[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't Chaffetz threaten to arrest the mayor and any other DC Government officials who he can link to talking about what to do with about this? Who would do the arresting and where would she be held? Also what if they did a all for one thing and all wanted to be arrested? Would the police be placed under arrest for not enforcing the congressional rule?[/quote] On what specific charges would he arrest DC government officials?[/quote] The charges would be violating the Anti-Deficiency Act. Nobody has ever been charged under that law, but it would be a federal offense. So, a federal law enforcement agency would have to make the arrests, perhaps FBI or Marshals. Chaffetz himself does not have police powers. So, all he can do is refer the violation to the authorities. I can imagine Holder giving him quite the run-around. [/quote]
