Yeah, well, Schiff can talk all he wants, I’ll believe his “pissed off” when he actually does something against the witnesses blowing off stuff.

Relevant to “doing something”: A House Police Force

A Continuing Round-Up of Trumpian Events

They have one, and at least hypothetically have the power to order Paul D. Irving to raise a posse and effect an arrest. It’s not been done since the 1930’s, but it could be. Given Congress’s plenary power over the District of Columbia, the posse would likely consist of the DC Metropolitan Police.
