House votes to hold Barr and Ross in criminal contempt of Congress - GoFuckYourself.com

Thsi is utterly disgusting at every level. This is very, very simple..... If a subpoena is issued, you MUST comply with it. It's stunning that the Department Of Justice seems to think they can ignore them. What they originally did was a criminal act, and then ignoring the subpoenas was also a criminal act.

The Obama administration did this too.

If anyone in our government ignores a subpoena, they should immediately be arrested. When you get a subpoena, you have "X" amount of days to comply, and if you fail to comply for any reason the Capital Police should arrest them.

This is a shit show.

The Trump administration is a criminal origination and that includes the AG Barr.. He isn't the head of the DOJ he's the lap dog of Trump.

Pretty fucking stupid as usual.. Obama is the only President in the history of the census not to ask that question.. The problem isn't why does Trump Admin want to ask the question. It's why did Obama remove it??????????

↑^↑ Truth

I hope we do it 10x"s worse when we take power. At this point it's clear our democracy is trying to be dismantled by repukes.

There's no logic to Democrats being the party of law and order when the other party will have no consequences for breaking laws and norms that means Democrats will always be on the losing side if we don't do as they do.

What???

Really!?!?

You mean to tell me that if notebooks, computers, phones and email servers are subpoenaed with explicit instructions to be turned over 100% unaltered and with all data preserved and instead, someone starts taking hammers to everything to destroy all information beyond recovery... that's not OK with you??

Thanks for clearing that up and clarifying that Hillary and a few of her aids should be arrested,... you fucking dipshit.

Actually people fail to comply with subpoenas all the time - that's why there's the remedy of contempt and bench warrants.

The issue in this case is enforcement. Just as there are hundreds of thousands of unenforced bench warrants because the wanted person resides or stays in another jurisdiction, the House apparently lacks the mechanism to enforce a subpoena, or at least has not put it to a definite test. In some US states, such as NY, the lack of ability to enforce a bench warrant is sometimes enough to preclude it.
