Congress has the Power to ARREST Hunter Biden!
Summary
Transcript
In this case, it would be the sergeant of arms for the House. Go get the witness and haul him in and detain him until he’s ready to testify. Now that used to be the way it was done up until, I don’t think it’s been done since the 30s. So it’s really now dormant, right? That power, it hasn’t been exercised. And obviously he can be prosecuted. Right, for, or someone who’s in contempt of Congress can be prosecuted under federal law, which may be good, but it’s not going to get you the testimony, and it may not vindicate the Congress’s desire to get the information as they’re able to do under their constitutional powers.
So, as I said, they don’t want you to know this because they would have you think that, oh, well, Hunter didn’t show up and there’s nothing we can do, especially because of the Biden Justice Department. There is something they can do. I don’t know if it requires a rule change, but it’s easily done. If the majority wants to, in my view, they can find him in contempt and get the sergeant of arms to haul him in and make him testify.
Otherwise, he sits in the detention facility in the US capitol. Now, do I know there’s a detention facility in the US capitol? No, but I’m sure they can find someplace if there isn’t. But I suspect there is. I shouldn’t say like this is another tool of Congress that they have to ensure compliance with congressional subpoenas that they just don’t want to enforce or use because it gets sticky.
They don’t want to have to arrest people and detain people. Now, you may be concerned that Congress has that authority. Well, if you don’t like it, you’ll have to change the constitution. And it was used repeatedly in the first part of our nation’s history up until, as I said, of the 1930s. It was most recently threatened against the Nixon administration. I think Sam Irvin one of the Watergate investigators on the Hill used to threaten it every other day to recastle witnesses in Nixon’s orbit.
So this is another option. And if they want the testimony of Hunter Biden, there are other ways to get it, as opposed to just waiting around for a court either to enforce the subpoena through civil means or for the federal government to prosecute him, which obviously doesn’t get you the testimony. Close. .
