Wow, I was just driving by 950
Pennsylvania Avenue and blurring from behind closed doors “Sometimes I
feel, sometimes I feel, like I've been tied to the whippin' post, tied to the
whippin' post, tied to the whippin' post.” And it was a holiday! Maybe
the cleaning staff, no rest for the wicked. OK, that is the headquarters for
the U.S. Department of Justice not to be mistaken for Sarah Palin’s imaginary
White House, that is at the 1400 address that today looks like a camp for the
homeless? Hey there’s John Boehner and Paul Ryan, begging for food? But that crying
out loud voice in pain seemed to be that of the Chief Attorney, as it appears
that Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice is merely acting as a “Whippin’
Post” for Donald John Trump, so may as well think of it as the Department of
Injustice - for the time being. Hey, all good things come to that end, just ask
John and Paul!
With the DOJ, it boils down
to this. When a “Contempt of Congress Citation” was signed, sealed and
delivered by House Squeaker Nanny LousyLollaPelosi to Garland’s DOJ, that which
found Steve Bannon in contempt of a “Congressional Subpoena” issued by the
“Committee” investigating the January 6th Insuregnecy”R”Us, it gave
Trump a “pillow guy cushion” of legal relief. When that “citation” arrived,
Garland should have dismissed it immediately, as the DOJ was not in the
position to “trump” the U.S. Supreme Court in precedence-set case law and thus
remanded that desire to indict Steve Bannon backwards wherein it came from -
the House of Congress. Now of course the legal team for Trump and Bannon as
well as with the rest of the “thugs-in-tights”, any 1st semester
student of law could have easily motioned for a “quash” any DOJ involvement, based
on the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court has already generously ruled on how
Congress should react if a subpoena for documents and/or witness testimony goes
ignored, but none did. Because the advantage with the DOJ interference was now
in favor “for” Trump, not against him and his cohorts in crime, with Garland
accepting this “citation”. See, had the DOJ performed its duty with due diligence,
that remand to deny any DOJ involvement would have cited McGrain v. Daugherty.
As a valid excuse to recuse the DOJ from getting involved in this battle going
on, with Trump’s minions ignoring a “Congressional Subpoena”. The roadmap
exists, so the DOJ had no other legal option then to refuse this “citation” to
indict Steve Bannon, but Garland balked. Just wait, as in a matter of time the
matter of Doe Trump v. Doe Pelosi, in time with all the court motions and
plaintiff commotions this mess will make its way to the Supreme Court, which
will no doubt refuse to issue an opinion based on the fact the “High Court” is
already of record in support of McGrain v. Daugherty. And just today, with
Trump trying to argue his discretion of “executive privilege”, his legal team
asked the D.C. Court of Appeals for a stay in that matter anticipating a visit
to the “High Court”. But with Trump’s case in combat with LousyLollaPelosi’s “Select
Committee”, the reason the DOJ should but for “but out” is the fact that the
cases are identical, with the only difference any contention in similarities finds
that in that 1927 landmark decision, it was the Senate involved in a dispute
over investigative subpoenas and not the House. But that decision by the “Four
Horsemen”, staunch Republicans that ruled the “High Court” in the late 1920s,
it acknowledged that it did not matter, as both the Senate and the House could
act independently with investigations of national interest wherein “subpoena
power” was essential. And the “High Court” insisted that Congress could
“attach” - aka “House Arrest” - an individual that ignored a “Congressional Subpoena”.
With confidence set with precedence set, that law of the land still finds an
automatic “indictment” upon any individual that ignores a valid “Congressional
Subpoena”, no judge no court no nothing just a Braveheart Congress that is not
afraid to tell the Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest the ignorant un-patriotic Bannon bastards.
