    "There's a first time for everything"

    But we're talking about something that's been happening nearly constantly for decades, so you still seem lost.

    "We appear to have no procedure."

    But actually we do. It's not hard to find.

    There's your statutes.

    There's some relevant case law you should be aware of before you start contempt proceedings.

    So, now that I did the work and gave you the links, can you spot any reasons why Nancy Pelosi might be reluctant to certify contempt of Congress here?

    "We're pretty much fucked, unless something "happens"."

    Who is this we, pale-skin?

    "This guy has committed obstruction of justice. We do have statutes against that, don't we? I wish somebody would take the first step."

    The first step would be to come up with sufficient and credible evidence to sustain the allegation.

    Mueller spent a lot of money, I'm not sure on the final bill but it's somewhere north of $20million at least, investigated for years, and came up with nothing.

    Why do you find that so hard to accept?
