1. will they show up

that is the question

[crickets]

3. And a good question.

Meanwhile, this is going on as well:

House Dems propose strengthening Congress’ contempt power to break administration stonewalls

I think they ought to go back to threatening arrest by the Sergeant at Arms👇, but this is at least a step in the right direction.

6. Absolutely!

Lock him up when he ignores his "invitation."

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. August 24 is the first day of the GOP convention- sweet. Nt

15. Smart!

23. Question: in order to invoke inherent contempt aren't they going to have to change the date and

subpoena him instead of inviting him??

[malaise]

24. We need a DU expert on this subject

I do not qualify

[triron]

5. Don't request they testify, subpoena their asses NOW.

[SheltieLover]

7. This!👆

Time to play HARDBALLL!

9. Sorry, no can do. (Although I agree with you 110%.)

About all we can do is issue sternly worded letters, and issue subpoenas that (which in the past could NOT be ignored) now aren't worth the paper they are printed on.

They've yet to bring the Sgt. at Arms for ANYONE. THAT should have been done while the, now completely irrelevant, Mueller report was being put together. Soon IT will be judged as an ILLEGAL report, started as a witch hunt hoax, based on questions that never should have been asked.

It's a little late to start insisting on following rules and procedures. Rules and procedures are for the little people, poor people, democrats. Not for rich people OR republicans.

However, I WOULD be surprised, impressed and enthusiastically supportive of ANY such move. HOPE springs eternal...

[SheltieLover]

10. They most certainly could

Will they? I doubt it. Should they? Absolutely!

There likely isn't time to replace the removed & destroyed sorting machines as it is!

PLAY HARDBALL! NOW!

[Generic Brad]

16. Then be prepared for a swift and harsh disproportionate response

For every one GOPer held in contempt, Trump will hit back and arrest three Democrats. I could see him getting so extreme that he would jail Obama, Clinton and Biden on phony charges.

[Ligyron]

19. You're right unfortunately ...

I hate to say that too.

Full time, non stop serious press coverage interfering somewhat with the Orange one's GOP Con invention would be the best we could hope for and that probably won't happen sadly.

SO we should do it anyway for sure.

[Mr.Bill]

20. We have never seen the Mueller report.

We have only seen the redacted Mueller report.

This will change when Biden is president and we have a real AG.

One little glitch is I sadly predict Biden, along with many others from the Obama administration, will be arrested by Barr before the election.

8. That's niiiiiicce...

They have destroyed HOW MANY mail sorters already? Those are gone for good. They won't touch the remainder, they will just, literally, CUT the cords, or in some way make them unusable.

They say they will STOP removing postal drop boxes. Do you actually BELIEVE them?

They removed HOW MANY postal drop boxes already? Do you seriously think the are going to put them back?

As Rachel says, "Don't listen to what they say. Watch what they DO."

This is all part of the plan. The turd couldn't "plan" his way out of a WET brown paper bag. But the traitors BEHIND him can, Bannon, Miller, DeJoy and Putin.

Even if they stopped immediately, the plan was to have done enough damage by the time the media got wind of it, they would ALREADY have succeeded.

They KNEW they would be caught. The damage has already been done.

It looks like the only option is to use the approved drop boxes, and have them guarded 24/7.

If Biden is really going to address "accountability", EVERY ONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS SCHEME will be in jail.

[SheltieLover]

11. TN does not allow for drop boxes! Other states may be the same way

Please check your laws to plan accordingly.

YES. EVERY SINGLE COCONSPIRATOR, INCLUDING CHUMPUTIN ***MUST*** BE TRIED & IMPRISONED!

Fk this double standard!

[OMGWTF]

22. In WA state they're putting huge locks on the mailboxes

Rendering them unusable. WA is 100% mail-in voting.

18. dejoy will ask what questions they want answered in writing & will mail in his response.

[DFW]

21. I'm sure he'd love to mail in his response

The mail is kinda slow these days. He'd be retired by the time it got to the committee.
