How delicious is it to think of Pelosi behind bars for attempting to get the Attorney General arrested for Contempt on Congress?

The crazed Democrats in the House seem to want to try to defend some kind of mythical constitutional prerogative to oversee the executive branch which is power they just don’t have. Trump will continue to challenge the House’s authority across many areas, from the Ways and Means Committee’s bid to get the president’s tax returns from the IRS to the Judiciary Committee’s request to hear from both Mueller and one of his key witnesses, former White House Counsel Don McGahn.

“This is not some peripheral schoolyard skirmish,” Raskin said. “This goes right to the heart of our ability to do our work as Congress of the United States.” 

It also goes to the heart of the power of the president over the members of the House who cannot be arrested until they stop travelling to and from their offices in Washington where they cannot be arrested.. But they cannot run forever.

The House Judiciary Committee is attempting to hold Barr in contempt for refusing to comply with the committee’s subpoena for the full, un-redacted report which is in the possession and control of president Trump . The Judiciary is also trying to plow new ground by holding the Executive Branch under it’s control. It will not work because America is not some sh**hole country but a country and culture which wisely keeps the House separate from the president and vice-versa. 

Even though Crazy Jerry Nadler, a longtime and outspoken enemy of president Trump want’s the Mueller Report, he is niot entitled to it. He said his Contempt Motion is the “culmination of nearly three months of requests, discussions and negotiations with the Department of Justice.”… Yeah, we get that but so what?? Jerry doesn’t get to get whatever he wants and in this case he want’s something to which is is banned from getting. 

“I am concerned that the department is heading in the wrong direction,” Nadler said, adding that minutes earlier, Trump took the “dramatic step” of exerting executive privilege. “This is unprecedented. If allowed to go unchecked, this obstruction would mean the end of congressional oversight.”

Faced with Nadler’s “blatant abuse of power,” president Trump “has no other option than to make a protective assertion of executive privilege,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.

NBC NEWS reported: The moves represent a major escalation of the battle between congressional Democrats and the president. It will likely lead to a protracted legal war over Mueller’s 448-page report on alleged obstruction of justice by Trump and Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election.
