House to vote on measure demanding Justice turn over documents

House to vote on measure demanding Justice turn over documents

By Melanie Zanona - 06/27/18 12:33 PM EDT 

The House will vote Thursday on a resolution demanding that the Department of Justice and FBI hand over sensitive documents sought by congressional Republicans, according to a GOP aide.

The floor vote represents the latest escalation in an ongoing feud between top law enforcement officials and House Republicans.

On Tuesday, the House Judiciary Committee agreed to advance the resolution, which calls on the DOJ to turn over all of the documents House Republicans have requested related to the FBI's handling of investigations during the 2016 presidential election.

House Republicans view the resolution, which is not enforceable, as one final warning shot to the law enforcement agency before lawmakers move to impeach or hold senior officials in contempt of Congress.

As I recall didn't the House vote to have Holder turn over documents and still nothing happened?

So, does this mean that if the DOJ doesn't turn over the requested documents this time...

there's going to be an even hotter, more hellish Hell to pay?

About the only thing they can do is impeach, and pull the purse strings on their budget.

If anything calls for firm/drastic action, this does.
