to be a hostage to assure the safety of the Queen. So Trump should demand a hostage from the Democrats any time an administration official goes to testify.

Thank you

He should reply, “We have Gitmo.”

The poster forgot to add the House doesn’t have all that power by themselves.

Now Pelosi says they have a Congressional jail?!

Yeah, and she already said the legislative branch was the superior branch of the federal government.

Did not know that. Thanks for a most interesting bit of trivia.

Fascinating! Although I did have to google for “Black Rod”. Sounds like either a Seventies-era DC villain or a Seventies-era porn star.

Pelosi sent $700 million to a company her brother sat on the board of. That cannot be legal. Put her in that jail in congress.