Now all those 2nd year law students of Lawrence Tribe will now argue
that the “Congress” cannot “prosecute”, so what’s my point? That there exists
no provisions in the U.S. Constitution that would allow either the Senate or
House to act as a “prosecutor”. True, but there is no need for a prosecutor in this
case as there is no sense of a crime committed bearing a demand for punishment prescribed
by the courts in an arraignment, it is merely the fact that “Congress” has the
power of “attachment” without a fair trial, without a challenge of a “habeas
corpus” violation, as this “attachment” has limits. As what is all so
interesting with this decision from the U.S. Supreme Court, it allows the
“Congress” to keep those “attached” behind bars until such time those still
under a “subpoena” start to cooperate and answer any and all investigative
questions to the satisfaction of the “Committee”. On this stage, the High Court
ruled that “habeas corpus” is over-ruled, until such time the imprisoned
individual is willing to talk or provide the required documents requested through
the “subpoena”. And while under this “behind bars” punishment for ignoring a
“subpoena” to provide testimony, there is no such thing as “Executive
Privilege” being exercised, no interference by such a ludicrous undertaking
like how this notion in locomotion has found its way into the merits of justice
with Trump’s gang, that it exists for an ousted president and merely an
obstacle designed at stalling the worthiness of jurisprudence. What it means in
exercise the McGrain verdict, either answer the questions or stay behind bars. Give
in and go free, thus limits established for this kind of incarceration without “prosecution”.
Now one in the “hot seat” can request any answer to survive “confidentiality”
treatment, but still must answer and then the “Committee” can weigh the
advantage or disadvantage to granting that “confidentiality”. In a nutshell, if
an answer helps the merits of what the “Committee” is searching for, there is
no “confidentiality” case closed. So if Mark Meadows was under “House Arrest”
as he well should be by this time, a question like “Did Donald John Trump
direct you to plan and activate this January 6th attack on the U.S.
Capitol”? Well Meadows would have to answer, and if Meadows acknowledged that
it was Trump’s intent, to plan this attack but in answer Meadows asked for
“confidentiality”, there would be no such protection as this answer would be
enough to charge Donald John Trump with “Treason”. The weighing factor would be
in favor of “no confidentiality” thank you Mr. Meadows you are free to go home
time for the Sergeant-at-Arms to “House Arrest” Donald Trump - it’s about time!
So what does it all mean,
with all of the legal experience in the “Select Committee” that promulgated
this use of the DOJ instead of relying on the established McGrain verdict, that
which is supported by the U.S. Supreme Court? Well it appears just a bunch of
free-loaders that somehow made it though law school and walked away with that
degree, but left all common sense at the graduation wishing well, same with
Merrick Garland for thinking he was a Supreme Court Justice and revisiting the
McGrain outcome.
In the meantime, Trump’s
legal team is buying time on the U.S. Taxpayers’ dime. And when finally the
Supreme Court gets to take up any requests that have anything to do with the LousyLollaPelosi
“Select Committee” in investigations with subpoenas and thus refuses any
involvement due McGrain, that Congress took a detour so must face the
consequences and those “subpoenas” are worthless, well by that time it will be
too damn late in the 117th 2nd session to start all over
again. What also matters, in McGrain in “opine” by Associate Justice Willis Van
Devanter, the issue of timeliness is respected. Wherein the High Court
discourages the normal legal channels for holding an individual accountable for
ignoring a “Congressional Subpoena”, through the “Courts” due the time constraints
associated with “delays” and instead found that the “attachment” better suits
the needs of Congress; “To await the slow process of indictment and prosecution for a
misdemeanor, might prove quite ineffectual, and necessary legislation might be
obstructed, and perhaps defeated, if the legislative body had no other and more
summary means of enforcing its right to obtain the required information.”
So just another reason that
Garland should have taken the side of this decision by the Supreme Court, and
sent the LousyLollaPelosi Adam Schiff-for-brains tantrum back to the “Select
Committee”. As now Trump has time on his side, the “Select Committee” has
sabotaged any relief by involving the DOJ and when the 118th comes
to life some 2-years after that Insurgency”R”Us attack, there will be no
interest to reconvene a “Select Committee” that was in reality just a “Reject
Committee”. And this is how the 117th Congress under LousyLollaPelosi
and Schmoozer Schumer, with the Democrats in the “majority” both chambers, how
they themselves destroy the Founding Fathers’ DEMOCRACY. History in the making!
