Attorney General Merrick Garland said this week that he will defy subpoenas from Congressional Republicans that he does not agree with.

Garland’s statement came after Republican leaders in Congress threatened to hold him in contempt “in their efforts to gain access to audio recordings from special counsel Robert K. Hur’s investigation into President Biden’s handling of classified materials,” according to the Washington Post.

Amen. Bust down the door, rampage through house, cuff him, ensure lots of cameras capture the handcuffed disgraced AG being stuffed into the car. Rampage through the house to collect evidence.

"The Republicans are not serious about opposing Biden in any way."

Can't...too compramized. Ask UP-Chuck Schumer.. "They have a thousand ways to get back at you."

Hmmm... That should have been compromised....I think.

This is a great example of the defiant behavior that has convinced me the left believes they will never have to relinquish power.

From this to biden ignoring the SCOTUS on student loan debt to more than likely putting their key political opponent in jail.

I’m beginning to wonder if we will ever see another republican president in the foreseeable future.

People have noted that the Sergeant At Arms can make arrests, but I’m not finding that info anywhere.

SENATE Sergeant At Arms can arrest someone if violating Rules, but I don’t know if that only applies to Senators, or to anyone.

GOP reps are either compromised, playing for the other side, or frightened by the media.

[MayflowerMadam]

Or just basically ignorant.

Don’t forget the leg irons.

"A proceeding was held at the bar of the House, and on January 4, 1796, the House, by a vote of 78-17, adopted a resolution finding Mr. Randall guilty of “a contempt to, and a breach of the privileges of, this House by attempting to corrupt the integrity of its Members in the manner laid to his charge.”33 The House ordered Mr. Randall to be brought to the bar, reprimanded by the Speaker, and held in custody until further resolution of the House.34 Mr. Randall was detained until January 13, 1796, when he was discharged by House resolution. Mr. Whitney, on the other hand, was absolved of any wrongdoing as the House determined that his actions were against a “member-elect,” and had taken place “away from the seat of government.”35"

Knowing the Republicans, they’ll refer this case the Justice Department, where the Attorney General will get to decide as to whether prosecution is merited.

The OTHER OPTION, as I understand it, is to have the Capitol Police jail him. That would be something, from a shoe-in Supreme Court nominee, to a jailbird. But I’m just dreaming...back to Option 1 it is.
