'Bringing this vote to the floor': Anna Paulina Luna has plan B to jail Merrick Garland
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) has a plan to incarcerate Attorney General Merrick Garland if he does not turn over tapes of President Joe Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur.
After two contempt resolutions against Garland passed out of committees, Republican leadership said they planned to press all their members to vote for contempt in the full House.
On Wednesday, Luna told War Room host Steve Bannon she had a "plan B" if Garland did not turn over the tapes, which were being withheld because the White House claimed executive privilege.
"There's something called inherent contempt, which hasn't been done since the early 1900s," Luna explained. "And actually, during my time when I was recovering from having my son, I read through the House rule book twice, and I actually found this on one of the pages."
"And so what this would allow is the Speaker of the House to essentially use the sergeant of arms as an enforcement authority," she continued. "And because Garland has not complied not just with one subpoena but two subpoenas, it would actually enable the sergeant of arms to go get Garland and basically hold him until he brings forward that information, or force him to essentially divulge and bring forward those recordings."

Luna said she would force a vote on the House floor ten days after Garland's criminal contempt vote.
"So that's my plan B. I'm planning on bringing this vote to the floor, which I can, ten days after we vote on contempt of Congress criminal out of Congress," she remarked.
