Kash Patel: “The Speaker of the House has the power to arrest anyone who defies a congressional subpoena!”

https://t.me/ThePatriotAU/94357
******************************************
I believe Kash is telling Charlie Kirk...saying if the D of Justice does not follow through the Speaker of the House has Inherent Contempt of Congress POWERS...
The Speaker of the House can send the Sargent of Arms out and arrest the subpoena people.

Writing for the Court to sustain the Act of 1831 in Ex parte Robinson, Justice Stephen Field described the nature of the contempt power as follows:

The power to punish for contempts is inherent in all courts; its existence is essential to the preservation of order in judicial proceedings, and to the enforcement of the judgments, orders, and writs of the courts, and consequently to the due administration of justice. The moment the courts of the United States were called into existence and invested with jurisdiction over any subject, they became possessed of this power.11
While he expressed doubts concerning the validity of the 1831 Act as applied to the Supreme Court, Justice Field declared that there could be no question of its validity as applied to the lower courts because they are created by Congress and their powers and duties depend upon the act calling them into existence, or subsequent acts extending or limiting their jurisdiction.12 With the passage of time, later adjudications, especially after 1890, came to place more emphasis on the inherent power of courts to punish contempts than upon the power of Congress to regulate summary attachment.

McCarthy may have the power to send out the Sargent of Arms to arrest people who are in contempt of Congress.

But I don’t think he has the stones to do what is right.

The way I lookat it, McCarty is walking a tight rope, conservatives on one side, RINOS on the other.

I think he fears the RINOS more than he fears all of us.

We need to flip that and make him afraid, very afraid.

Then maybe he will start to do what is right.
