Contempt of Congress
(Those found in Contempt of Congress are referred to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Prosecution)
Under the law, Congress has the authority to “compel” people to comply with subpoenas. They can even use the Sergeant at Arms to seize subpoenaed records and even arrest subjects if they hinder an investigation. Subpoenaed witnesses who refuse to testify can even be incarcerated in a jail cell beneath Congress and they can be kept there until they agree to comply or the current Congress ends (which would be in January).
Individuals who are held in Contempt of Congress are referred directly to the US Attorney’s Office for prosecution and if none of this works, Congress has the ultimate power to impeach government officials to remove them from office entirely.
Rosenstein is defying Congress because he knows that Paul Ryan won’t let anyone touch him. This man is in charge the witch hunt against President Trump — where Mueller is desperately searching for something to get the President with — and yet Rosenstein himself if flagrantly violating the law.
Clean House. Get Ryan out, get Jordan in....ASAP.
FWIW, Stealth Jeff (Sessions) posted:
If my 'slow rollout' theory is correct, after months of threatening Rosenstein with impeachment, the time finally arrived to hit him with an actual impeachment bill in the House. Now Rosenstein can do his part & play scared & suddenly cough up everything.
This will actually PREVENT Trump from having to take the step himself of declassifying everything. He gets to stay out of it, and DNC Media doesn't get to attack him for 'interfering' with the DOJ/FBI.
