The Democrats need to kick ass as hard as possible!!! Time to fine these assholes and RKP5637 May 2019 #1

Won't happen. nt Hotler May 2019 #49

"SHALL"......he be arrested? dameatball May 2019 #2

One of us would be fined $25k/day. Chelsea Manning sits in jail yet again. RKP5637 May 2019 #4

Unfortunately, Mnuchin probably has $25,000 in loose change in his couch cushions. dameatball May 2019 #23

Yep, so true! n/t RKP5637 May 2019 #25

It's 25k a day. I would think anyone would begin to choke on that Thekaspervote May 2019 #28

Yes, I agree and I was just tongue in cheek. These guys hate nothing more than losing a nickel. dameatball May 2019 #33

Well, he should 'shall'. n/t sprinkleeninow May 2019 #55

So he's been arrested by now right? Chin music May 2019 #3

DOJ is controlled by Putin, he aint gonna get arrested, we are under attack from Russia Eliot Rosewater May 2019 #10

But, the Sergeant of Arms guy? Chin music May 2019 #13

Throw his ass in jail NOW! Sick of this stuff. n/t monmouth4 May 2019 #5

K&R !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t RKP5637 May 2019 #6

Lock him up! malaise May 2019 #7

Why don't they just give us the finger and get it over with already? Initech May 2019 #8

Democrats always look so damn weak and meek IMO. n/t RKP5637 May 2019 #9

What can they do? DOJ will NOT arrest him and they would have to use sgt of arms at which point Eliot Rosewater May 2019 #12

Well, they could go before any camera that would give them time and tell the people what's going on. spanone May 2019 #18

Exactly! Democratic messaging often sucks IMO. Time to start kicking ass!!! n/t RKP5637 May 2019 #22

Maybe it's time to do something outrageous and burst the bubble! n/t RKP5637 May 2019 #20

So get the SOA to do his job ProudLib72 May 2019 #31

Why? The law StarfishSaver May 2019 #41

If we followed the letter of the law, he would be in jail ProudLib72 May 2019 #43

What law would, if followed, would result in Mnuchin being in jail today. EffieBlack May 2019 #44

Inherent contempt ProudLib72 May 2019 #45

Nope EffieBlack May 2019 #47

I'm saying "Start the damned process" ProudLib72 May 2019 #54

How do you know they haven't "started the process"? StarfishSaver May 2019 #58

It is by far the quickest way triron May 2019 #56

But the contempt citation first has to be issued. That can only happen with a vote by the full House StarfishSaver May 2019 #60

What do you suggest they do? StarfishSaver May 2019 #40

Impeachment, start the $25k fines, jail if needed. Look at what they're doing to Chelsea Manning, RKP5637 May 2019 #42

Manning is in the criminal justice system, not before Congress. Two totally different situations StarfishSaver May 2019 #57

This adds clarification - take it to the courts appears to be the potential strategy? RKP5637 May 2019 #61

Yes StarfishSaver May 2019 #62

Agree, and very well said!!! Thanks for your replies, etc. It seems an excellent strategy! RKP5637 May 2019 #63

Definitely! StarfishSaver May 2019 #64

If not now, when? Chin music May 2019 #19

Three options: 1). Arrest him 2). Fine him 3). Let him get away with it Miles Archer May 2019 #15

Fines mean nothing to uber wealthy. Chin music May 2019 #21

Rich guys like Mnuchin never want to spend their own DeminPennswoods May 2019 #29

I'm not so confident. Chin music May 2019 #30
