D House focus on POTUS = 'insurance' extension from MUELLER to House.

Q mentioned in a post last week that the Mueller Investigation was "insurance" to protect Dems from prosecution. But Q said (#2643) that that insurance is expiring, which I concluded meant that the Mueller Investigation will be coming to a close soon. So here, Q is saying that the Dem House is taking over from the Mueller Investigation, because the Dems are still desperately looking for some "insurance" to protect them from imminent prosecution for their crimes.

GJ testimony underway in several states. (GJ = Grand Jury) However, Grand Jury testimonies are under way in several states, so.....

Attempts to BLOCK/PROTECT themselves will FAIL. .....so attempts to block or protect themselves will FAIL.

Far beyond political corruption/sedition.

We are talking about crimes way beyond just political corruption and sedition. (We are talking Treason and attempts to murder POTUS???)

Law governing removal of a sitting Congress(m/w)/Senator?

What are the laws regarding removing a sitting Congressman/woman or Senator? Article I, Section 6, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution states that a sitting Senator or Congressman/woman CAN be arrested while Congress is in Session. Its ok, as long as the Senator/Congressman/woman was being charged with Treason or a Felony. They can be arrested in the middle of a speech or a vote for Treason or a Felony, but for minor charges they can not be arrested while Congress is in session (ex: can't be arrested for J-walking while Congress is in session). More on this further below.

Lights on.

Q

An Anon pointed out that Q used to end with "enjoy the show", which is something one would say before a show will start. Now he is saying "lights on" or LET IT BEGIN.

Here's the LAW:

The Senators and Representatives...shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony, and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same....

Article I, Section 6, Clause 1

The clause, does not provide Congress with any immunity from criminal prosecution.

Privilege from Arrest

The Privilege from Arrest Clause provides a Member of Congress a privilege from civil arrest only, but not from other civil processes. Even the privilege from civil arrest would be valid only while Congress is in session.

Civil arrest is the physical detainment of a person, by lawful authority, to answer a civil demand against him. At the time the Constitution was adopted, civil arrests were common. Long v. Ansell (1934). The Framers likely feared this tool could be misused to interfere with the legislative process. Civil arrest is rarely, if ever, practiced, so this clause is virtually obsolete and has little application today.

The Supreme Court interpreted the language "in all Cases, except Treason, Felony, and Breach of the Peace" to encompass all crimes. Williamson v. United States (1908). Tracing the origins of the clause to parliamentary privilege, the Court found this identical language was used to qualify Parliament's privilege from arrest so that the members of Parliament were not immune from criminal prosecution. The Court concluded that the Framers' use of the identical phrase, without any explanation, indicated that Congress's privilege was to have the same limitation regarding criminal actions as did the parliamentary privilege from which the language was borrowed. The clause, therefore, does not provide Congress with any immunity from criminal prosecution.

The Supreme Court, applying the Framers' intent, later declared that the clause also did not provide any privilege from civil process. Long v. Ansell. Hence, civil litigants can compel Members of Congress to appear in a court of proper jurisdiction to defend against civil actions. Furthermore, the Court has so narrowly interpreted the clause that Members of Congress may even be compelled by subpoena to testify in criminal and civil actions while Congress is in session.
