"Petty contempt of court?"

How would The Squad feel about people willfully defying contempt of Congress charges?

This lawyer was found guilty of paying bribes to Ecuadorian officials to falsify testimony and deliver a guilty verdict. He then took that crooked verdict to American courts to try to enforce it against Big Oil.

Now, The Squad wants him freed from jail in their quest to further attack the energy producers in America.

Reminds me of a story told by Paul Harvey.
This lady had a bumper crop in her vegetable garden and decided to share the bounty with the neighborhood. She set a table out front with a sign reading, "Free Zucchini."

An elderly neighbor happened by and raising his cane shouted, "Free Zucchini nuttin'. I say shoot da bum!"

Not only should he remain in jail for the rest of his term, he should be sent to complete it in the Uighur concentration camps in China since these Democrats love China so well.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib...

[ChronicMA]

“willfully” defying court orders, including by failing to turn over his computer and other devices.

that sounds similar to what they accuse Trump and his associates of doing. I guess she must be fine with Trump’s actions.

You mean like petty contempt of Congress asked Steve B.

[marktwain]

Steven Donziger should be held personally liable for every dime the oil companies had to pay to fight this insane lawsuit.

[Navy Patriot]

Nine U.S. House Democrats have asked the Justice Department to release American environmental lawyer Steven Donziger ...The disbarred lawyer was handed a six-month imprisonment sentence in October for criminal contempt arising from a lawsuit...

Considering the Ethics of the petitioners and the Lawyer, Justice would be served if the sentence was increased to Six Years.

The question that is never asked is......Is congress contemptable?

If so, is the charge of contempt of a contemptable congress justified and punishable?

If it wasn’t for companies like Chevron AOC couldn’t plug in her electric car but she’s too stupid to know that 🤪

[Honest Nigerian]

think about it this way.
Biden could pardon the guy? Wouldn’t that send a message?
Not sure WHAT kind of message, but .....
This is just some nutty congress-holes doing a PR stunt to raise money for their re-election campaigns.

The Democrats including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib...

I stopped right there.
