Why do we have a Congress?
It`s a decoration.
When you politicize a government agency, a specialty of Obama, the opportunity for corruption and graft becomes enormous as in irresistible.

Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court

CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish.
Congress can declare WAR
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.

Ya think?
I can’t imagine where the DoJ thinks they get the power to withhold this information from the IG.
Why would Congress have created such a position?
Yet one more proof that this government is an out of control criminal operation, beholden to no one except themselves.
Welcome to the New Socialist Caliphate of the Western Hemisphere.
Let's just get the government to start rounding up and killing anyone who disagrees with them.
Let's get this party started.
