    1. I suppose, but then the Attorney General would probably not file charges and order the defendants release.

  1. FINE THEM DAILY! Stop letting these corrupt fascists subvert the rule of law: fascism takes hold from WITHIN when they are not held in check!

  2. TRUMPY THE RUSSIAN DANCING CIRCUS BEAR CLOWN has exposed the GOP for what it has long been. A wholly owned subsidiary of war profiteers, pillpushers, criminal banksters, and oil corps. They send the US military to nations of color ( usually with lots of oil ) for those oil corps. The pillpushers charge WE THE PEOPLE 30 to 40% more for medications thatn the rest of the world. All of the jobs sent away from the dumb white trash were sent away by the Oligarch owners of the GOP not the poor immigrants fleeing wars and famine and most of those wars the US / CIA / Israel terrorist gang has a big hand in starting and keeping going. War is profit. The old, fat, white trash with money has sold our Democracy to the highest bidders and then they can only stoke the flames of blatant hatred and racism to the ignorant backwoods brush apes and dirt road crackers for votes. The hucklberry hayseed yokel cornpone contingent are blinded by skin color. Hence the centuries long moniker of being dumb white trash.

      Beyond shameful, *utterly* corrupted…and pretty d*mn ‘unpatriotic’, really. 🤔

    2. @CynAnne1 the minute they lifted the sanctions Obama put on Russia for trying to meddle in our elections I knew what was up. Mnuchin should be in jail for that considering he blatantly lied. Like they should impose the 5 year sentence on him for breaking the law stating he shall hand over anyone’s taxes to the appropriate congressman.

  3. We are like a frog in a pot being boiled. We are passive while tyranny takes hold of this country. We will soon have a dictatorship unless the public rises up and resists.

  4. Trump and his slimy Republicans are sure testing the strength of lady justice. Even with this administration’s hand picked and placed staff and judges, Lady Justice with see us through. Barr and Ross should be held on perjury and criminal charges like any ordinary citizen. What just bc they’re republicans, they’re above the law??

  5. Trump needs to be arrested advising those two idiots Ross and Barr not to comply to a congressional subpoena. Barr knows better impeach him or outright fire him, he works for the government. They are not above the law.

  6. I hope they go to jail together & live with the general population. Strip them of their power. They are unworthy.

  7. If these politicians and judges don’t do something about barr, we better get rid of all of them.

  8. Just another *beyond-shameful sidenote* for #45’s ‘administration’ the civilised worlds historians are duly notating with wry, sorrowful smiles.
    So embarrassing for America… 😒

  9. The average person can’t even ignore a summons for jury duty…These people are ignoring subpoenas, they should be treated like the average citizen..

  10. SEND HER BACK
    DEPORT the chain migrating no english speaking nude model gold digger HO MELANIE lol

    1. @Dj Allworld
      The little mushroom dk pussygrabber is a national security threat to this great nation
      IMPEACH THE MOTHER FKER asap America

  11. Shoulda been doing this the whole time, AND ACTUALLY PUNISH. Get that spine straight, dems. Fight.
