Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf defies a subpoena and skips a House hearing on threats to the US after a feud over scheduling

Democratic Chairman Bennie Thompson denounced Wolf's decision to defy a subpoena to testify before the House Homeland Security Committee."As the person running the Department of Homeland Security, Mr. Wolf should be here to testify, as secretaries of Homeland Security have done before. Instead, we have an empty chair -- an appropriate metaphor for the Trump Administration's dereliction on so many of these critical homeland security issues," Thompson said at the hearing.

Thompson said the committee began engaging with the Department of Homeland Security on June 10"to secure Mr. Wolf's participation in this hearing, alongside his colleagues from the FBI and National Counterterrorism Center." The department, according to Thompson, tentatively offered some dates but couldn't agree with its FBI and NCTC counterparts on a date for the hearing in June or July.

.DHS_Wolf must believe Trump dynasty will be in power for at least a lifetime.

He is takeing lessons from Trump. Just throw the subpoena away who cares, Not worth the paper it's printed on. It will 'Just Go Away'

Another locust from this administration defying his duties. Such a scam we pay these idiots with tax dollars.

LockHimUp

Bull.. since he’s acting he should be arrested

I'm pretty sure not a damn thing is going to happen.

He serves the United States, and the House is a people elected arm of the Federal Government. Who the heck does this guy think he is, the MORON's friends?

Lock him up

Send the sergeant at arms to wallop him with that giant mace he carries.

Chad Wolf is a sycophant. Hope his time with Trump was worth it because he will be spending time in jailsoon.

Arrest him.

Who with half a brain cell is still taking congress seriously after what they tried to do to president Trump . Do they really think that the American people are that stupid? Well maybe they are because they keep getting reelected.

Arrest him maybe?

SpeakerPelosi If the American People can’t defy a subpoena, stop allowing Administration officials to go unchecked! Order the HouseSAA to enforce the subpoena. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Stop thinking they will stop... they are actively hitting the shredders and in panic mode.

Jail. Enforce the subpoena.

Law and order!

Greaseball

He’s so gross

What a chad

Have his ass hauled in

Arrest him.

Will we even remember in the morning?

A Federal judge says wolf is unlawful? That so called Federal is just another Obama appointed judge. After four years watching Obama appointed judges favor the Democrats. Everyone knows that the Obama judges are just returning their political favors for them getting the job.

Slap his bottom in the house jail.

Fire him!

ArrestChadWolf

ArrestChadWolf Enough already of Trump Administration not abiding by subpoenas. Arrest them!!

Their sending a very bad message to all who obey the law if it does not apply to them then why should apply to us. Somebody had better figure this out Quickly.

If the Sergeant At Arms does not arrest this guy, the power of subpoena is meaningless henceforth.

He needs to be arrested!!!

🤔Minor details: He offered to testify in both July and Aug. “Unfortunately the majority refused to make either of those dates work. Now due to his nomination, Mr. Wolf is prohibited from testifying under a policy that’s been in place under both Rep and Dem adms for decades,”

Another well rounded trump employee and the right is afraid of the left? He is the dictator!

Good for him not putting up with the total waste of time at the Democrat lead House hearing. He’s surely got better things to do.

The subpoena is worthless unless you ArrestChadWolf. ArrestChadWolf ArrestChadWolf ArrestChadWolf ArrestChadWolf ArrestChadWolf ArrestChadWolf ArrestChadWolf ArrestChadWolf ArrestChadWolf ArrestChadWolf ArrestChadWolf ArrestChadWolf ArrestChadWolf ArrestChadWolf

Lock him up!!

GMFB..If a citizen defied a House Subpoena he/she would be arrested...If House did this yrs. ago to the Trump people who laughed at the Subpoenas we wouldn't be where we are today. Stop the cable news rants and arrest these mf'ers!! All talk no action Dems can be replaced too!!!!

