The “Just-us” Department will get right on it! /s
Covering up his own hoard of documents is a very plausible explanation for the raid. Of course we’ll never see anything resembling clear proof.
bttt
We all know nothing will happen, no matter what these communists do. The law has been weaponized against normal americans.
Illegal.
And so, of course, we are all anxiously awaiting the articles of impeachment to be filed.
How many times is this now, I've lost count. Hell, I didn't even know what the count was when I heard the Nord Stream II was blown up.
Has this appeared anywhere besides GP?
SO WHAT. If this were something real the DOJ would act on it. Oh wait, the DOJ is owned by Democrats and as such ARE ABOVE THE LAW.
Our best hope is that Biden takes one big massive crap in his diaper and dies from loss of brain matter. Maybe he will get shit faced on Irish whiskey and sniff the hair of a little girl who has a father who will kick Biden’s ass but good.
Another Gateway nothing will be done bombshell.
Worse than Watergate!
The MSM will be totally all over this tomorrow morning.
NOTHING but courage, integrity, character and doing the right thing prevents Speaker McCarthy from holding Garland, Wray, Mayorkas... and every other administrative hack in Contempt of Congress and REMANDING THEM TO THE CAPITOL JAIL. I would start with 90 days Solitary.
Congress has ALL the power in washington, the executive and judicial branch operate according to the whims of CONGRESS!
“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.
That is crap.
Executive Privilege can’t be revoked by successor.
How much is the Meritless Garland getting in graft?
Impeachment my ass.
Nothing is going to happen. Nothing happened in 2020 when they obviously installed themselves.
Nothing will happen now.
Is Newsom in the bullpen yet?
OK, and now what happens?
