No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!
CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!
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.

He’s a loyal communist.
Lordie, Lordie .. how I wish I didn’t know who Sid Blumenthal is. Maybe the worst of the worst. Not a gram of redeeming social value. Worse than Carvillle, the Forehead, Podesta, even Bill Clinton himself, combined.
He very nearly took out Drudge...he is PURE EVIL.
Short answer to those "questions"...
Of course it benefited his private dealings, you idiots!
Makes you wonder how much of the money he made on all his ventures was actually reported to the IRS.
Sidney Blew-them-all ?
Who is he...he’s an old Clintonista hatchet man.
The NYT reports on Blumenthal's secret emails to Hillary (emails she did not want revealed):
<><> Blumenthal was on the payroll of the Clinton Foundation,
<><> at the same time Blumenthal was being paid by political groups aiding 2016 Clinton,
<><> at the same time he was advising a US business seeking Libyan contracts,
<><> at the same time he was secretly advising Secy of State Clinton about Libya.
====================================================
The crimes committed here are so numerous that they boggle even the most astute mind. Just for starters: Collusion, conspiracy, bribery, govt fraud, falsified documents, wire transfers, accounting fraud, misuse of govt position, etc, etc, etc.
In July of 1993, seventeen-year-old Leslie Rutherford lived near [Fort Marcy] Park. The day before Mr. Foster's death, Monday, July, 19, 1993, was an extremely hot and humid day. At around three o'clock that afternoon, Leslie was walking near the west border of Fort Marcy Park of Fort Marcy Park, having entered the park through one of the gaps in the Park's fence bordering the old road. Although investigators did not canvass the neighborhood, she came forward during the initial [Park Police] investigation because she remembered seeing a man wearing a suit walking through Fort Marcy, and "thought it was strange." The man she saw was in the section of the park where Mr. Foster's body was found the following day. When she looked in his direction, he immediately turned his head away. The only Park Police record of the strange man Leslie saw is found in handwritten notes of Investigator Renee Abt, recorded on July 24, 1993. The typewritten Park Police reports did not mention this man.
The FBI's Report of its interview with Leslie is dated May 17, 1994.
[A]t approximately 3:00 p.m. on July 19, 1993... [she] noticed at a distance of approximately 10 to 15 feet a white male walking by himself in a direction leading from the George Washington Memorial Parkway into the northeast section of the park. She stated what caught her attention was that this white male, in spite of the heat, was dressed in a dark suit, white shirt, and a red neck tie. [She] further described this white male as being in his early 40's, dark hair, approximately 180 pounds, and slightly over 6 foot in height... This white male had no facial hair nor was he wearing eyeglasses. She further stated that when she noticed this white male, he immediately looked away from her and therefore she could furnish no additional details relative to his facial characteristics. In a further attempt to determine the height of this white male, it was [the interviewee's] opinion that he was slightly over 6 foot [sic] tall, but did not approach 6 foot 4 inches in height. [The interviewee] was exhibited photographs of Mr. Foster but she was unable to make any determination as to whether these photographs resembled the white male she saw at the park on July 19, 1993.
Could the man in the suit seen at Ft. Marcy Park be none other than Sidney Blumenthal? Sex, race, hair color, height and weight all matched, and Blumenthal is known to wear suits and sometimes red ties in business environments. Although he commonly wears eyeglasses, he has been photographed without eyeglasses at times. Needless to say, Sid has the background and history consistent with participating in a plot such as this.
And who is his son, Max Blumenthal?
Max Blumenthal (born December 18, 1977) is an American author, journalist, and blogger. A senior writer for Alternet and formerly a writer for The Daily Beast and Al Akhbar, he is the author of Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel (2013).[
He used to work for the progressive organization Media Matters for America, and he is the son of long-time Clinton advisor Sidney Blumenthal.

Clinton Adviser Sid Blumenthal’s New Cause: His Son’s Anti-Israel Book
WASHINGTON — A veteran confidant of Hillary Clinton has waded into a bitter argument over the explosive topic of Israel, defending his son’s intensely anti-Israel book from a liberal critic.
Sidney Blumenthal, a former New Yorker writer turned Clinton adviser from the White House to the 2008 campaign, has been waging an online campaign against Nation columnist Eric Alterman for negatively reviewing his son Max Blumenthal’s book, Goliath. The book was described by Alterman, himself a frequent critic of Israel, as “awful” and something that “could have been published by the Hamas Book-of-the-Month Club (if it existed).”
Clinton Foundation officials refused to respond to questions of whether the elder Blumenthal is currently on a Clinton payroll.
