Remember, this is definitely not a coup based on Democrats being upset that they lost in 2016
Rashida Tlaib: Democrats Exploring Ways to Arrest Trump Cabinet Members
(Video at the Link) Far-left “Squad†member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) told constituents on Tuesday that her Democrat colleagues are looking into how to arrest White House officials who refuse to comply with subpoenas as part of an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.
Speaking to her constituents at a town hall in her hometown of Detriot, Tlaib said Democrats are puzzled about how to arrest Cabinet secretaries, telling voters in a video captured by America Rising PAC that they could be taken into custody if Congress votes to hold them in contempt.
“This is the first time we’ve ever had a situation like this,†said Tlaib. “So they’re trying to figure out, no joke, is it the D.C. police that goes and gets them? We don’t know. Where do we hold them?â€
House Democrats are in “uncharted territory†and “trying to tread carefully,†the Michigan Democrat went on.
“I will tell them they can hold all those people right here in Detroit,†she quipped “We’ll take care of them and make sure they show up to the committee hearings.â€
Interesting. At no time did Republicans consider arresting recalcitrant Obama officials such as Eric Holder, even when held in contempt. Team Obama was literally allowed to slow walk almost everything, and even refuse to show documents and hold back witnesses.
Authoritarians like Tlaib love using the State to enforce their will.
