Congress does not rely upon any other Branch to enforce punishment of those who obstruct it’s business.
DOJ and FBI are agencies of the Executive Branch.
Ignoring a Congressional subpoena is Contempt of Congress and subjects the person to arrest by the Sargent at Arms.
Holder has been found in Contempt by the House, the House could direct its Sargent at Arms to arrest Holder wherever he is found.
“Ignoring a Congressional subpoena is Contempt of Congress and subjects the person to arrest by the Sargent at Arms.”
My question still stands, Ray76: What does the Congressional sergeant at arms do if the FBI blocks his entry into the DOJ to arrest Holder?
You’re assuming that this criminal executive branch follows the law, but every indication shows otherwise. The EPA bureaucrats are breaking the law. The IRS refuses to obey the law. The FBI is in open revolt against their lawful charter. The fascist NSA should be attacked by the 101st Airborne and arrested or shot.
We are dealing with a completely lawless leftist bureaucracy that has been unleashed by the criminal obuma. You best have more than a sergeant at arms to bring these fascist bureaucrats to heel.
Holder has been found in Contempt by the House, the House could direct its Sargent at Arms to arrest Holder wherever he is found.
I believe the House Sergeant At Arms' authority to arrest and detain persons does not extend beyond the boundaries of Capitol Hill.
I.e., he can't walk into the DOJ and handcuff the bastard.
