On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” House Judiciary Committee member Steve Cohen (D-TN) stated that if Attorney General William Barr doesn’t comply with the committee’s subpoenas, the committee has “no other alternative” but to use the sergeant at arms to bring Barr to the House.

Cohen said, “I hope it would be inherent contempt. Because in inherent contempt, we’d go out, take him, and bring him in, and have him personally brought to the House.”

Host Anderson Cooper asked, “You actually want to send out the sergeant at arms and force the attorney general to come?”

Cohen, Nadler, and Schiff: the Three Putzkateers.

Meanwhile, he’s proposing something that isn’t going to happen. The House Sargent at Arms is not going to bring in the AG. The Dem base is in an abusive relationship with their media and elected officials. Their hopes just keep getting dashed. Lucy keeps pulling the football away.

Those guns were given with the actual knowledge and intent that they be used to perpetrate mass murder and mayhem, thereby undermining support for the 2d Amendment. IOW, it was a murder scheme from the get go. That makes Holder a mass murderer.

They can bring him, but they can’t force him to speak.

It will happen, they are will arrest him because it’s all about optics now.

Why can’t Barr get a Judge to tell them that Barr doesn’t have to appear to talk to House staff lawyers.

And if he refuses, can they have him jailed in the capital jail and fine him right for being uncooperative?

Does the “sergeant at arms” have jurisdiction outside the Congressional chamber?

Can’t this clown be fined for using a Congressional Hearing to advertise for KFC? Isn’t there some law about Congress critters endorsing products while engaged in official business while on national TV?

This isn't the first stupid stunt this doofus has been involved in.   A quick search brought up at least a couple more stories (linked below) demonstrating this nut's pervasive lunacy.

so tell us, Cohen. Let’s say you ‘bring him in’. And he states 5th Amendment protection. Now whatca gonna do? Nuthin. Cohen’s a joke and his state should be ashamed of him.
