Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) said Democratic lawmakers are exploring how to arrest White House officials who do not comply with congressional subpoenas.
Tlaib told Detroit constituents at her “Congress, Coffee, and Conversation” event on Tuesday that lawmakers are focused on how best to take cabinet members into custody. “This is the first time we’ve ever had a situation like this,” she said. “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?”
“I’m not in those kinds of conversations but I’m asking, what happens? And they’re like ‘Rashida, we’re trying to figure it out ourselves because this is uncharted territory.’ They’re trying to be like: where are we gonna put them? Where we gonna hold them?” she added.
The above is an excerpt from the Washington Free Beacon.
“This is the first time we’ve ever had a situation like this,” she said after noting Democrats had met recently. “So they’re trying to figure out, no joke, they’re trying to figure out: is it the D.C. police that goes and gets them? We don’t know. Where do we hold them?”
She mentioned two officials specifically: Attorney General William Barr and Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross.
“I’m like you all, I ask the same questions: ‘what happens when they don’t comply?’” Tlaib said at the town hall. “We held Barr and Secretary Ross … in contempt. Well, what happens if they don’t continue to not comply [sic]?”

The Democrat Party IS NOT a political party, IT IS A ENEMY OF THE U.S.!!
These Democrats enemy are NOT working for
The Democrat Party only works for the power of the Democrat Party.
What we should be doing is arresting the dems in Congress for treason and an attempted coup, and shipping them off to GITMO.
Why waste money housing them in gitmo…
There will be no impeachment and if the Demobrats issue subpoenas they will be illegal and Trump’s staff and cabinet have every right to refuse to appear as there was NO impeachment inquiry vote taken in Congress. I don’t give a damn what Pelosi says. The Republican party should make every effort to oust the ‘Squad’ in their districts. Also grassroots campaigns for against every democratic representative in Congress such as Cummings, Schiff, Pelosi and Waters if they are up for reelection.
Red, we should ALREADY BE DOING those grassroots campaigns, to oust EVERYONE of these treasonous hacks. AND THE COWARDS in the GOP who stand back and are letting this happen!
This is definitely treason. They want to make it official. Trying to arrest Trump and his subordinates would start the new Civil War. This is highly illegal, as if the Dems care about laws.
They haven’t even formed an impeachment team yet. There’s no such thing as obstruction of justice if it’s not official. Until then it’s an illegal fishing expedition. Trump has no duty to comply with potential impeachment proceedings. They’re staging a coup. Nobody with an ounce of honesty could say otherwise.
I could see Trump declaring martial law. Drag all the traitors off to Gitmo to await sentencing and then hanging.
There won’t be any subpoenas you dullard. If the democraps in congress get to the point of issuing subpoenas, that means the Republicans in congress will also have subpoena power, and the democraps don’t want that. There is NO impeachment going on. The democraps are just putting on a show, hoping they can fool the people into abandoning Trump at the poles. Not going to happen you traitors.
baitfish:
“ hoping they can fool the people into abandoning Trump at the poles. Not going to happen you traitors.”
“This is the first time we’ve ever had a situation like this, she said”.
Her reference should have been to the Idiot, Occasional Cortex, and the 3 Freshman Domestic Terrorists in the House that have caused so much hate and discontent in the Demented-Dem Party.
Scruffy. LETS HOPE IT doesn’t happen!
Already issued them. Supposedly if they don’t comply it’ll be obstruction. Amazing, the Dems are now judge juror, probably executioner too.
Hey Rashida Racebaiter, I think we should put you in the nose cone of a rocket and send the rocket to North Korea. Rashida Racebaiting liberal TRAITOR. The rocket will be targeted to a garbage dump in North Korea. That will be a perfect ending for you Rashida, you will be sent by rocket to a communist country and you will be rocketed into a garbage dump!!!!!!!
Rashida’s rasping negative attitude will lead her down the path like Bernie’s Keep making things bad for her and she will have similar physical problems. People this evil need push-back and they will harm themselves. Two thumbs down to you icky-Rashida!
If the history of what happened to Obama Democrats who ignored subpoenas is predictive, nothing will happen to them. Of course, these are Republicans so it’s an entirely different set of rules.
Great question! And where are they being held? I would assume Republicans will be in the same facility. (Just kidding. We all know there were no consequences when Democrats ignored contempt rulings. )
I believe Eric Holder is still ruled in contempt.
Nothing happened to Obama’s people because the Congress is not part of the judicial branch and therefore does not have the power to arrest people. Someone needs to inform Talib that she isn’t a judge. Congress can only refer someone to the executive and judicial branches for prosecution if they feel laws have been broken. They can not execute the laws themselves. Talib wants to become queen, but the American Republic does not allow for one.
People from foreign countries seem to think that Congress is conducting some kind of judicial proceedings, but they are not. Impeachment may appear similar to judicial proceedings, but a judge can not impeach anyone. It is strictly a legislative function to strip someone of an office they have been elected to. Even if Congress impeaches someone, they still can’t be thrown in jail. They are only removed from office, kind of like being fired without an election.
AND like always, DEMS get away with snoffing their face at the law..
