HUGE! Devin Nunes Gives DOJ Til 5 PM Monday to Reveal When the Spying on Trump Campaign Began
gateway pundit ^

Posted on 06/24/2018 9:25:43 AM PDT by MNDude

The Department of Justice sent Intel Chairman Devin Nunes a response on Friday night to requests for information from the DOJ and FBI on internal spying on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, something that is unprecedented in US history.

Rep. Nunes warned last week “there will be hell to pay” if the documents are not turned over.

If Nunes would impeach Sessions....it might get interesting but I doubt this will happen.

How many lines in the sand is this guy going to draw?

Why is Sessions allowing this?

Absolutely unacceptable!

Not only should the DOJ clowns be fired. They should be arrested, all asserts seized, interrogated and charged with the maximum penalty of the law.

I’m done with these criminals. Why are they continuing to be allowed to run wild?

They are still refusing to answer the question on spying, read the letter. They said ask the DNI not us.

Ducking, weaving, and dodging.

How many deadlines has Nunes given to the DOJ?? Yet DOJ has continued to disregard and go along their merry old way of obstruction.

This is the beginning... spying on Trump WITHOUT ANY EXCUSE is a crime... and it’s an easy one for citizens to understand...

It should be 9am Monday morning. The DOJ has had enough time to have those documents ready, why give them anymore time?

MORE Kabuki!

Sheesh! It’s well past time for the Congress to reassert its oversight rights and get this crap out in the open.

Sessions could help, but he’s still pondering his navel somewhere.

Three ‘deadlines’ and still the DOJ is thumbing its nose at the Congress critters.
We have NO reason to believe this new deadline is anything but another mile-marker on the slide toward oblivion.

It wasn’t “spying.” LOL They’ve already said repeatedly they were not SPYING. They were just protecting candidate Trump.

“Your crossed my red line so,” (draws another red line), “I double dog dare you to cross THIS one.”

IMHO, the Gateway Pundit ‘article’ is next to worthless.

Yawn. I’m convinced nothing significant will happen until somebody’s in jail. Words against the RATS are useless.

I certainly understand the skepticism in this thread. We have largely lost the respect we had for a majority in government and they have earned our disbelief. But, Trump and his administration, continue to surprise us and deliver on campaign promises. We haven't forgotten "Lock Her Up". I doubt POTUS has either ...

“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. One has to wonder how a previous Congress might have responded to Alberto Gonzales’s endless recitations of “I do not recall.”

Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish.
Congress can declare WAR

No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!

CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!

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.

First it was Wednesday. Then it was Friday.
Of course all the months that has gone by.
I don’t blame Nunes.
He has been a strong fighter.
What more can he do if the RINO Ryan does not have his back.
Get rid of Ryan.

As Robin Williams, put it:

“This is a ‘Line of Death’......you cross it, you die.”

“Ok, you cross this line, you die.”

“Cross this line, you die.”

“Cross this line, you die.”

“Alright, that’s it, you come knocking on my door, I’m not coming out...Nyaah!”

Correct my history if necessary.

Stalin, “How many divisions does the Pope have?”
Andrew Jackson, “The Court has made it’s decision, now let them enforce it.”

In the ‘honest’ America of one hundred, or even fifty years ago, there is no doubt that the righteous wrath of the American people would have severely punished ALL the Deep State violators and subversion, of their oath to the Constitution.
They are almost too many to mention.
