Rep. Anna Paulina Luna

Yeah, because it's like, you know, you're supposed to represent your constituency.

So if you have people calling your office saying, don't you vote for this, then you vote against it.

It's like people forget that you're supposed to represent, right, representative instead of just do what the party wants.

But, you know, there are mechanisms that have existed –

since Thomas Jefferson, who wrote our damn rule manual that enable us to actually pass legislation and actually hold agencies and people accountable from a punitive perspective.

And I don't know if you were tracking, but like I brought a vote on the former attorney general for basically refusing to testify to Congress and respond to a subpoena.

And that was called inherent contempt.

And a lot of Congress was like, what the hell is inherent contempt?

It hadn't been done since the early 1900s.

And I actually read it in the rule manual and I read the rule manual twice.

It's like so crazy what happens when you read books.

But we were able to find this out.

And it was a mechanism that Congress can use to actually basically send the sergeant at arms to go arrest people.

Especially when we're facing a massive deficit and you see that the Pentagon hasn't been able to pass the audit in I don't know how many years.

It's definitely wrong that it's happening for sure.

What I will tell you, though, is the issue that we have with bringing forward legislation that would give mass amnesty and pardon to these people is that there are people within the intelligence community and within Congress on both sides that will try to – if you come forward with this – and I'll tell you a very prime example of this in a moment –

That they will block it.

They don't want it to pass.

They will stop it from even coming to the floor.

They won't bring legislation that will address it because they want to keep this information secret.