If a democratic administration did this republicans would immediately have them arrested and hold them in contempt Long past time democrats responded in kind. If SpeakerPelosi is too old or too scared to fight back she should resign ReplacePelosi ShahidVsPelosi

The dems need to have him arrested and put in jail until he will appear on the stand.

Why would he go, they already know Nadler and Peloai won't do shit

ArrestChadWolf DHS_Wolf GOP expects anyone to believe they are the Law and Order party? realDonaldTrump PressSec VoteOutEveryRepublican

Arrest him, this is what the White House wants. Bill Barr is dying to shove this in our faces too.

Arrest his arse ! Enough of the tRump propaganda machine getting away with defying subpoenas . If they arrest these arrogant tRumpers it would stop this behavior . You and I wouldn't be able to get away with ! Why should they ?

He is just another Trump criminal.

Our security is obviously in good hands with a man that flouts the law and walks away . Just like His boss.

ArrestChadWolf! He can’t get away with This!!!

Burnlootmurder/Antifa have been terrorizing, beating, intimidating, looting and blocking traffic for months. This is that face of hate and Democrats have been pretending these assholes don’t expiation. We are at 30 plus dead, how man more people are these people going to murder?

Just another trump-turd.

If you want to know what white privilege is, it's not having deputies dragging you to court in handcuffs.. or shooting you during the encounter to get you.

This dude is the head of homeland security. That's a disgrace. I don't think we can trust homeland security they seem to be a national security risk. Crazy

Maybe he something important to do like National Security

Law and Order huh? These people are just criminals. They no nothing of law enforcement

This is ridiculous. I'm SO sick of the arrogance and absurdity of every one of these clowns in this circus presidency.

Lock him up...that’ll change his mind...

ArrestChadWolf

Translation:

arrest this ugly mans patrick dempsey

ArrestChadWolf

Most Americans would have a warrant issued for their arrest and held in contempt of court. I’m sure nothing will happen to this guy. So much for law and order.

Another 'law and order' guy breaking the law. Cult thinks he is some sort of a hero because he had secret police pick up protesters in unmarked cars.

So arrest him. DO SOMETHING!

Arrest him NOW!!!

To have a strong America you have to defy the rules! GO CHAD!!! maga2020 chadwolfisahero Trump2020ToSaveOurCountry

Congress. Do your duty and arrest this traitor.

Tony323g Send the House Sergeant of Arms to drag his sorry ass in! We are all tired of Trump people ignoring subpoenas and ignoring the rule of law!

Good for him. How many has the house summoned in last couple of years. Thousands 😱😱😱. How about passing something useful

SpicysFiles Arrest him

So

How is this trending with only 5k tweets?

He is another of those swamp dwellers that has never been approved by Congress. Illegal and fraud

and in the hell does he think he is...jail

And we're we expecting any less the Gestapo answers only to the Orange Chimp

Send the Sergeant at Arms...

Is he in jail? Call the master at arms, FBI. Where are the authorities! You are not above the law!

CAPIAS. if I remember my latin

ArrestChadWolf

'Law and order' who?

Arrest Chad Wolf and fine him daily until he complies. Congress will render subpoenas obsolete and ineffective if they continue to be ignored & defied without consequences. ArrestChadWolf FineChadWolf SpeakerPelosi RepJerryNadler AdamSchiff HouseDemocrats SubpeonasMatter

Well, then, arrest the fucker and quit acting like you never heard of penalties.

He looks like a chad

Republicans are venial. Democrats are feckless. Rules are for suckers and losers. There'll be NO ENFORCEMENT. That's for minorities and the poor. F laws and norms.

So when is he going to be arrested 🤔?

ArrestChadWolf

Awww.... He didn't show up? I wonder what happens then... Oh wait, nothing:

MSRegiGirl Lock him up!

