    Rashida Tlaib Again Threatens To Have Trump Officials Jailed

    Rashida Tlaib Again Threatens To Have Trump Officials Jailed
    David Krayden

    Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib has again said House Democrats will arrest and detain White House officials who resist the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
    Tlaib claimed the subject was a mater of discussion in the Democratic caucus and again issued the threat in a Saturday interview with Deadline Detroit.
    “If they were to detain someone, where would they go and have them detained so that they can comply with the subpoenas?” Tlaib told the outlet. “There have been actual serious conversations about what the logistics would look like … if we did have to force someone through a court order to come before the Congressional committee. This is pretty uncharted territory for many of us and even for Congress.”
    Tlaib spoke after having a town hall meeting with Democrats of her 13th district, who are organizing a food collection for striking General Motors autoworkers.
    The congresswoman was asked how likely it was that the Department of Justice under Attorney General William Barr would force Trump officials to testify before Democratic-controlled House committees.
    “One of the people we held in contempt was Barr,” Tlaib said. “We are using our own legal support, legal experts that are coming in … beyond the tainted and conflicted U.S. Attorney [General’s] office.”
    Trump has said that neither he nor his administration plans to cooperate with the “constitutionally illegitimate” impeachment inquiry.
    Tlaib previously mentioned the threat of incarcerating Trump officials when she was speaking to constituents at an informal coffee event.
    “This is the first time we’ve ever had a situation like this,” she reportedly said. “So they’re trying to figure out, no joke, they’re trying to figure out, well, is it the D.C. police that goes and gets them? We don’t know. Where do we hold them?”
    Tlaib suggested people like Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross could be jailed in Detroit.

    “So I just want you to know I will relay your message, I will tell them they can hold all those people right here in Detroit, we’ll take care of them, and make sure they show up to the committee hearings. We won’t hurt them,” she said. “We’ll make sure they come and show, right? I’ll make sure that you’re in charge.”
    Tlaib started off her congressional career by calling for Trump’s impeachment, infamously promising supporters that she would work to “impeach the motherfu**er.”

    So here comes Tlaib who's wanting to jail the entire executive branch for a handful of democrats.
    Will she actually try this or is it even more Detroit trash talk? This woman needs to be imprisoned for threatening the WH, IMO.

    Meh Tlaib is a typical leftist.....talks a lot of $#@!. Cant back up her play.

    But someone needs to let her know Traitors don't have to be shot for execution. They can be hung on a tree limb.

    She will be gone when she is up for re-election. Her district finds her lacking.

    As an aside: the House must vote for an impeachment inquiry before it can start.