Arrest Democrap Tlaib and the rest of the squad for treason!
“Arrest Democrap Tlaib and the rest of the squad for ….!
Subversion!
Their actions are a naked attempt to overthrow our government
They believe they are above the law
Hey, Jota,
You are 100% correct so why not call them what they are ?
They are Muslim and they do not think of their selves as being “above the law”. In their minds they are the law.
THEN GET our Federal marshals to start DOING THEIR JOB.
She is one scary dude and should not be in a position of power. She does not reflex Americanism. That is why the Constitution says a President must be natural born.
This person is really SOMETHING! Traitor is my description!
Well, here she is proving she is nothing more than an ignorant stupid B-tch. You’ll elected her and we all have to put up with her. I guess she forgot to mention that Congress has NO authority to do this. But when you are as ignorant as she is, she can say whatever she wants. Once a P-G idiot, always a P-G idiot.
No knowledge of procedure. They can’t be educated so the procedural rules have to go.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) said Democratic lawmakers are exploring how to arrest White House officials who do not comply with congressional subpoenas.”
Congressional subpoenas for WHAT?
For you to go on a fishing expedition?
Democratic lawmakers could make better use of their time learning how the law works rather than persisting in their stupidity that they can make it up as they go along.
You first have to have evidence of wrong doing and you have none.
The President of the United States has sworn an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution so has a duty to make sure the money of the American people is not spent with corrupt sources and that includes Democrats who like to believe they are above the law.
I recall something about co-equal branches of government, right? I guess she missed that in Civics class…
They don’t teach Civics any longer. The Dreyfuss Initiative will make it mandatory in all public schools again.
Mudslimes care NOT about our rules of law..
And what will they do when armed Patriots March on Washington to bust out those they illegally imprisoned?
You honestly think that would happen??
This will start a civil war. The America Loving Patriots of this nation have had enough.
Their illegal “impeachment” game means nothing, nor are their subpoenas even enforceable. The guy to ask about contempt for real subpoenas would be eric holder. He showed them how it’s done.
rachid a fa supports people like the ones who attacked grandma.

It is who and what they are.
They make intolerance so easy.
Of course it’s no joke or secret that the Dem Party wants to imprison political opposition since the Dem Party is now being taken over & run by traitorous people hostile to America, liberty, freedom & a Govt by & for the people.
Even oblivious dummies can figure out that imprisoning political opposition, confiscating guns & instituting a state run propaganda media is only way tyrants & dictators can obtain & retain absolute power over the oppressed masses.
Dem Party has given up on the lies & sweet talk & now resorts to the tried & true methods of Hitler, Stalin, Papa Doc, Idi Amin, Khomeini, Kim Jung Un, Chairman Mao just to name a few of the historical bloodthirsty political terrorists who formed govt dictatorships & imprisoned, tortured, enslaved, oppressed & murdered millions.
If Dems have their way we will have a Chairman Soros or some such madman dictating every breath & step we take.
Supreme elder god-man-king soros…
The 4 eyed coke bottle pig face is being investigated for possible embezzlement and SHE wants to arrest Trump officials. Another example of the pot calling the kettle black. LOL!!!!
This Palestinian Muslim Terrorist Supporter has got to go. She is NOT an American. Plus, she is a foul mouthed cloven hooved creature like her allah.
“This is the first time we’ve ever had a situation like this,” she said. “So they’re trying to figure out, no joke, is it the D.C. police that goes and gets them?”
First time?
How about when the Obama White House and Holder ignored subpoenas from Congress and blocked every document request for YEARS – did they send out the police to round them up?
This lady is a dangerous lunatic.
Ahh, but as a fellow Dimbo-rat,she doesn’t CONSIDER THAT an example..
Rashida-Tlaib is the epitomy of treason and sedition and should be investigated by the DOJ, tried, convicted and deported along with the rest of her family. She is loud, vulgar and an absolute poor excuse for a member of the once highly respected institution of the Congress of the United States.
‘The goal of socialism is communism.’ – Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, 1912.
This is NOT an investigation into Russian interference, or an impeachment hearing, or Ukrainian quid pro quo – this is a COUP ATTEMPT, plain and simple, and HAS BEEN from the get-go!!
They better remember tho, before they go to far – Karma’s a *****!
Democrats are the enemy of liberty and the Constitution sand they relentlessly shred the fabric of our Republic.
No, Rashida, it’s NOT the D.C. Metro cops. Congress, the Supreme Court Building and the White House are all FEDERAL territory. If the D.C. cops try to arrest anyone on Federal territory, they’ll run smack into the Secret Service or the Federal Marshals, who, hopefully will be the ones arresting YOU for treason…
THOSE marshals, SHOULD ALREADY BE DOING THAT, as well as arresting every scumbag mayor and governor of ALL THESE SANCTUARY cities!!!!!!!
Read your constitution, the one you vowed to follow and defend. Until the vote has been counted you have no legal right to subpoena anyone.
Remember though, THEY CARE NOT ABOUT neither the constitution OR THEIR OATH to uphold it.. All the while the pee all over the thing.
How is this not taken as a threat and investigated by AG ?!?
OR the secret service for that matter.
