Why was the census question removed? This is not a new proposal. This is obvious why Democrats are for all the illegal invasion at the border. Will all the homeless people in all the Democrat run Sanctuary Cities be included?

“We demand you break the law...”

How about McGhan? All 3 should be in jail.

Oh no!! They must be terrified... LOLOL

When is the Congress going to begin acting on our Country’s Legislation? The Border Invasion needs their immediate attention and no one seems to care. Unfortunately, the democrats understand that the electorate have short Memories!

Congress is never contemptable.

zynr07 Defiance of a coequal branch of government should have consequences. Obstruction of justice by this administration in real time.

The House Oversight Committee has clearly shown that their are a bunch of idiots totally out of control, I hope folks remember their behavior come election time

And the will be there to defend the lawless GOP every step of the way.

About time

Dems are crazy and out of control

Shake me timbers - SO WHAT! The DEM-WIT House does more time and resource wasting grandstanding before their yellow lap dog DEM licking liberal media by holding good public servants in contempt. Big deal!

Yeah like that’s going anywhere..the Democrats are really really lost in space

'She believed that her father [i.e., Thomas Hofeller...or insert Republican name of your choice] was more interested in creating a permanent Republican ruling class than upholding democracy.'

Finally

That would be newsworthy if it actually mattered.

It’s about time this system of government starts to work properly.

Lol... These little wiener democrats are running 😨 scared. They are absolutely pandering to the most stupid and disgusting people in our society! They are going to give Trump a landslide in 2020! MAGA!

Crazy

As ignorant as move as I’ve heard. Who ties these peoples shoes in the morning and helps with their dresses?

You don't want to make the dealer mad. After all, he is still holding all the cards.

Excellent.

Ho hum. In other news ....

House committee are just making this so much easier for the Make America Great Again on going movement. Very few of our citizens are happy with them. Losing is so hard for them

They are pitiful, just disgusting

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❗️

They are under investigation for political spying.

And what about Mnuchin?

Oh well, good try

good!!! deserved!!!!

Bet they are shaking in their boots. This will go against Demmies big time.

Yes she’s bringing her handcuffs.

Lock up the 🤡 he can afford to lose the weight

Bad look for Dems

Won’t happen, waste of time as Demtards can’t think of anything to do to help America

Democrats are ruining the economy more than anything.

About time

Because Hillary bought an illegal FBI wiretap on Trump Tower from Russians?

yawn

ABOUT TIME!

Congress is just pissing in the wind, as this will be ignored just like all the others were.

Just an extension of partisan witch hunt with no legislative value. This do-nothing House needs to start legislating instead of useless investigations for the good of Americans.

Desperate people do desperate things. Impeachment is (a bomb) just waiting to explode. Once it drops, the body count is going to be unbelievable.

ContemptOfCongress

It don’t matter. They’re not winning in 2020.

The House is a joke. Get to work making our nation better and stop trying to degrade those you don't like!

Good now have them arrested! jail ImpeachBarrandTrump

the contemptuous william barr - not the best title for an AG.

About darn time

Don’t forget to add McGahn

The congress moved to hold a contemptuous Attorney General, William Barr and just as contemptuous Commerce Secretary, Wilbur Ross in contempt of the third equal branch of U.S. Government.

Ross and Barr to Congress............ one for you... one for yo mama.

Barr says Justice Department and Mueller sparred over 'legal analysis' in Russia reportIn an exclusive interview with 'CBS This Morning,' Attorney General William Barr says special counsel Robert Mueller could have said whether he believes President Trump committed a crime. CBS News chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford traveled with Barr to Alaska, where he is listening to the unique concerns of native Alaskans. She pressed the attorney general on issues ranging from obstruction of the Russia investigation, to his review of how that probe began in 2016. Why are we STILL arguing here, the Mueller report is OUT. NO Russian Collusion BY any AMERICAN. Period. With no underlying collusion “crime” their is also NO obstruction. Time to move on. Yeah, Göring.

Amash accuses Barr of selling Trump's 'false narrative'Rep. Justin Amash charged that Barr, as the nation’s top law enforcement officer, has “used his position to sell the president's false narrative to the American people.” MelissaJPeltier And Jordan is correct. Anybody who believes a word coming from Barr’s mouth also believes that the tax cuts helped working class people. Sometimes you can’t fix stupid. Barr is doing a false narrative, the American people hopefully will not be blindsided. Barr as his own agenda and Trump is so incompetent to see it. Corruption is so deep in the WH and for person to give a 19 pg. Summary for a job that's suspicious in itself.

Mueller contradicts BarrIn setting the record straight today, Robert Mueller contradicted Attorney General William Barr about Mueller's own report, particularly on Trump's potential obstruction of justice. What was the crime? I missed that part. Mueller made Barr look like the cartoon character and liar he is.
