“June 12 (UPI) — The House oversight committee on Wednesday voted to hold Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena regarding the inclusion of a citizenship question on the 2020 census.
The committee approved a contempt resolution, which also included citations for both civil and criminal contempt.
Oversight committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said he unsuccessfully offered to postpone the contempt votes for Barr and Ross if the administration releases a small batch of records from the case that the committee requested.
“Despite more than two months since we issued the subpoenas and more than a week since we told the agencies we were moving to contempt, the agencies have made no commitment or counter-offer regarding any of the critical documents in our subpoenas,” he said…
Cummings said he’s been asking the Commerce Department for the documents for more than a year. “That begs the question: what is being hidden?” he asked.”
What indeed.
This is a good start.

I read on CNN that Dumb Quixote has claimed “Executive Privilege” over the documents in question…….now what?
Court.
Especially since the docs they’re getting are non-responsive in fact.
Tick Tock.
WOW, these people seem to think they are untouchable, but the Marshal that cuffs them for delivery to the court system, knows how to do it quickly and the federal system will gladly provide overnight accommodations if need be ….
That will prove once again … No One is above the law in the US, even the AG OR Trump … one more chance to surrender, I suppose, then a warrant will be executed and there will be no more chances, they WILL BE DELIVERED to a court appearance for orders from a judge … these people are supposed to be working for the people, ALL the people …
They need to go to jail like the rest of us would have. The Dems need to get tougher on these smart ass’s