So you’re telling me JacobBlake was shot in the back 7 times because he “had a warrant out for his arrest” (which was later cleared), but piece of shit Chad Wolf can traipse around DC UNSCATHED after defying a House subpoena? ArrestChadWolf

Arrest this mother fucker DHS_Wolf

He can have the subpoena in prison

Hillary also skipped a hearing just a week ago, why are DemonRats such hypocrites? 🤷🏻‍♂️ArrestHillary

Remember when Eric Holder ignored these subpoenas? I do

And the consequences are...? The only thing that happens is that a bunch of Congressmen get mad. The Trump Administration has shown time and time again that they will do what they want without consequences

Congress use your authority and have him detained!

Breaking news would be if they arrested him. Which they won't. Once again someone in the Trump administration openly defying law. No surprise and no surprise that nothing will happen. They say how mad they are and reschedule at the most.

So much for law and order...

RebelArt5 They didn't enforce it during the impeachment so now it's a free for all.

And to think about what happens if you don't go to jury duty

valerileist Arrest his ungrateful ass

Arrest and Indict. We can't mess around with these no confirmed performers anymore. Speaker Pelosi and House Reps, do your job, NOW.

littlehimmler DHS_Wolf is as disgraceful as Stephen Miller. I fully expect criminal charges before this is over.

Arrest him

Haul him in. Take his passport NOW

That’s it. NONE of the people that are being subpoenaed by the Senate Committee headed by Ron Johnson to investigate the Obama administration should show up. NONE. NADA. ZERO.

Hold him in contempt and force him to show up

He needs to go to jail then!

So what’s the legal course of action when someone skips out? Arrest? SpeakerPelosi time to start holding these incompetent idiots accountable. They are pushing it to Nov!!!

What a “Chad” thing to do

Part of the 'Law and Order' administration

Arrest the mfr.

Is dhs_wolf in custody yet, housedemocrats? If no, why not? I would be in jail if I ignored a subpoena.

Trump has ruled that his administration is above the law, snd the GOP backs him up.

The Trump Dictatorship sees themselves as being above the law, laws don’t apply to them. Wake up America — this is how a fascist dictatorship begins.

Lock him up...

Bet he'd show up if he was put in handcuffs. They'll keep playing the system for a joke as long as there are no consequences. Treat him how you'd treat me if I did this. Otherwise don't bother with subpoenas and be a joke.

Send the US marshals to arrest this asshole

He should immediately be detained and held in contempt until he appears. That's how it would work for ordinary citizens. LockHimUp

Time for Democrats to play hardball and arrest Chad Wolf. I am quite positive that AG Barr will not hesitate.

Pick him up in handcuffs

LockHimUp

Arrest Wolf Today!

🤬💩👿

Lock him up until he is ready to comply

Arrest his ass and drag him to Congress.

And why is he NOT arrested? The rest of 'us' would be!

Arrest him!

ARREST CHAD WOLF, NOW!! He serves The People of the United States, not the Mobster in Chief. SpeakerPelosi RepAdamSchiff Get your teeth out!

Arrest this dirtbag. And while you’re at it, I have a feeling there are some skeletons in his closet. Of the predatory nature. Just a hunch. Not an accusation. Dig away!

Can we all skip subpoenas?

morgfair This racist demagogue has been ruled an illegal appointee of Orange's admin time and again.

Suspension withouttt payyyyy!!!

He shouldn’t give the house 2 minutes of his time on these baseless lies

Arrest Wolf.

Arrest him! He broke the law. Simple.

Of course he does.

Nothing new here. A disgrace how this goes untouched. It’s “oh well another no show”, let’s have some lunch

Chad Wolf is illegitimate and apparently lawless. He likes to operate in the dark without the authority to do so!

Arrest him. If an ordinary citizen did this, we would be arrested immediately.

He's acting alright, acting like another criminal appointee by the toxic Trump admin. I believe Trump is now down to stems and seeds, grabbing any warm bodies that agree with his extremist autocratic views. Can't stress enough, voting will remove this rat infestation of our govt!

