Still seeing a lot of confusion about @RepThomasMassie and @RoKhanna’s “inherent contempt” move. Here’s what you need to know: -This is NOT a federal charge. (It’s a “procedural” charge) -Trump CANNOT pardon “inherent contempt” -EITHER the House or Senate can charge inherent contempt by itself, and does NOT need both Houses to agree. -The Sergeant-at-Arms would arrest the person in contempt and bring them before the House for a trial. -Failure to resolve means they can be held in custody of Congress. -Perjury in this session is its own new crime. -If Trump pardoned perjury OR the cover-up during this then: A) Bondi loses her 5th amendment protections related to those crime and can be compelled to testify. AND B) The pardon itself would be a “pardon of ill-intent” and its acceptance creates a new crime of blackmail/conspiracy as it’s part of a cover-up - creating a liability for Bondi AND the President, as it’s no longer an “official act” AND C) Contempt is a continual crime. If the pardon forgave prior contempt and Bondi was still in contempt after, it would be a new crime not protected by the pardon. This is why Massie and Ro have chosen this specific legal action. It’s rarely ever been used because the optics require A LOT of united political will. But, it’s a very clever and specific charge that Congress has for EXACTLY this purpose, so that the President cannot have his DoJ side-step Congressional authority.(Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth))
