34. They "Demand"....

Fri Jun 11, 2021, 02:36 PM

Jun 2021

Has Schumer and Durbin not noticed in the course of the last decade plus that the GOP just laughs at what the Democratic Party wants?

Taxes...lol, see you in court.
Testimony from department Secretaries...lol
Bipartisan SCOTUS appointment...lol
Testimony from GOP counsel...lol, see you in court.
Testimony from GOP department heads...lol, see you in court.
Documents...lol, see you in court.
Witnesses for impeachment...lol
Evidence for impeachment...lol
Commission to investigate 6 Jan...lol

This list could go on & on & on & on...

So probably safe to say that "demanding" is not going to go far. Just do the subpoena and when they lol at that vote to hold them in inherent contempt...because just contempt is lol, you voted Barr in contempt before but there were absolutely no consequences for that Barr just....lol'd
