These idiots had a clear lay up fall into their laps, support constantly growing and the Republicans on the ropes and these idiots are constantly sending out more subpoenas they KNOW will be ignored? Stop playing games with the motherfukkers and start using the power you have! shyt is infuriating how much weakness the Democrats project.
They take money to throw fights all the time. This is another case of that.

Here come the Left bashers..........
Im firmly with the left but fukk the bullshyt. you have to admit they ( Republicans) will not comply and are firmly committed to pushing the line since they know all the Democrats will do is send out strongly worded letters and gestate about how "worrying this is" wtf.. anyone they are able to lock up they should be. This shyt was passed the point of worrying 2yrs ago.

Do they actually have the legal authority to actually put anyone in jail?

I'm not being facetious either, I'm really not sure what legal recourse they have when people fail to cooperate with their investigations.


My assumption is that they can't really do much other than write subpoenas and hope people comply, but I could be wrong.

Anybody know the answer to this?

There are definitely a lot of people that should be in jail, but I'm still unclear on what legal power the House has to actually put someone there.

To oversimplify its not about Ukraine. Trump can't handle pressure, his allies are all crooks, he has done way worse than the Ukraine call. Its if, not when, all this shyt comes to light. One giant waiting game

All of that is true, it's just that voters won't care regardless of whatever else comes to light.

"I could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters" is sadly the truest thing Trump has said.

They have the power of inherent contempt. Nixons AG was jailed during Watergate until he complied.

I've been screaming since before he got the nomination. What legal framework is this supposed to happen under?

They should’ve impeached him earlier for obstruction of justice and the emoluments clause violations.

Now they let him get away with all that shyt and impeach on only this Ukraine-Biden shyt and it’s gonna come off as partisan and politically calculated. The hill they’re choosing to die on is Joe Biden’s son profiting of his dad being VP.

Now they’re p*ssyfooting around and letting the Repubs literally laugh at their subpoenas to their face and doing nothing.

So they can throw people in jail for inherent contempt without having to push it through the courts and hope a judge agrees? :ohhh:

Then yeah, they should've been doing that months go.

DEVELOPING Trump Justice Dept. asks U.S. judge to reject House Judiciary Committee request for Mueller grand jury materials, argues courts in 1974 wrongly gave Congress the Watergate grand jury 'roadmap' that led to President Nixon's impeachment.

"Wow, O.K.," responded U.S. Chief District Judge Beryl A. Howell of Washington, D.C., sounding unpersuaded. "As I said, the department is taking an extraordinary position in this case."

To be fair it's going to be seen like that regardless, Trump is always going to try to play the victim. :yeshrug:

The real problem is that half the country lives in an alternate reality where white people are are under attack and Trump is their savior and only hope of saving the country.



Regardless of what the Dems do, support for impeachment was always going to have a relatively low ceiling.

Sometimes you have to block the front door and set the building on fire.

I've said it before

The GOP is Punisher
Dems are Daredevil

To hell with being nice.
