The House Intelligence Cmte sent a letter to General Flynn late Friday accusing him of failing to comply with the cmte's subpoenas and Chair Adam Schiff writes that he "now commands" Flynn to appear for a hearing on Sept. 25th at 9:30am + also provide documents by Sept. 18th

If Flynn fails to cooperate with the subpoena (which was sent in June), Schiff writes: “the Committee will have no choice but to consider appropriate measures to enforce the subpoena.”

6. Ditto

Lock him up! Send in the Marshal

2. "appropriate measures to enforce the subpoena"

i.e. asking the DoJ, which will say "no".

3. I see no alternative but to try the only thing available, revive the long dormant inherent contempt

power. Everything about this time is uncharted. So too must be their response, IMO.

7. wish I could explain the delay, delay, delay

Flynn should have been in front of the Committee the day after the recess ended.

5. What Michael Flynn said in Cleveland at the RNC in 2016....

"Had I done one-tenth of what Hillary Clinton has done, I would be in jail(prison)." To which the crowd chants, "Lock her up!" In response, Flynn can be heard saying "Yeah! Lock her up."

Well, Mikey!

Flynn did 100 times more than what Hillary Clinton has done and then some. His sorry ass will be going to jail whether or not he cooperates. He will be put in a cell with a man who will make him watch his every move. This is what he deserves for lying to the FBI, being an agent for a foreign country he did not declare, perhaps a Russian asset, etc.

9. Put him in the slammer

No more chances

13. Wasn't the last court go round with Flynn one where Flynn said he wasn't ready for sentencing

but the prosecutors said they were ready? How can Flynn's ignoring this subpoena be used as part of his sentencing in the other case? Is this a maneuver by Schiff to coerce the testimony and documents from Flynn or to show the court in the other case that Flynn is not "sorry" has no respect for the rule of law and that he'd be a potential flight risk if not jailed?
