If you believe the government should have to get a warrant to read Americans’ communications, CALL YOUR SENATORS AND TELL THEM “NO SECTION 702 EXTENSION ON THE NDAA WITHOUT A CERTIFICATION CAP.” What does that mean? I’ll explain. 1/15

So now is the time for action. The procedural vote on the Section 702 extension will take place tomorrow. Retweet this, and then call your senators and tell them: “NO SECTION 702 EXTENSION WITHOUT A CERTIFICATION CAP.” @SenSchumer @LeaderMcConnell 14/15

.@ChadPergram please ask @SpeakerMcCarthy if he is willing to fully assert the constitutional authority of Congress to enforce its subpoenas by using inherent contempt. A speedy, modernized version based on heavy fines instead of arrest is available. bit.ly/2LunBZU

18. SSA Shapley’s email to ASAC Watson continued: “Since my legally protected disclosures, you have drastically changed how you interact with me, effectively isolating me...Your actions circumventing me in my job functions [have] become a pattern.”

The classified documents retained by both Biden and Trump belong to the American people and their elected representatives—not to unelected bureaucrats.
Congress clearly has the authority and the power to obtain copies of those documents.
Act like it. Do your job.

Do something more than “demand.” Issue a subpoena. Use your inherent Constitutional authorities to enforce it. Congress should draw the line here in a bipartisan way and stand up to the Executive Branch for a change. abcnews.go.com/Politics/sena…

When @TheJusticeDept stiff arms Congress, it is stiff arming you, the American people.
Regardless of your politics, you should want your constitutionally elected representatives to have access to information controlled by the unelected bureaucrats.

Sponsored by @RepTedLieu, H.Res. 1029 would create a process whereby the House could directly penalize executive branch officials who defy congressional #Subpoenas.
The resolution could be adopted in the next Rules Package. goodgovernmentnow.org/2020/1…

Yes. Absolutely essential for the House to be able to enforce its rules with inherent contempt powers @GoodGovNow @RepTedLieu – at Washington, DC

The repeated ignoring of congressional committees is why we need to pass our inherent contempt bill that would authorize up to $100,000 in fines for witnesses who ignore congressional subpoenas.

Reminder: Biden is not about to play the role of surrendering POTUS power back to Congress, nor will he decline to stretch executive authority if he can get away with it.

New: The three-judge D.C. Circuit panel now handling the House subpoenas for Trump business records from accounting firm Mazars USA will hold oral arguments Oct. 20.
And they have some questions.

New: House Judiciary Committee asks the full DC Circuit to review the three-judge ruling against them in their effort to use the courts to force former WH Counsel Don McGahn to testify about Trump/Mueller.

What should we do, you ask? We should subpoena the Postmaster immediately and afford him the opportunity to testify. If he won’t, you ask? The Sergeant at Arms can detain anyone found in contempt of Congress. We’ve abdicated too much, and this is too important and time sensitive.

#FISA Connecting the dots: 3 months ago, footnote 350 IG Horowitz report was declassified. Showed multiple warnings to FBI Jan + Feb 2017 that dossier likely contained Russian disinformation. New docs @LindseyGrahamSC show dossier source also cast doubt on reliability Jan 2017.