It's not like House subpoenas carry any weight at all whatsoever. Birthday invitation cards produce better results

HE BELONGS IN JAIL! HE BELIEVES HE IS ABOVE THE LAW AND HES JUST A GARBAGE LOBBYIST DOING THE DIRTYWORK OF A CORRUPT ADMIN.

morgfair

Time for Jail I guess! DHS_Wolf

Anyone else would have been arrested... enough already!

Guess where we would all be if we defied a subpoena, in jail! Lock his sorry ass up!

“Scheduling conflict” my ass!!

Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!

Arrest the MF!!

arrest him

Trump is a selfish man it's obvious

Lock him up!

Hmmm, another traitor. 🧐

Send Sargent of arms to arrest his ass. Duh.

Shoot him in the back 7 times. It seems a logical response to breaking the law.

Put him in jail

Arrest him!!!

f7xU8bI5aICo5ky Arrest him.

ARREST HIM!!!! SpeakerPelosi HouseJudiciary HouseDemocrats RepAdamSchiff RepJerryNadler HAVE THE SERGEANT AT ARMS ARREST HIM!!!! NOW!!!!! DO SOMETHING!!!

Simply arrest him and if people get in the way of that ie: Trump or any of his crooked idiots arrest them as well.

ArrestHisAss LockHimUp

iameuru Lock him up.

Coward!!!

And when is he being arrested?

Was there a subpoena? If so, arrest his immediately! We cannot tolerate more of the Trump “pushing the envelope” tactics! We’ve already let his horrific administration get away with way too much! STOP THE CORRUPTION!

Congress the worst governing body ever. A subpoena that they can’t enforce

He is in there illegally.

Just another one of Trump's dangerous appointee puppets. UNFIT

Is he scaredy-cat, of of his president

This is unacceptable. My husband was served a subpoena to testify as a witness and we had to pay attorney 10,000 and comply! We had 3 degrees of separation At least from the case...again if Trump appointed them they think they r immune! Comply!

fuffy52 Why do House Dems allow this to continue to happen - why won't they take stronger/any action InherentContempt

How many of us would be playing house with bubba minutes after we said we ain't coming?

LockHimUp

Then hold his ass in contempt and arrest him he is no different or better than other American

Dude has the most Nazi looking haircut in the administration.

realDonaldTrump JoeBiden KamalaHarris A trillion dollars. No way Joe will claim his Town Hall was an ambush, because of questions.

I am the law that distributes pain and suffering . It will be used as a weapon for you to submit and obey

Doesn’t this guy work for the American People?

And let me guess.. nobody is going to do anything

Arrest the MotherF*ckr!!!

And the democrats will be too spineless to have him hauled to jail. SpeakerPelosi please do your job and have this clown arrested.

I’m asking, if I am subpoenaed by the House I can disregard it?

Swamp

LockHimUp

what a MAN? you should not be in that position if you cant stand up for the decisions you make..... Chad puppy

There's another 'only the best people'.

FIRE HIS ASS!!! 🔥🔥🔥

He needs to be gone

Enough of this shit ! Send the Sargent at arms and arrest him ! Nobody is above the Law ! Shit if these people can get away with it then so can EVERY American.... I say stand up now, ignore the Law from now on, and when they come do whatever you have to do .

THROW HIM IN JAIL!!

Why doesn’t the sergeant at arms throw his ass in the jail cell in the Congress.

Why does every pic of the_chadwolf make me think he fancies himself The Punisher?

Bench warrant his ass

LockHimUp

Chad ... is he a refugee from a failed frat hazing?

All these subpoena skippers need to go to jail.

Do as I say, Not as I do!

Arrest him.

Lock him up. He’s there illegally anyway.

SpeakerPelosi Draw a line. Now!! LockHimUp

HiraethResists Next question, will the house hold him contempt of Congress, or are the old inept, and tired assed leaders of the house just going to let this slide and mumble something about being “concerned & disappointed”

OK, remember this strategy for the Ron Johnson Senate Hearings.

