| 15. Isn't the DC Metro PD answerable to Congress? |
|
Seems to me they could quietly and legally arrest Gonzo and have him behind bars before anybody knew about it. I don't think Gonzo can declare any act unconstitutional; that's the job of the courts. With a valid Congressional contempt order, I don't see how Gonzo could claim he's beyond touch. Not with him in DC Metro's juristiction.
Then, with Gonzo under arrest there would have to be an acting AG. Who would that be? Aren't like the Numbers 2,3 and 4 at the DoJ resigned in protest now?
And would rank-and-file FBI agents or US Marshalls go to the mat to try to pry Gonzo out of the hands of DC Metro?
