JAIL TIME? Democrat Wants Top Trump Officials ‘Jailed’ Over the President’s Tax Returns

posted by Hannity Staff - 5.22.19

At least one Congressional Democrat is now calling for senior Trump officials to be “jailed” for refusing to hand-over the President’s tax returns; setting the stage for another high-stakes legal showdown with the White House.

“Democratic Rep. Lloyd Doggett said Tuesday that IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin should be jailed or fined for stonewalling congressional subpoenas for President Trump’s tax returns,” reports Fox News.

“Doggett, D-Texas, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, said Tuesday that congressional Democrats need to employ what’s known as ‘inherent contempt’ for Trump officials defying committee requests and subpoenas for Trump’s financial information,” adds the article.

“I believe that there is no legal advice that will stop the lawlessness and lies of this administration, and that is why Congress needs to act firmly now to use every tool it has available to get this information that Trump so fears that the public will see,” Doggett told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Tuesday night.

“To take action, I believe it’s going to require fines or confinement under our power of inherent contempt to get the information we need and to get all these other people that, under what seems to be gang rule, are told don’t say anything and don’t provide anything,” he continued. “Total silence, total obstruction.”

The Democrat’s comments come after top lawmakers voted to hold the Attorney General in ‘contempt’ for refusing to speak with legislators regarding Robert Mueller’s “no collusion” conclusion.

Attorney General William Barr reportedly met with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi face-to-face last Wednesday during an event at the Capitol; asking the top Democrat if she “brought her handcuffs” after accusing the senior Trump official of breaking the law just days ago.

“Colleague Jake Gibson rpts AG Barr spoke to Pelosi in person today, after the National Peace Officers Memorial Service at the Capitol. Source says Barr went up to Pelosi & asked her if she brought her handcuffs,” reported a journalist from Fox News.

“What is deadly serious about it is the attorney general of the United States of America was not telling the truth to the Congress of the United States,” Pelosi told reporters earlier this month. “That’s a crime.”

“We will have no choice but to move quickly to hold the attorney general in contempt if he stalls or fails to negotiate in good faith,” Mr. Nadler said. “But the attorney general must make a choice. Every one of us must make the same choice. That choice is now an obligation of our office.”

“The choice is simple: We can stand up to this president in defense of the country and the Constitution we love, or we can let the moment pass us by,” he added.

COLLUSION DELUSION CONTINUES: Maxine Waters Claims Trump ‘Conspired with the Kremlin’

posted by Hannity Staff - 4.04.19

Outspoken Congresswoman Maxine Waters continued her war-of-words with the White House Thursday; flatly asserting that the Trump campaign “conspired with the Kremlin and oligarchs of Russia.”

“Some people say, ‘How dare her (sic) come out and say, ‘Impeach him? She doesn’t know enough about him to talk about impeaching him.’ But now the American people, whether they say it or not, they know that this man is dangerous,” Waters said.

“That certainly, he conspired with the Kremlin and with the oligarchs of Russia,” she added.

Waters’ comments fly in the face of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s $30 million, two-year investigation; releasing his findings just days ago that confirmed there was “no collusion” between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.

COLLUSION DELUSION: Adam Schiff Digs In, Says ‘Plenty of Evidence of Collusion’

posted by Hannity Staff - 4.03.19

Rep. Adam Schiff doubled-down on his desperate ‘collusion delusion’ assertions this week; bizarrely stating there’s “plenty of evidence of collusion” despite Robert Mueller’s $30 million investigation that found no connection between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.

“There’s plenty of evidence of collusion and corrupt co-mingling of work between the Trump campaign and the Russians. I fully accept that as a prosecutor [Mueller] couldn’t prove beyond a reasonable doubt that crime,” said Schiff.

The President unloaded on Rep. Schiff Tuesday over his baseless allegations of collusion between senior Trump aides and the Kremlin; saying there “was no amount” of testimony or documents that would satisfy “Shifty Schiff.”
