House will vote ‘soon’ to hold Barr, Ross in criminal contempt over citizenship question

Pelosi announces plans for full House vote in dear colleague letter, also outlining legislative steps to protect migrants

The House will “soon” vote to hold Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary William Ross in contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas for documents explaining the administration’s rationale for wanting to add a citizenship question to the census, Speaker Nancy Pelosi wrote in a “Dear Colleague” letter on Monday.

The Oversight and Reform Committee last month approved a contempt resolution against Barr and Ross that included language to refer the matter to the U.S. attorney in Washington for possible criminal charges, as well as authorize the pursuit of a lawsuit.

The Justice and Commerce departments have provided the Oversight Committee with some documents on the citizenship question while withholding others over claims of executive privilege.

The House, in a floor vote the day before the Oversight contempt markup, already gave all committees the authority to file lawsuits to enforce their subpoenas.

That means a floor vote is not needed for Democrats to try to get a court order forcing Barr and Ross to hand over the outstanding documents they requested.

“Congress will be dissolved and tried for treason.” ...???

I call you out for making an absurd statement and I’m a asshole?

Tell me how that all works? Dissolving Congress ?

Hint: It’s not absurd if you know what is all behind the Jeffery Epstein arrest, who his clients were, what has been going on in the US for the last 30 years and especially what has been happening for the last three years.

Learn to think critically and carefully about what these events mean. I am not going to spoonfeed you.

Critical thinking isn’t something found in abundance on here.

OTOH, “What time does ‘Old Country Buffet” open?” generates many, many responses...

I am very well aware of the background information. So you are telling me to think critically all the while you are telling me Congress will be dissolved and be charged with treason...

Thats rich...

Again genius, I will ask how does the Congress get dissolved and who will bring treason charges?

Do I need to spoonfeed you why that can’t happen?

No! The AG and SC, IG offices are going to bring the charges. There is also issues of voter fraud being investigated by a special task force and other entities. This whole scenario adds up to to a hostile take over of the govt by criminals and domestic enemies. The way this is dealt with is elementary.

Who is going to dissolve Congress?

You made that claim?

It’s a simple question, why can’t you answer it?

The POTUS, DOJ and military will because martial law is going to be a necessity.

Here is a little story from the lefties complaining about the policies which reports on things people in the communities have known about for a long time now:

“...Wait till Congress gets dissolved and charged with treason. ...”

I just did a word search in the Constitution and couldn’t find the word dissolve? Must be hiding behind late Justice William O. Douglas ‘s penumbra!

Will they use acid or is Congress naturally soluble in water?

Why don’t you use disband instead?

It will be ?

Pretty simple to me...instead of declaring M L...just arrest the ones committing treason....

so you think if POTUS, DOJ and the military can dissolve Congress and the country will roll over like good doggies ?

I think you need a reality check....

Ok disband

How?

You going to be Cromwell?
Walk in and say “You have set here to long ...”!

How Constitutionally do you do that?
Do it extra-constitutionally?

This is a reality check for you Mr. Perfect. Arresting the members of the gov’t committing treason and other crimes committing treason is a considerable number because the rot and corruption runs real deep. It is going to bring out the violent behavior from dissidents to begin with. There are enough groups like Antifa, BLM etc that will do this guaranteed. So disbanding Congress is going to be a temporary precaution and necessity because they will not have a representative body that can function under these circumstances in a competent manner. Are you going to get up in arms and do something? I think not. Because if you do you will be arrested, hurt or worse.

Once you sent them all packing.

I guess we get a new constitution much better then the old one. People vote and they send either the old politicians back or some just like them. You personally I guess keep them from being seated. Maybe you going to restrict voting in some way to stop that? Get new voters? Get the right numbers of voters until they vote right?

You and William Ayers have much in common!

This is a long term solution Bubba and I think we may not vote fully for some time. The rotten commie Bill Ayers has nothing in common with patriots but ruthlessness has long been a part of our nationalists character. Think about what happened with our expansion west and what happened to make our section of North America to be the continental USA.

Another keyboard commando!

As Bugs would say “What a maroon!”

Go off and wallow in your own personal viciousness and don’t bother me!

Not a keyboard commando but someone who knows what’s going on and involved. You are the keyboard commando for sure and I bet you are affiliated with well meaning political affiliations who are not equipped to deal with these issues for what they are. Contemplate what’s going on in nation and get your head out of the place where the sun does not shine! The days of easy fix are over because the cancer of socialism/communism has metastasized too much in our nation. Sad but true.
