On that last note, couldn’t the oil executive have pled the 5th amendment—right to remain silent?

I’d hate to see a democrat Congress force someone to answer particular questions (not just appear)...

To Grill Bragg would feed five prides of lions.

.

It would be a Culture Shock for them to enforce a Subpoena.

Surrender Monkeys with about 3 exceptions.

3 out of 270

Wasn’t that one of the democrats’ main reasons to impeach Trump the first time?

He had asked Zelensky to “get” Joe Biden. Referencing Adam Schitt’s little on-mic fairy tale.

“I have a favor I want from you,” Schiff said while appearing to read from a paper. “And I’m going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? Lots of it, on this and on that.”

I still have no idea why Trump hasn’t started a 3rd party. Republicans are going extinct and good luck attracting new blood into their club. Young leftists are in the street while the handful of young conservatives hide in the shadows for fear of being beaten up. Their House of cards can’t collapse soon enough for me.

Yea, it would have been simpler if Trump had just made a citizens arrest of Bragg for the felony of releasing the indictment illegally.

Subpoena Bragg.

Go after him hard about illegal murder in NYC.

Go after him hard about illegal rape in NYC.

Go after him hard about illegal robbery in NYC.

Go after him hard about illegal parking in handicapp parking spaces in NYC.

If he lies to Congress under oath . . . no man is above the law.

No. Republicans are mostly engaged in political theater. They don’t even have a platform anymore. Their platform is “Look at Me”. They want sound bytes that play well in campaign ads and they want frequent appearances on Fox News. They also want you to send money. Send money to their campaigns. Send money to the RNC. If you can’t send money, then at least follow them on Twitter. They can raise money off of viral video clips.

Why enforce a subpoena? The House controls federal funding. Just cut off all federal funds to any state or federal agency that may have transferred federal money to Bragg’s office. They will soon be begging to come to Congress to testify.

Yes it is. Subpoena him and if he refuses to testify order the DOJ to haul him in and if Garland refuses then impeach him.

It’s called application of power and it’s high time this gets used to right the ship.

In regards it impeaching Garland, there still is that 2/3’rds Senate vote for conviction & removal problem!

Let Florida indict Biden on aiding and abetting child sex trafficking charges and see if Garland stays out of it.

It is clear that although many in the GOP as well as among conservatives acknowledge the reality that we are in a war with the Democrat/Communist Party and the American Left, they really don't believe it and truly don't mean it.

Perhaps this is because they don't understand that in a war -- in this case, a fight to the finish where there is only one victor -- you must be prepared, you must have the solid determination and commitment and courage to do whatever it takes -- whatever it takes -- to win that war ... especially when it is clear that the formidable enemy is doing just that.

If you truly believe we are in a war for the preservation of our Republic, our Constitution and our American way of life, you have only two options: You must fight; you must do whatever it takes to defeat the enemy ... or you must get out of the way of those in the political trenches who are dedicated to doing just that ... where the fighting is "down and dirty" and where weakness and subterfuge is not, cannot be tolerated or debated.

War is a dirty business ... but it also can be noble. I think that, unlike those in the Democrat/Communist Party, far too many of the political leaders on "our side" just don't have what it takes to fight -- and to prevail -- in this hot war with the Left who is out to destroy and replace with a communist "ideal" our Republic. When such weakness is displayed in the ranks of the Democrat/Communist Party it is quickly crushed out of existence: Nothing -- absolutely nothing is allowed to interfere in any way with the Left's tyrannical and evil objective to destroy the American Republic.

As distasteful this reality may sound in a discussion in a comfortable den over a high-quality single-malt, it is precisely what it will take to defeat this mortal enemy who will clearly do -- as they did quite successfully in 2020 -- whatever it takes -- no matter the cost to our society, to our government and to American citizens -- to stop Donald Trump from being re-elected. They will do whatever it takes ... and it's about damn time our leaders realize and accept this fact.

Arrest him for the felony of releasing the indictment illegally. Trump blew his chance of making citizens arrest of Bragg when he went in to be ‘arrested’.

Well, I would hope so, since they are fake women! :-)

“It is clear that although many in the GOP as well as among conservatives acknowledge the reality that we are in a war with the Democrat/Communist Party and the American Left, they really don’t believe it and truly don’t mean it.”

No. It’s political theater. Most of it has always been political theater. Remember all the votes in the HOR to repeal Obamacare? That was when its repeal had no chance to pass. But, when Republicans did have the power to repeal it, what happened then? And then you quit hearing about Obamacare because the GOP quit talking about needing the votes to repeal it. It’s the same with almost every single issue. The Pols play to their fanbase like professional wrestlers. They talk tough. They threaten. They promise things that they know will never happen. But mostly, they raise money. Send Money. I’m a fighter. See me on Twitter enraging the liberals. Send Money so I can keep enraging them. We can’t provide many electoral or legislative successes, but we can Own Libs. Send Money.
