In reply to the discussion: AG Garland directs U.S. Marshals to help 'ensure the Justices' safety' [View all]EndlessWire
(6,460 posts)40. Well, contempt of congress
means that you can get held in jail without any ability for the President to pardon you. They used to have a jail right in the building for that; probably not there anymore when there are better facilities for holding rat weasels in custody.
There are legal mechanisms for grabbing them up, otherwise the subpoena power is worthless, and they might as well issue a party invitation. Pardon me for wishing that the law was upheld. These slippery weasels need to be held accountable.
For the record, all weasels should be prosecuted and convicted; only one should be set adrift on the high sea without a country to return to. The rest should be in prison without privileges of any kind.
