Or else...WHAT? Nunes should have House police arrest Rosenstein, and Trump should allow it.
Or nunez will taunt them a second time? I could see it if Nobama were still scoffing at the law, but why are demands and deadlines needed now?
And finally, is there anything more impotent than a congressional investigative committee?
In the grand tradition of Issa and Gowdy, and now Sessions—don’t make anyone mad, boys.
And what will be the next “Deadline”. Bring out your Dogs and Ponies!
Mines had better be prepared for Rosenstein to call his bluff.
I have a hard time getting around my brain that sessions is the head of the justice department and the hold overs in our government are able to run circles around him... he is powerless in the face of opposition. sessions is as weak a person in the place he was appointed to, as any I’ve ever seen.
Bongino on Hannity tonight speaks about how I feel about all this.. and the democrat on, isn’t upset... of course he isn’t.. just let it play out.. if it had been obama he wouldn’t let it play out... This is a nest of criminals running things and “let it play out?” There are no words!
I heard 2 say tonight that we are angry out here... very angry. .. at the media .. at mueller.. at all that is going on .. the attacks against the President... and we will vote. that is correct! we are not taking this like they evidently think we are taking it... we are not turning against Trump.. we are taking names...
To see what is going on and to see congress not be upset about it... except for a few repubs.. Nunez is one.. he’s going after them.. it’s about time. Gowdy is way too laid back and too trusting of his “friends” in congress letting this go on and on.. too long.. they should have done something months ago... it took individuals not in congress to uncover all this.. for congress would have let it go.. no skin off their backs..
Stop giving them more time. It only shows a sign of weakness. $hit or get off the pot.
Am I the only one that believes that Nunes will never get the whole truth. Somethings are worth using bleechbit.
This withholding of evidence and reassignment of witnesses is clearly over the line and into criminal behavior.
Forget the Contempt of Congress pablum--untilize the power of the Capitol Police Force and physically remove the required material from the office buildings involved.
The documents are the property of the American people--they do not belong to the miscreants who are sitting on them.
Mr. Nunes, GO GET THOSE DOCUMENTS!

LOL... you "bitt" me to it.
Thanks for posting.
Too much late night fooling around for me last night.
Thanks for posting this to everyone to help America back again!
How many deadlines has he given them already?
Oh my goodness - another strongly worded letter?
How does the House enforce its demands?
Dog Meet Pony!!
Let me know when Speaker Ryan signs a whole Bunch of Arrest and Search Warrants and orders these quislings arrested by the Capitol Police.
Otherwise this is just part of the Big Show.
Congress has ALL the power in washington, the executive and judicial branch operate according to the whims of CONGRESS!
“U.S. CODE
TITLE 2—THE CONGRESS
CHAPTER 6—CONGRESSIONAL AND COMMITTEE PROCEDURE; INVESTIGATIONS
Sec. 193. Privilege of witnesses
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or otherwise render him infamous.”
Simply look up Hinds Precedents, especially chapters 53 and 51, and Cannon’s Precedents, especially chapters 184-185. You’ll find numerous detailed cases of Congress asserting its power, arresting people, holding them until they agreed to answer questions, and then releasing them. Some of these people did not refuse to appear, but simply failed to satisfactorily answer questions. One has to wonder how a previous Congress might have responded to Alberto Gonzales’s endless recitations of “I do not recall.”
Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
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.

In 1857, a New York Times reporter refused to say which members of Congress had asked him to get them bribes (protecting his “sources” just as various Judith Millers today protect the people who feed them proven lies that costs thousands of lives), so Congress locked him up until he answered and then banned him from Congress.
In 1924 an oil executive appeared but refused to answer certain questions, so the Senate held — literally held — him in contempt. Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana argued that this question of contempt was of the gravest importance, and that it involved “the very life of the effective existence of the House of Representatives of the United States and of the Senate of the United States.” The matter was taken to court, and the witness fined and imprisoned.
