by dragging Bannon, Scavino, Patel and Meadows to jail if they don't comply, then on top of everything, we will have lost Congressional oversight
I still have hope that the Select Committee will do criminal referrals, but I don't know where Merrick Garland will be hiding...
Sorry to be so negative, but I cannot believe that with revelation after revelation, and refusal after refusal to follow the law, no one has been held accountable so far...

How about 12 Days?
12 Weeks?

It doesn't matter, because NOTHING will happen. I'll give them all the time in the world, and then if something happens, I'll admit I was Completely Wrong. I just doubt that I will be.

(11,012 posts)There will be a vocal contingent screaming that it isn't enough, not fast enough, not punishment enough.
Because they don't really want justice, they want vengeance and don't care what procedures are skipped just so long as they get the result they want.

(62,530 posts)if they don't enforce the subpoenas, the very basis of our democracy comes into question.
if people feel they can ignore the rules without consequence, then what is next?
we are at a very terrifying point in our history.

So, there are another two or three weeks of discovery with these subpoenas.
