So, what happens next? What will the Democrats do if they hold Barr in contempt? How will this be enforced? Will it backfire? What will the idiot in the WH try to do to protect Barr? Your thoughts.
WASHINGTON — The House Judiciary Committee will vote Wednesday to hold Attorney General William P. Barr in contempt of Congress, after the Justice Department appeared to miss a Monday deadline to negotiate the delivery of Robert S. Mueller III’s full report, along with key evidence collected by the special counsel.
Democrats said the vote could still be avoided if the Justice Department changes course, but Monday’s announcement sets up another dramatic escalation in a growing dispute between the legislative and executive branches. If the full House follows suit and votes to hold Mr. Barr in contempt of Congress, it would be only the second time in American history that a sitting member of a president’s cabinet has been penalized by lawmakers that way.
The Judiciary Committee’s chairman, Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York, said the vote would occur at 10 a.m. A 27-page report accompanying the vote notice on Monday recommends that Mr. Barr “shall be found to be in contempt of Congress for failure to comply with a congressional subpoena.”
So, what happens next? What will the Democrats do if they hold Barr in contempt? How will this be enforced? Will it backfire? What will the idiot in the WH try to do to protect Barr? Your thoughts.
