    The Dims are clutching at straws and this is just some more antics on their part.

    I couldn’t find the article I read, but basically it said:

    1. We’re talking two different and separate branches of government and the congressional Sergeant of Arms would have to go up against the DOJ. (DOJ got guns too!)

    2. The DOJ are not going to arrest their own, in fact, if they were even obliged to try they would simply be fired by their boss, Barr.

    3. Trump may very well fire anyone who tries to arrest Barr.

    4. Barr is 2 steps ahead of the Dems in the legal precedence and is carefully following the law. If it came down to it the SCOTUS would be brought into the matter in an expedited fashion and Barr would win.

    First, the House would have to use the US Capitol Police. Where they would hold him I don't know. DC probably won't let them use its faciilities.

    Who do they have to use to arrest him? To house him? The justice Department, which is under the executive branch. Justice Dept attorneys and the White House attorneys are the ones who told him he didn't have to appear.

    I don't think they can use the Capital police. C.P. are under executive branch.

    Nope, looked it up on Wiki. The Capitol Police are under the legislative. They grew out of a watchman Congress hired back in the day.

    Hmm, better than a game of chess.

    So will there be the cuffs and the perp walk out of Barr's house at 0400 hours?

    Obama's AG Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress and nothing happened to him.

    If the Congress gets their hands on the unredacted report, then one of the Dems will release it to the public and American methods and sources as well as foreign methods and sources will be revealed. The Brits were working with the Dems and who knows what else? Congress would not protect American secrets. Imagine how quickly someone like Omar or even Andre Carson from Indianapolis would betray the secrets in the redactions to the world.

    Arrest powers lie in the executive branch. That is a basic Constitutional. Concept. Trey Gowdy explained in detail a couple years ago why the house had no legal ability to enforce a contempt order outside use of the justice dept.
    Think about what executice means. It's legal definition is the same as its regular definition.

    Reynolds, I probably should have written, "The House would try to use the Capitol Police to arrest the AG." And the CP tell them to pound sand. However, from wiki:
    The USCP is the only full service federal law enforcement agency responsible to the legislative branch of the U.S. government.
    The United States Capitol Police has the primary responsibility for protecting life and property; preventing, detecting, and investigating criminal acts; and enforcing traffic regulations throughout a large complex of congressional buildings, parks, and thoroughfares. The Capitol Police has exclusive jurisdiction within all buildings and grounds of the United States Capitol complex as well as the Library of Congress. It also has concurrent jurisdiction with other law enforcement agencies, including the United States Park Police and the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia, in an area of approximately 200 blocks around the complex.​

    IOW, it's not under the DoJ like the FBI or the courts like the Marshalls.

    Barr is going nowhere, least of all, to jail.

    A journey down a previous vote to hold a US Attorney General in contempt, according to The Guardian.
    From Eric Holder held in contempt of Congress after historic vote

    It's like déjà vu all over again.

    Why do the Dems want to release US secrets to the world? I understand the Brits were working for the Clintons on the dossier so do we want all those details in public? The secrets are Dem secrets.