SpeakerPelosi maybe start acting like you have some power

Then he needs to be jailed for contempt of court surely?

How are these people able to do this? Doesn't he have to go to jail for not showing up for a subpoena? This country should never again say one bad thing about developing countries. We have truly showed our behinds on these last years.

LockHimUp

The people that work in the people's house need to start arresting these fascists.

In a democratic country, he'd be arrested. Of course, democratic countries don't have a department of 'homeland security.'

It’s time to impose consequences/ have him jailed until he appears.

Arrest him.

Go arrest his ass and drag him to the hearing! If anyone other than trump cronies did this they would end up in jail immediately

gjlos24 Lock him up.

Lock HIM up.

He’s not even the acting secretary since he was illegally appointed, right? Time Congress started sending out sergeant-at-arms to haul these people in. LockHimUp

Have him arrested by the Capitol police and throw him in jail.

Put him in jail!

Why does the SpeakerPelosi condition funding on compliance with committee requests? Congress needs to aggrandize its spending authorities greatly to get control over executive powers.

Arrest this 'greasy looking pawn ' immediately..

Just the fact that he is illegally occupying his position should be enough to bounce him out to the curb of Pennsylvania Avenue... 👀

Why don’t you go after his ass put him in jail.

Snatch him into a black van with no markings and miliarized mercenaries at the helm. Or do it the riggt way and enforce the 'under penalty' aspect.

Lock him up - you have the power to do so - so do it!!!!!

JulieLinden5 So tired of these people who think they are above the rules. Having a name like 'Chad' doesn't help.

What are laws?

Welcome to the Fourth Reich.

Bureaucrat ignoring the chain of command. Dude should be fired for insubordination!

Congress in my humble opinion out to expand their jail facility and make it setup for long-term accommodation... whenever these goons try to defy subpoena toss them in till a judge figures what to do with them.

This privileged, snob should be terminated immediately. Anyone else who did this would have been, unless they're in the Trump administration.

If they won't arrest him I blame the House. impotent

Democrat or Republican. They shouldn’t be allowed to this shit. Make a law to arrest them if they don’t. Imagine if Hillary pulled this? Everyone answers to the people. This is still the USA!

This is what the Trump / Barr admin. call law and order?Arrest the son of a bitch. I am sick and tired of everyone in the Trump admin. ignoring subpoenas. The rest of us would be in jail.

LawAndOrder Congress can zoom testimony from him in a jail cell.

Arrest him

President Bone Spurs is ruining our country.

It appears that even Nancy Pelosi gets her instructions from Putin and allows Trump officials to ignore subpoenas!!!

These people just keep defying our laws. What the fuck

Coward doesn't want to admit that the biggest threat to this country is Don and the white losers who support him. Probably doesn't help that he's one of them.

Arrest him.

Frat boy ignoring Rules? How typical.

IslandGirlPRV So subpoenas don't mean anything now...

Skipping subpoenas is how you get street cred with the Cons.

lockhimip

Subpoena literally means under penalty. Enforce now!

Because his time is more valuable than everyone else's. It's not like threats to the U.S. are important or anything.

The house needs to step up and take the 'bullshit' lies as just that and proceed to arrest these tRump lackies for breaking the law

Focus on his tax returns - that will get his attention.

All cowards.

Ha! Who's going to arrest him.

Well the trump era has shown us that subpoenas are useless

“Acting” 🙄... the 🍊🤡 Administration sure has a LOT of Actors 🎭

Chad Wolf? That sounds like a character in a crime drama on CBS. 'It's time to unleash...the Wolf. Chad Wolf.' 'This Wolf hunts alone' 'Prepare to become the boy who cried Wolf'

Contempt!!!

Have him arrested.

Barely functioning democracy

Arrest him!!!
