House Oversight votes to hold William Barr and Wilbur Ross in contempt

Updated on: June 12, 2019 / 5:19 PM / CBS News

The House Oversight Committee voted Wednesday to hold both Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in contempt of Congress for not complying with subpoenas for documents related to the Trump administration's controversial decision to add a question on U.S. citizenship to the 2020 census.

The committee passed the resolution by a vote of 24-15. Just one Republican, Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, joined Democrats in voting yes.

What are the consequences of being held in contempt?

So far I haven't seen any. Well haven't seen any enforced, so I'm genuinely curious.

I thought Humpty Dumpty agreed to put contempt vote on hold since Barr was making expanded version of investigation reports available. We know that's likely because the grand juries are complete with respect to those specific investigations....

I am trying to figure out if this is a vote to vote on holding them in contempt or they are held in contempt.

Barr gave them the Mueller report minus grand jury stuff.

And Ross gave the black Elmer Fudd everything he wants but Elmer said there were some redactions...
quote:


The Commerce Department has said the agency has already turned over "nearly 14,000" pages of documents requested by the House Oversight Committee. But before the vote, Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, the chair of the committee, complained that the "vast majority" of the documents provided by the document were already public. Many, he said, were "printouts from the internet." Others were heavily redacted.

Ranking member Rep. Jim Jordan denied the Trump administration was stonewalling and accused Democrats on the committee of not wanting to know how many citizens there are in the country.

Now the MSM/DNC can paint Barr as a bad. This is all this is about-- is the CNN headline that says 'Trump's AG and Commerce Sec. are criminals and so is Trump.'

Yeah, I guess when they all got the DOJ letter yesterday; they saw they have to paint Barr and Trump as in a bad way. Nadler is the one who said he was getting what he wanted and put off the contempt vote, so black Elmer Fudd was passed the baton.
