Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said Wednesday the House won’t take up a contempt measure against anyone in the Trump administration before the Memorial Day recess, which would push off any action until June at the earliest. Hoyer, told reporters Democrats are waiting to “take an inventory,” of more contempt charges against Trump administration officials related to the president’s refusal to fully cooperate with sweeping House investigations by six different committees. The Judiciary Committee last week voted to cite Attorney General William Barr with contempt of Congress for refusing to provide Congress with the

I think Hoyer knows tossing manure at the republicans will blow back 10 fold against them. So, dems, go for it. You are the equivalant of the art work of the crucifix in a jar of urine.

Of course the report is available to Congress. Either they can´t read or won´t read because they can´t understand it. How many times did Obama testify before Congress? None? Why not? Let´s call him to testify under oath about what he knew and when he knew it.

Of course, the contempt charge has been voted out of committee, and those individuals will need to account for their votes.

This will be one tease after another to garner headlines...like "Bombshell" stories.
Blaming the Dems? The Uniparty´s object is to grab attention repeatedly to the "corruption" of the Trump Administration, it´s obstructions and cover-ups, of Barr shielding PDT from charges, and whatever rash they can bundle. This will go on until summer recess, and then blast off in a no-holds barred smear campaign to stir public opinion to keep PDT from a second term.
In addition, this roiling will involve his family, associates, and business. His defense is on his own dimes...will he continue to absorb the "beating" and smut, or decide not to run? That´s the question the Uniparty is eventually forcing. It is not an attempt to impeach.
Mitt´s in the wings...if they succeed.

Careful guys...... When ya´ll start accusing everyone of contempt, you diminish the charge. Its like the overuse of racist. At some point your target just shrugs and says "whatever", and just moves on.

Oh how delicious would it be to get obama under oath and questioned by Gowdy or Jim Jordan or Cruz or heck, Greg Jarett. That would be amazing. Followed immediately by hillary under oath.

If there is an ounce of justice in the universe, the Democrat Party will be blown out of the proverbial water in 2020 -- House, Senate, and Presidency. These people are a combination of idiots, brats, and socialists. And they are as mean as hell.
I´m done with these SOBs. That applies to "Milquetoast Mitt" too. He´s an SOB with a fake smile.

They won’t do it. They are kicking the can down the road until it is forgotten. They know they will look dumber than usual if they do this.

I believe congress should be held in contempt for violating the people of the United States for malfeasance and misfeasance of their elected duties to protect and defend our borders and failing fiscal and monetary prudence and budgeting!

Children all of them. They seldom think of the ultimate consequinces or the difficulty of their stated goals. It sounds good, "We´ll hold him in contempt of congress, then we´ll send the Sergeant at Arms to arrest him!" Man! What level of stupidity is this that is above all others? I was actually shocked their Committee chair persons actually had such little understanding of their own powers. It was absurd in the extreme.
Now, they face the reality of their statments. They woke up one morning and found the Atty Gnl was laughing his ass off at them. "You mean we can´t actually do that?" Reality bites!
Nadler is such a total buffoon. And don´t forget the utterly moronic Elijah Cummings.
The biggest irony is they use Schiff to head the Intelligence Committee - I am surprised Shiff is smart enough to remember how to breathe. Well, here we are- in this place now and for better or worse, we have to make hay with it.
Just remember, next election to do all you can to support your local Republican- not that a Republican would do much better.

The unredacted report IS available to Congress. The leftists are just mad that they can´t copy it, take any notes or leak it to the press without violating the law.
