House Democrats are threatening the salaries of Interior, Commerce and Justice Department staff if they block ongoing committee investigations.
House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) sent letters Tuesday calling for eight current and former Trump administration officials to provide information for two of the panels investigations, cautioning that officials who block the interviews from taking place could see their salaries withheld.
I’d say even the threat of withholding salaries is criminal.....aka.....Blackmail
“Reme,ber their tactics and it should e made clear...”
teemany martoonies?
Time for a lawsuit.
Sic Semper Tyrannis
All signs point to the Dems profound terror regarding whats about to hit the fan.
ANY CHRISTIAN that VOTES for DEMOCRATS are JUST AS BAD!
It appears to have already hit the back of their adult diapers....
Lotta people gotta go to jail!
Trump is a multi-billionaire...so there’s that.
I guess there is no bottom to their hatred.
Somebody on the house Judiciary Committee is eitheer drunk with power or gone insame.
Elijah needs to focus on the s-hole district he represents.
Poor democrats. They are just starting to figure out that the House has no power whatsoever by itself. The Senate can confirm Presidential appointments without the House, but the House cannot do bupkis without the Senate.
These people are insane.
Could that be . . . EXTORTION???
In the meantime, they want the officials to talk to their idjit staffers instead of them. Similar to how the Republiwussies had a female interlocutor asking Christine Crazy Ford questions during her “testimony.”
I think it is about time to launch a special counsel into the Democrats Rape Payout Slush Fund.
According to US News & World Report there are several prominent misconceptions regarding employers withholding paychecks. Many people believe their bosses have the right to delay or reduce payment based on allegations of poor performance. However, federal law prevents employers from withholding or docking pay based on performance under any circumstances. Additionally, employers cannot withhold paychecks in the event that an employee damages company equipment. Some states force employers who are late in delivering paychecks to pay additional funds as a penalty for being late.
What the HELL do the damn Dems care if they have to pay penalties its OUR money they dont give a damn about penalties!!!!!
And these are the ones we put in charge of our healthcare?
We must have quite a death wish.
well, Congress appropriates funds BUT the Executive Branch has many many many MANY millions of dollars available in multiple accounts that can (and will) cover a few workers’ wages
(and such redirections or subventions are perfectly legal, authorized by Congress and already in the law, for a number of accounts) so...
not to worry...
this is all must more of the DNC’s Big Lie and Propaganda Bullsheit Blitzkreig
