"House Democrats on the Judiciary Committee voted to find Attorney General William Barr in contempt for not complying with the panel's subpoenas to provide documents related to special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia report."
Sadly, the new "norm" in the US is that lying is OK. Barr used to have a good reputation .. but as with most people who take a job in the Trump administration, he has to lie to stay in our King Donald's and his loyal flock's good graces. There are no longer any checks and balances in our government ... King Donald is systematically getting rid of those.
Well he did write that 4 page summary so he is probably frazzled out and could have developed Carpal tunnel symptoms. I watched a clip of him being questioned he looked stress and scared because he knows he has dug himself into a hole and sooner or later he will be going to jail. Cheers!
"House Democrats on the Judiciary Committee voted to find Attorney General William Barr in contempt for not complying with the panel's subpoenas to provide documents related to special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia report."
"....he should be jailed for failure to appear..." Barr was not under subpoena to appear before the House Committee.
What they put him in contempt for was not releasing the Mueller report unredacted. Legally the AG is not allowed to release it unredacted. Grand jury and classified information is illegal to release.
Holder was also held in contempt of Congress as well.
Maybe, but that's no basis for sending anyone else to prison. Sorry, but nothing can be done now, to Barr or anyone else, to reverse the 2016 election results.
And nothing can be done now to reverse Obama's 8 years in office. It's time to stop holding up Obama's administration as an example when Trump wants to do something immoral, illegal or unpresidential.
You don't think Trump is unpresidential? You all thought Holder was wrong and shouldn't have gotten away with doing what he did, but ow that Trump is doing it - or wants to do it - it's OK because Holder did it. How about justifying doing something because there is a substantial basis for it - not because someone else got away with something.

Because everyone acts like everything that happens is new and the world is going to explode.
Just showing that everything they complain about their previous Presidents/administrations have done as well.

There is probably no prior president that has flouted the law or the Constitution to the extent that Trump has. Certainly, no prior president has lied as much.
