Could the House not just vote to hold in Inherent Contempt

and put in jail all those — like Lewandowski — who are claiming “absolute privilege”?

And/or assess a fine of $10k — which doubles EVERY DAY thereafter? (Do the math. This would reach staggering numbers, quickly.)

Might this finally get past the obstruction that’s going on?

IANAL. Could *conspirators* to commit obstruction be assessed the same monetary fine? (Am I correct in assuming that this would NOT be the same as an indictment coming from the DoJ?) Since rubles are all that matter to at least one person in this conspiracy, might such a monetary fine finally break through the myriad impasses to House oversight he’s finagled?


Asking for a friend.

He isn't required to answer questions in any particular way. He only was required to show up
