January 6 investigators are talking about criminal contempt charges for ignored subpoenas.

Here's what that means.

Members of the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol have made clear they're willing to move forward with criminal contempt referrals against any witness that refuses to comply with its subpoenas.

But what does that mean?

Criminal contempt is one of the three options the congressional panel can pursue to enforce its subpoenas, along with civil and inherent contempt.

Steve Bannon could be the first to test the panel's willingness to purse such a referral. The committee is scheduled to meet Tuesday and vote on whether the Trump ally should be referred to the Justice Department for criminal contempt charges after refusing to comply with a subpoena deadline last week.

1. DO NOT SCREW AROUND WITH HALF-MEASURES

Charge 'em, jail 'em, hold them until they testify.

Even if they take the fifth in front of Congress, it would be worth it to see the smell of corruption and sedition. Enough evidence will be available from TFG defectors to prosecute.

5. Inherent Contempt is called for

Otherwise, this will be tied up in the courts for ages.
