That’s fine. Could we please have some federal marshals bring Hillary in?
I believe the KFC spelled out lettering is from when the buckets were black and white, but the red is from when the buckets just used the KFC letters, so the bucket is a created prop for a TV skit.
Does the Sergeant-of-Arms of the House of Representatives have any jurisdiction off the Capitol grounds? I’m guessing not. If so, AG Barr can tell him to get the hell out of my office and if the sergeant-of-arms tries to forcefully remove him, AG Barr could summon an FBI agent to arrest him for attempted kidnapping. Wouldn’t that be fun?
Can this fool really be that stupid?
Last time I heard the Sgt-at-Arms cannot bring individuals into the House off of the street, let alone abduct them from the Justice Building.
Barr's the one with the upper hand here, not Nadler. Nadler is just an inept tool of the democRATS. Barr is knows how to handle himself.
Dude looks like Gollum.
Nope.
“As an elected officer of the House of Representatives, the Sergeant at Arms is the chief law enforcement and protocol officer of the House of Representatives, and is responsible for maintaining order in the House side of the United States Capitol complex. The Sergeant at Arms reviews and implements all issues relating to the safety and security of Members of Congress and the Capitol complex. The Sergeant at Arms also coordinates extensively with the U.S. Capitol Police and various intelligence agencies to assess threats against Members of Congress and the Capitol complex.
Duties include overseeing the House floor and galleries, the House Appointments Desk, the House garages and parking lots, as well as administering all staff identification badges.” (Sergeant At Arms.gov)
I had to google that. I found this and it seems to be fully researched.
Specifically, the House could “direct the sergeant-at-arms to arrest the witness, try her in the House, and upon conviction, place her in detention in a House facility until she either complied with the subpoena or the term of the Congress expired, whichever came first.”74 This option has the advantage of not relying on any other branch of government, but it is one that Congress “has not employed . . . in over seventy years.” 75Moreover, because detention cannot extend beyond a particular session of Congress,76 a particularly recalcitrant witness could simply choose to remain in detention until the end of a session and thereby avoid testifying.

They stopped doing that because a "civil suit in district court in the face of Executive Branch officials’ refusal to turn over documents or appear before a committee based on assertions of executive privilege" works better.
Go ahead, make my day!
That chicken had to suffer the indignity of being eaten through Cohen’s rear end.
I doubt the democRATS are so stupid they would try to arrest the AG to force him to testify.
The American people would look at that and reelect Trump in a heartbeat.
Crazy democRATS jumping the shark again.
However, at least one individual—Hallet Kilbourn, a well-to-do real estate speculator—was remanded to the District of Columbia’s Common Jail. Kilbourn’s case provides an amusing and historically important example of an uncooperative witness.
Just wait.
Attorney General Barr will have them arrested for suborning a federal crime. Releasing grand jury information is a crime, they are committing assault against him by trying to force him to commit a crime.
Pretty factual, black and white, no drama.. if they try to force Barr, off to jail they should go.
I’d say it’s more of a friar tuck that is badly in need of trimming
Cohen is Lunatic Surpremo cum laud! However, his district is largely Democratic and black so that explains a lot.
His insanity is on par with Maxine Waters, Cummings, Johnson, Clyburn, and Sheila Lee Jackson’s. They are like a box of nuts coated in LSD, just not as smart, but twice as dangerous to all human life.
The next time ChickenHawk Cohen eats chicken, I hope he chokes on it. Would do humanity a great favor.
“What an absolute jackass but don’t you love the mullet?”
He reminds me of the Undertaker in “Phantasm”
A common citizen is not a member of a co-equal branch of government like the AG is, also this is a political fight between two equal branches of government, this is not a legal fight. There are only three remedies available to Congress in these kinds of fights: one - the power of the purse, they can deny the executive branch the money it needs to perform its functions. 2 - The power to impeach and remove from office those executive branch officers denying Congress what it wants. 3 - Make it an issue in the next election and try to persuade the electorate to elect a different President next time. The Constitution bars these kinds of internecine fights between the branches of government from being considered criminal for obvious reasons; one of which is they did not want people denied their rights by being thrown in jail for political and policy disputes between politicians, those are never to be considered criminal in nature.
Thanks for responding. I learned something.
