🚨 JUST NOW: Sen. Rand Paul says he's working on a plan to BYPASS Senate Democrats and go DIRECTLY to the DOJ with Contempt of Congress findings for Fauci

This would BLOCK Democrats from filibustering Fauci's contempt charge, and put it IMMEDIATELY in the hands of the DOJ

THIS IS THE WAY! 🔥

[Publius]

Maybe 1953 when Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were hanged?

Electrocuted, not hanged.

[DJ Frisat]

This time, we REALLY got him... 🙄

[SmokingJoe]

People have been cited for contempt, referred, indicted, and even initially convicted after asserting the Fifth (or after committees rejected the claim).

[DJ Frisat]

"I would say stop announcing your plans and just do it."

I can't count the number of times I've written those words here...

[Fledermaus]

And it’s hanged

[Paladin2]

I thought Paul shoulda showed some clips of Fauci [falsely] calling out Paul in previous dustups in The Senate.

[Williams]

Oh please. For taking the 5th?

[Paladin2]

Spot welded to the Universe?

"Electrocuted, not hanged."

I stand corrected. Same result.

I was thinking about Save Ferris' earlier post about the Spandau Ballet. Not the music group.

Spandau prison in Berlin where we hung nazis after WWII. Some danced.

[Omnivore-Dan]

Who actually pardoned Fauci? Biden or the autopen? If it was the autopen, who was behind it? Questions, questions.

[Fledermaus]

Hanged

[Veto!]

They should just hire a hitman ...

[Vendome]

Department of Just Us will not pursue anything meaningful....

[Vendome]

Zactly

[SmokingJoe]

Why'd he invoke the 5th 111 times since he claims he's been “pardoned”?

[SmokingJoe]

Why not?

[odawg]

“No controlling authority/no standing”

Your facility with legal terminology is not quite up to par.

Controlling legal authority - the House

Standing - obstructing House investigation

[KitJ]

Roger.

We hanged nazis. We didn’t hung them.

(snicker)

[al baby]

Autopen makes all that moot

[NFHale]

Seriously…

You don’t tell the enemy your plans ahead of time. That’s just stupid.
