Keeping fake illegal immigrant families together dailysign.al/2H8Bbxt via @michellemalkin @DailySignal

Trump’s efforts to close the loopholes that aid and abet this transnational illegal immigrant kiddie smuggling racket have been condemned as heartless. But what’s truly inhumane are the virtue signalers who use and abuse children as pawns in their ruthless,pursuit of open borders

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., said the real goal of the House majority is impeachment.
“This hearing is not about the attorney general. It is not about the Mueller report,” Gaetz said, adding:....

....This is all about impeaching the president. Now why don’t they just say it? Why don’t they just jump to the impeachment proceedings like their liberal media overlords are telling them to do?...

....The reason is that the American people don’t support impeachment and it’s easy to see why. They actually elected Donald Trump as president of the United States."

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Wed morning addressed efforts by House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., to obtain more documents. “Neither the White House nor Attorney General Barr will comply with Chairman Nadler’s unlawful and reckless demands,”

“The attorney general has been transparent and accommodating throughout this process, including by releasing the no-collusion, no-conspiracy, no-obstruction Mueller report to the public and offering to testify before the committee,” Sanders said.

“Faced with Chairman Nadler’s blatant abuse of power, and at the attorney general’s request,” she added, “the president has no other option than to make a protective assertion of executive privilege.”

Nadler noted that in past special prosecutors’ investigations, the Justice Department asked a court to make grand jury information available to Congress. He referred to the probes of former Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy in the 1990s and to the Iran-Contra probe in the 1980s.

“As a co-equal branch of government, we must have access to the materials that we need to fulfill our constitutional responsibilities in a manner consistent with past precedent,” Nadler said in opening remarks,

Nadler said that after the vote, the House likely would pursue the contempt charge as a civil matter. Barr could become the second attorney general in history to be held in contempt of Congress, after Attorney General Eric Holder in 2012.

Rep. Jim Jordan, reminded colleagues that Mueller is expected to testify May 15. “Mr. Mueller is going to be here next week. You’re going to get to ask the guy that wrote the whole darn document. We’re all going to get to ask him [about redacted information],” Jordan said.

“Why don’t you hold off on this contempt until at least the guy who wrote the thing, who spent 22 months and $35 million with a bunch of Democratic lawyers putting it together, why don’t you ask him next week?”

“We said, ‘Guess what, Mr. Barr? You either get held in contempt or you violate federal law, becauses that’s just the way we do things in Judiciary Committee these days,’” Biggs said. “That is unprecedented and will hold this committee up to derision.”
