(1,835 posts)First of all, holding Barr in contempt in the judiciary committee and then dropping it entirely never to be heard from again is an affront to all of our sensibilities.
You want a roadmap. Here it is!
1. Stop pussyfooting around. Subpoena Mueller, Mcgahn, Mnuchin, the tax returns, and the unredacted Mueller report.
2. Those conditions not complied with, immediately proceed to the courts and demand an expedited hearing on the executive privilege claim the way Bush did during Bush V. Gore in 2000(getting the final recount stopped in under 24 hours). Demand the courts hold these dudes in contempt as well until they testify and hand over their report and tax returns, as they are legally obligated to do.
3. Use inherent contempt to lock Mueller, Mcgahn, Mnuchcin, and Barr up until they cooperate.
4. If the courts rule against us, we drop it. They wont. Once we win, we use Muellers bombshells and the tax returns to open an impeachment inquiry.
Notice nowhere did I demand impeachment or my pony right now. Speaker Pelosi has shown no desire to even do anything with the Nadler Barr contempt citation. Thats outrageous.
Theres your roadmap. Cant see why even that is too hard for the DC crowd??? Nowhere did I use the scary I word either. Hoyer is running around saying itd be wrong to lock people up. WTF??
