Defund them? It looks like they are accomplices in the Biden Crime Family.
Shutter the whole damn thing. They are all worthless scum bags using America tax dollars to attack conservatives and Christians.
Less talk and more action. Cut funding and tell us you cut funding yesterday in order to get them to act lawfully.
Shut em down …. Time to converse is over. Be BOLD or Shut Up
Do it!
Put sll of them in the soup line and let President Trump reinstate those with a staight and level head if any.
Threatens? How about DOING IT!!
...here comes a false flag attack on "the children", blamed on the GOP for cutting funding.
It's how sausage is made...in the district of criminals.
Republicans aren’t going to defund the FBI any more than Democrats are going to defund the Police.
They’ll huff and they’ll puff and they’ll act outraged over the FIB’s conduct, but after a week or two the whole thing will be forgotten and it will be back to business as usual.
I heard the other day the the FBI is building another facility on the base at Redstone Arsenal an ‘innovation center’. What are these rats up to now?
Cut Wray’s pay to minimum wage.
If I had my druthers the FBI would disbanded. It’s a rogue agency.
oooohhhhh.....I see a sternly-worded letter coming!
losers...
Big talk. How is that going to happen with a Democrat Senate and poopy pants Joe ready to veto it?
If I'm not mistaken, any House bill to change a department or agency's funding requires Senate approval. Even if a House FBI defunding bill can hurdle the RINOs in the House, it won't get through the Senate.
If I'm wrong in understanding the Senate's role in bills involving funding or defunding - please let me know.
“U.S. CODE
TITLE 2—THE CONGRESS
CHAPTER 6—CONGRESSIONAL AND COMMITTEE PROCEDURE; INVESTIGATIONS
Sec. 193. Privilege of witnesses
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or otherwise render him infamous.”
Simply look up Hinds Precedents, especially chapters 53 and 51, and Cannon’s Precedents, especially chapters 184-185. You’ll find numerous detailed cases of Congress asserting its power, arresting people, holding them until they agreed to answer questions, and then releasing them. Some of these people did not refuse to appear, but simply failed to satisfactorily answer questions.
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.
Enough with threats - DO IT NOW!
yawn
We’re way beyond the time for threats and there is never any action by the GOP. All BS all the time.
Starve the beast make to weak to attack