His son’s book has received little attention in the mainstream press but has proved extremely controversial in the corners of the Internet devoted to debate over Israel; its repeated comparisons of Israeli Jews to Nazis have particularly inflamed several commentators. The author is a prominent figure on the hard left of the Israel debate who has argued in the past that the “non-indigenous” majority of Israelis should not remain in the country now known as Israel. The book was released under the Nation Books imprint and an excerpt of it ran in The Nation.
In a follow-up blog post after the initial review, Alterman wrote that he had become the target of emails sent around by Blumenthal to friends and associates as a result of his review of the book.
“I attribute to these friendly relations the fact that until now, Sid Blumenthal had not seen fit to make me the object of any of the unflattering e-mails he so often sends around to journalists and others — myself included — about individuals of whom he disapproves,” Alterman wrote. “Privately, I worried that by telling the truth about his son’s book, I would soon hear of nasty e-mails about me sent by Sid to our mutual friends and professional acquaintances. Call it ‘bizarre,’ if you will, but sadly, that’s just what happened.”
BuzzFeed obtained one of the Blumenthal emails from a source; it features a copied-and-pasted article from the anti-Zionist blog Mondoweiss, sent with the subject line “Fact-checking Eric Alterman on ‘Goliath.’” The article in question, by writer Phan Nguyen, calls on The Nation to retract Alterman’s review, describes Alterman as an “unreliable narrator,” and states that he has “undermined his self-proclaimed status as a conscientious critic of the Israeli occupation.”
Mondoweiss is edited by former New York Observer writer Philip Weiss, who has carved out a niche in making an allegation that is, for most American critics of Israel, beyond the pale, the charge of undue Jewish influence on American foreign policy.
Alterman declined to provide any of the emails in question to BuzzFeed, saying that he does not share private emails. It is unclear how many of them were sent; Alterman declined to comment on the number or specific content of the emails.
Blumenthal’s list is a longstanding feature of the elite media landscape, a mix of liberal journalists, academics, and former Clinton administration officials, and has intermittently been the subject of controversy.
“The thing about Sidney is that he’s absolutely obsessed with his enemies and his way of communicating and dealing with his obsession is that he sends out emails to this very elite list of liberal journalists mostly,” said one source who has been on Blumenthal’s list.
The list has “ended friendships” at its most contentious moments, the source said, including an incident during the 2008 campaign when Blumenthal was accused of sending a photo of Barack Obama in African garb — an image that Matt Drudge promptly posted alongside the charge that it had come from Clinton’s campaign.
Blumenthal did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Blumenthal’s current role in the Clinton universe is unclear. In the bio on his author page on the Atlantic’s website, he is described as an “adviser” to the Clinton Foundation, Bill and Hillary Clinton’s non-profit. Several phone calls and emails to the Clinton Foundation seeking clarification on Blumenthal’s role in the organization went unanswered. A BuzzFeed reporter who went to the Clinton Foundation’s offices in New York on Tuesday seeking the organization’s most recent IRS 990 form was turned away.
“We don’t know what you’re referring to,” said Clinton Foundation spokesperson Nick Merill when asked about the emails and whether Hillary Clinton is aware of Blumenthal’s defense of Goliath. He copied Clinton spokespeople Philippe Reines and Matt McKenna on his response to BuzzFeed, as well as Sidney Blumenthal.
Blumenthal has been a divisive figure in the Clintons’ circle since the 1990s, a trusted counselor seen by some of his colleagues and rivals as a source of paranoia. He came close to being appointed to a job in the State Department during Obama’s first term before then-White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel nixed the appointment based on Blumenthal’s role in formulating negative attacks on Obama during the 2008 primaries. Sources familiar with the Clinton world say he’s become an increasingly marginal figure in recent years, though still talks to Hillary Clinton.
Emails alleged to be from Blumenthal that were made public earlier this year suggest that he was in communication with Clinton on matters relating to Benghazi and other national security issues this year.
The latest flap comes as the Clintons gird for another political campaign, and as their circle maneuvers for advantage.
“Do you think Chelsea went and cleaned up the operation at the Foundation only to have those kinds of people slip back in to the operation? And that was before Sid was going around defending a book comparing Israel to Nazis that his kid wrote,” said a Washington Democrat who has worked for both Clintons. “Given the lessons of Hillary 2008, people would be aghast to see him around for 2016.”
Reached for comment on the email flap, Alterman said he understood why Blumenthal would want to defend his son’s book.
“I actually feel for Sid,” Alterman said. “Leaving aside the quality of Max’s journalism, it has to be painful for any Jew to see your own kid going around calling Jews ‘Nazis’ and ‘fascists,’ and insisting that not only should Israel be destroyed, but its Jewish population should be kicked out.”
