I was a career prosecutor and I learned early on to be certain that I never “shot blanks”. It is essential that this committee have all their plans ready, and a fast track team geared up to serve, file, arrest, and prosecute those who have been served a lawful subpoena. There is far too much delay and time wasted. Truly, Justice delayed is Justice denied.

This tactic, referring these traitors to the DOJ, only works if the DOJ works.

Based on the last 10 months, I’m not convinced that Merrick Garland has what it takes to act aggressively to save our democracy.

I hope I’m wrong and your optimism is well placed.

Words, words, words...That is all we get. People tell you if you see something, say something. I saw, I said and I would like the ones in charge of all this wrongdoing, to do something...now! This has to be done. If Garland and Wray won't do anything, we need to replace them. Bannon should have been arrested by now. No one is being arrested or indicted. How much information do you need? The DOJ and FBI don't have reams of information organized yet? Hire more people. I give you permission to spend my tax dollars on a worthy cause. All these Republicans do is slap us in the face and laugh behind our backs. For once, can't people who believe in democracy have the last word?

Media pundits claim that many Democrats are reluctant to push for criminal charges because the Republicans can then turn around and exercise the same enforcement if they gain control of Congress. We, the people, must demand accountability no matter the party being investigated. It is time that we voters and taxpayers finally fight for the rule of law for every citizen, regardless of position, station, or party.

I couldn't agree more. It seems we were bamboozled into thinking Garkand was a Democrat. It appears more likely he is a conservative & would have been as bad on the SCOTUS as Kavanaugh & Coney- Barret. We're screwed with this Garland DOJ.

I have great respect for Rep. Schiff, he has tried time and again to get the House to use their power of inherent contempt to enforce subpoenas, sadly, the septuagenarians that run the House refuse to use the power we fought so hard to give them. Going to “court” will take year# and years.
