1. Get thee to the greatest page

RFN!

Lock him up!

5. Hope Merrick Garland acts swiftly!

[Thomas Hurt]

2. One more chance for the fascist lush to concede, and it will be met with disdain...

and a plea for cash.

3. Huh?

[Silent3]

4. Is that just a committee vote, or a floor vote?

If it is a committee vote, does there have to be a floor vote after that, or can the committee do the referral to the US Attorney directly?

[malaise]

7. Both I assume

Committee votes first

19. Speaker Pelosi will likely waste little time getting a vote from the full House.

I will be surprised if it is not sent to the US Attorney by the end of next week.

He will be consulting with Merrick Garland, I presume.

I suppose it would then go to a Grand Jury?

20. Can't wait

Lock him up!

21. Can't wait

Lock him up!

6. How soon after the vote can they take the slob to jail?

[stillcool]

8. I understand process, and all the

bullshit it can involve, but damn. First the report, then the vote, then the referral. Can't they expedite this somehow? Takes from Thursday to Tuesday to schedule a business meeting? I can't do this any more. I think it would be better to fold, then continue to play a losing hand.

11. I was thinking the same thing

Do they only work Tue, Wed, and Thur?

[stillcool]

12. yeah, and it sounds like they can't

prepare in advance for when/not if someone fails to appear. Like fill in blank spaces and push print. And, they can't vote during the day... they have to wait until 7:30 at night? There's a reason for doing it this way. I shudder to think what that could be.

13. The Committee could have

convened for the expected testimony and been ready to report the matter immediately. There's nothing in any statute I can see that requires a separate proceeding so they didn't and instead have held off even discussion of reporting until Tuesday. They may not report, just convene to talk about it, though I think they likely will at that time. Bannon telegraphed his intent for weeks and it is inexcusable to let it pass without immediate response instead of these mediocre threats. This kind of nonsense is why these seditionists feel they can delay, deflect and finally defy Congress with impunity and they haven't really been wrong so far.

15. You can't charge him with murder until he commits murder regardless the content of his yammer.

17. Welcome to DU!

[Patton French]

9. Will he fold..

..now that they’re sizing him for a red jumpsuit?

[doc03]

10. This is ridiculous if it was me or you the

f----g cops would have knocked our door down yesterday.

[Karma13612]

14. Well, if they insist on waiting

Until 7:30 PM this coming Tuesday for this, lets hope it’s broadcast on cspan and some networks so Americans can see that vote.

Voting to bring criminal contempt action could be a very juicy win for us.

No?

Should I not bother with the popcorn and champers??

C’mon. An old lady needs SOME sort of win…..

16. If he gets perp walked it will definitely end up in fundraising

letters and sites. That's the world we live in.
