After contempt citation, articles of impeachment hearings on Barr and other admin officials and let it play out in front of the american people. Nothing like watching the scum take the "5th" to every question

(32,640 posts)Democrats could turn to the courts to enforce the subpoena.
Or they could take matters into their own hands and call their sergeant at arms.
.........................................................................................
Berman: From your point of view, would you personally support and advocate this move, which in modern times is unprecedented, to have the attorney general arrested by the sergeant at arms? Would you personally advocate that?
Raskin: Well, no, nobody has advocated that specifically. But I just want to make sure that we have all instruments on the table, and we should be aware that Congress has inherent powers of contempt that can relate to fines, orders, as well as arrests. But I, you know, nobodys calling for that at this point.

I find it deeply disturbing that the media gives anything coming from her any attention. They do us a disservice reporting anything she says without at least coming with a disclaimer that by admitting she lies, she has made herself an unreliable source of any information.

Take off the gloves and fight like Democracy depends on it.
