GOP Lawmakers Likely to File Contempt of Congress Charges Against FBI and DOJ Officials

Gateway Pundit; House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) is tired of waiting for Deep State to turn over subpoenaed documents.

Nunes and GOP lawmakers on the Intel Committee gave the Department of Justice and FBI until Wednesday to turn over requested documents on the phony Trump dossier.

Nunes slammed the Deep State last week for failing to produce the documents as required by law back in August.

“Unfortunately, DOJ/FBI’s intransigence with respect to the Aug. 24 subpoenas is part of a broader pattern of behavior that can no longer be tolerated. As a result of the numerous delays and discrepancies that have hampered the process of subpoena compliance, the committee no longer credits the representations made by DOJ and/or the FBI regarding these matters.”

But Deep State defied Congress and refused to turn over the documents.

On Wednesday night Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), a member of the House Freedom Caucus, told Lou Dobbs Congress may file contempt of Congress charges against the DOJ and FBI for failing to produce documents subpoenaed by Congress.  read more

  1. On Wednesday night Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), a member of the House Freedom Caucus, told Lou Dobbs Congress may file contempt of Congress charges against the DOJ and FBI for failing to produce documents subpoenaed by Congress. “May file”?? How about changing the language a little, to “will file” or better yet, “have filed”! This flowery language that describes what they might do is a bunch of crap!

  2. Looks like another red line drawn in the sand for an ineffective, weak congress.
    Congressional investigations by committee is a farce.

    DOJ, FBI, EPA, Dept. of State, IRS, ATF, Bureau of Land Management and the Judiciary are above the law and congress allows it.

    The establishment Federal Judges and the Bureaucrats in all the agencies have nothing to fear from Congress.

  3. FTA: “And they’re detained until they comply. And here is what I predict, if they were put in the House jail for contempt of Congress we’d have the documents within 24 hours.” “House jail”? What is the House jail?

  4. Spineless GOP lawmakers likely to file toothless contempt charges against FBI and DOJ in order to dupe voters into thinking that they are actually doing something.

    Yaaawn! Wake me up when someones in jail.

    > What is the House jail?

    It’s a room next to the sauna. Technically it’s for “spanky time” with the naughty, naughty interns. But that doesn’t look as good on Google Maps.

  6. So! Contempt of Congress really took Holder out, didn’t it! Waste of time. Congress is powerless. Their investigations are self-serving ‘flares’ to divert, subvert, obfuscate or aide and abet, the criminal and/or unethical behavior of the government. Congress is merely flotsam floating in the swamp.

  7. couldn’t DJT just ORDER the JD to hand this stuff over within 24 hrs? with TERMINATION to follow if disobeyed? Apparently, the Congress’ enforcer of Congressional Subpoena’s IS …. the JD.
