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 answered, “Yes. Because otherwise, it’s up to the Justice Department. The Justice Department is not going to do anything to take a contempt citation from us, and enforce it against their boss. So, you’ve got

Steve Cohen pounds table.
Fantastic! Had to look at what he was eating a second time before it clicked.
Now who’s being a Fascist?
This that the dems have been trying to pull off, is not how gov works. This is damned serious destruction to get their way. Barr is not taking another day of their desperate obnoxious behavior. No one should.
If it happens, is Cohen then a combatant?
Because if it happens, and I was him, I'd wipe that greasy smile off my face and find a hole to hide in...
One would have to have a very cynical view of the human race to vote for someone like that.
It is called the 2 party system, where two gangs get exclusive opportunities to loot the treasury, battle each other, and keep other interlopers out.
Occasionally an interloper like Trump slips through.
There is no Constitutional justification for this two party system . - Tom
That wouldn’t be very wise Steve.
Screw procedure. First the sentence, then the indictment....

The Politburo was at least honest in what they were doing. The House Democrats - not so much. They simply do not have the stomach to be completely ruthless.
Eric Holder says hi.
But according to what I have read, arresting no-show, uncooperative witnesses by the House Sergeant at Arms of the United States House of Representatives is allowed under law. And it has been done before.
But whether that will ever happen in this standoff between Nadler and Barr, is open for speculation.
One of the biggest a**holes in Congress.
And that’s really saying something, because the House and the Senate are loaded with these scumbags.
FU Cohen!
What an absolute jackass but don’t you love the mullet?
What a loser. Tennessee surely could have done better.
Panic smells like smoky old cooking grease? OK, it probably does.
Bravado by an incompetent loser
Cohen did not go look at the unredacted Mueller Report because he lacks
the reading comprehension skills to understand it
how do we Americans manage to elect such utter ahole idiots to “our” Congress?
