Seriously, next time Mnuchin sits there with his sneering, poop-eating grin refusing to follow the law, I'd surprise him with the House Sargent At Arms.
Slap him in cuffs on live TV and throw him in a House broom closet.
Donnie Shit for Brains criminal enterprise is not going to change. It's way past time to demonstrate that the House is NOT going to continue playing their silly games.
60% of America will cheer from the rafters to see some of these smug criminals held to account.
For those who think this is too extreme and will anger the Retrumplicans, I ask; "what the heck do you think they'll do... give a presidential medal of freedom to a racist, drug-addled, pedophilic purveyor of hate on the floor of the House?"
In baseball terms, it's way past time for some "chin music"

Don't put that beyond them, it isn't.
Besides, the power has never been tested. Scotus has mentioned it in the long ago past, but nobody has ever tried to exercise it. In all likelihood they would be out within an hour and it would drag on for years in the courts, achieving nothing.
And then trump would use it as an excuse to order all exec branch employees to stop providing any information to congress or appear in any capacity. There is still a lot of information sharing below the surface. That would stop.
In short, while it would feel good in the moment, it wouldn't achieve anything and cost a lot.

Then we separate them from their families for a few years in some hellhole prison. Roaches have protein too.
