Speaker Pelosi Threatens Possibility of Armed Conflict Against U.S. Department of Justice…
FTA:
Now consider, earlier today U.S. House of Representatives Legal Counsel, Douglas Letter, argued in court it would be a possible remedy -for a conflict between branches of government- for Speaker Nancy Pelosi to order an armed “gun battle” between the House and the United States Department of Justice. Yes, this actually happened.
At the same time as national Democrat political candidates are arguing to remove the constitutional rights of law-abiding gun owners, the highest ranking Democrat in the United States; a person only two succession-steps away from the presidency; is arguing in DC federal court the House could begin an armed conflict against the Dept. of Justice.
And how many divisions does the Speaker have?
Maybe smart members of the House should reconsider their threats and taunts of implied terrorism in light of events in Baghdad.
(My paraphrasing) The good thing is that while the House Lawyer is arguing that it is unprecedented and monsterous that the DOJ is opposing the release of Mueller Grand Jury Testamony, Judge Rao responds that she can find no previous case where this happened, so, no, NOT unprecedented as he sayes. “Can you find such a case?” She asks “ I would be happy to see it!”
He admitted he would have to look.
Not certain where this will go.
Lawyer said the houser could send the Sgt at Arms to seize requested info from DOJ, which he assumed they would submit to. If not then it might turn into a gun battle,etc.
(I suspect doj would just say we aren’t telling you where it is. So there. Good luck finding it, and Sgt at arms would have to just go away.)
