WASHINGTON - The U.S. House Oversight Committee voted on Wednesday to approve contempt of Congress citations against Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross for defying congressional subpoenas related to the U.S. Census. By a 24-15 vote, the panel recommended that the full House of Representatives find Barr and Ross in contempt for refusing to cooperate with an investigation of the Trump administration’s decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 U.S. Census.

They still believe that this sideshow distracts us from the truth, this is all they are counting on is us to be distracted from the truth, the truth is coming, when the full picture comes to be known it will forever be regarded as the greatest story ever told

I applaud Cummings for doing this, instead of making compromises like Rep. Nadler has been doing on the Judiciary Committee.

So what mean nothing words Congress and Senate are full of corruption Congressmen and Senators are in Contempt of the office they are supposed to serve

Consider me as having Contempt of Congress too!

My DEAR BELOVED OUNTRY is being destroyed by the Democratic Party. Watching their utter hatred for all of us and our elected President has broken my heart. Their lack of support for our own citizens, veterans, and future generations is beyond any-thing I ever imagined.
