House Votes To Hold Barr & Commerce Chief Ross In Criminal Contempt Over Census | Hardball | MSNBC
Would love to see Wilber head to jail with slippers in tow.
a. barker ignorance must be bliss! Stupid
Don’t we have a Sergeant at Arms that can just go and arrest them?
yes we do.. and they need to DO their JOB or LOSE their JOB !!!!
I suppose, but then the Attorney General would probably not file charges and order the defendants release.
Diane Strunk That takes true fortitude it ain’t gonna happen !!
Low I.Q Trump not a fan
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!
Fines mean nothing while they rob the country blind. They need to be behind bars.
BOTH!
Put them in jail
How about some teeth with that? JAIL TIME for both!
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.
Robert leRoy Parker smh still holding onto the Russian thing bahaha
@Darren Anderson – Corroborated here… 📑

Which gave McConnell… *this* in return. 💱

Beyond shameful, *utterly* corrupted…and pretty d*mn ‘unpatriotic’, really. 🤔
@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.
@Darren Anderson – 👏👏👏
‘Seconded’.
Democrats need to send the Sergeant of arms to arrest them both and drag them out in handcuffs!
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.
The frog would just leap out of the pot. That parable was never based in reality.
Can you say “lid” ?
@Hazzycakes Wow! You know how to miss a f*cking point, don’t you?
EXACTLY and it’s got to stop asap!
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??
they like to think so…..!!!
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.
I hope they go to jail together & live with the general population. Strip them of their power. They are unworthy.
Sadly they’ll just put window bars on mar a lago, send them all there and call it jail
If these politicians and judges don’t do something about barr, we better get rid of all of them.
The Dems won that one, but at the same time republicans were allowed to gerrymander….right?
Serve Trump and you will go to jail. Cohen. Barr. Ross. Flynn. Madafort. The list goes on.
Just another *beyond-shameful sidenote* for #45’s ‘administration’ the civilised worlds historians are duly notating with wry, sorrowful smiles.
So embarrassing for America… 😒
Both Barr and the old balcony muppet have ties to the Russian mob.
Old balcony muppet😂😆😵
Now let the FBI go put them in jail just like they would have done with any other America
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..
SEND HER BACK
DEPORT the chain migrating no english speaking nude model gold digger HO MELANIE lol
who? Trumps wife? lol
