Pelosi House Sets Contempt Vote Against AG Barr for June 11th…
Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats are structuring a contempt vote against U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr for next week, June 11th. As part of the current construct, the Lawfare alliance of legal advisers and staff are writing specific language into the vote that will automatically allow more contempt votes against the Trump administration without hearings.

Their collective goal is to use a legislative vote to open a civil lawsuit against Bill Barr for his failure to deliver the fully unredacted Mueller report to them. Additionally, the contempt vote will be written so that any other arbitrary Trump administration official can also be held in contempt, without a committee vote, and thereby initiate a civil lawsuit against the executive officer that will have to be defended in court.
Pelosi and the Lawfare group are avoiding a criminal contempt process because that would require the DOJ to participate. Instead lawyers working on behalf of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, HPSCI Chairman Schiff, and/or White House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings will sue the Trump administration in civil court.

Folks you really need to take some time to digest this ...At the bottom of this story is this ... chilling folks ...


Normally/traditionally House Counsel represents the interests of the entire Legislative Branch on any issue that might surface. However, Pelosi is setting up a legal activist agency within the House Counsel that will specifically “advocate” for Democrat priorities, against the position of the U.S. Department of Justice, and use taxpayer funds to finance the scheme.

Speaker Pelosi is creating her own mini DOJ (the Lawfare alliance) inside the legislative branch. And, with additional investigative powers granted to House committees, we might even see a mini-FBI units, dispatched to conduct investigations, accountable only to speaker Pelosi. Heck, considering congress already has subpoena power, there’s no telling where this might end.

Pretty sure the Legislative Branch has no police powers so every lawsuit they bring is civil.

You might also consider that the Legislative Branch is, by design, supposed to have broad investigative and oversight powers.

We didnt seem to have a problem with this during investigations of Benghazi or Fast and Furious.

My point is the chicken little shit is getting a little overwrought.

"Oh my God Pelosi is going to create a MINI-FBI".

This shit is not helpful.

See this is the problem I have with the Republicans. The democrats have the balls to do this, but the republicans never do. They will move to impeach Trump, but Obama works with terrorist nations and they do well, nothing.

I hope they do move to impeach Trump it will die in the Senate and they will be toast in 2020

If this isn't showing how much they are fing this country to have money and power I don't know what a person would need to see to wake the f up.
This from the "you must pass it to know what's in it" group .

First you must buy this box then I'll tell you what's in it, only I will still lie to you.

If the House DemonRats want a "constitutional crisis", by following this through to the end - trying to actually arrest Barr - then they have one.

Doubt it will ever happen, unless the stupid bastards want this whole country exploding.

Playing by "The Rules" is no longer a viable option, IMHO - it's gotten "us" absolutely nowhere fast. The DemonRats killed The Marquess of Queensbury when they started using their version of the Nazi SA - AKA Antifa.

Anyone who doubts that Antifa is not a planned and funded paramilitary of the DemonRats has not been watching.

Doubt that Trump or Barr give a shit, although they will turn it against the DemonRats, mainly because...

Unless they have something up their sleeve this action goes nowhere. They are suing Barr for not releasing the grand jury testimony from the mueller report - which he is prohibited by law.

This is political theater at its finest (i.e. worst). Of course the mainstream press that ignored holder's impeachment will make sure this is the story of the day.
