Throw his sorry ass in jail. I couldn't get away with just 'not sitting' before GJ - neither should he. Throw him in jail if he doesn't comply.

It would be interesting to see how he explains the "Green Bay Swipe" to the Grand Jury.

This grand jury investigation is a political witch hunt. It's in the constitution, look it up.

It says the vice-president can over rule the electoral vote count. Pence failed to do his duty so we tried to force him to do his duty. It's all legal I tell ya.

Otherwise it sounds like a fan saying, "I told you we are a Championship team," during the 1st round of playoffs.

I'll believe they'll be held accountable when it happens. Not when someone gets a subpoena.

…can I assume you believe that President Biden won’t deal with college debt because he hasn’t done it so far?

Or does armchair prognostication only apply to criminal justice?

I could give another comparison to refute your College Debt question. We've heard about Gun Control measures going back to Columbine, yet things have gotten worse, not better. There's nobody disputing the fact it's actually gone in the opposite direction, with fewer restrictions rather than more.

It's to the point that people are now Expecting that Nothing will change on that issue, regardless of how many want it to. It's the new normal.

So knowing what I know about this country, and how it treats the special people who are often above the law, I'll wait to see if there's ANY accountability.

And I'm sure others who agree with me would say, that we'll be in line to Celebrate if there are consequences. Just like we will be if the tide were to turn in terms of gun control. For now though, IMO, aside from some subpoenas, several of which have been ignored, crickets.

As to defying subpoenas, it depends on who issues it, why, and whether it can later be tacked onto an indictment as a count of obstruction.

Due process IS a consequence. Due process leads leaders to resign. Due process leads to criminal indctments, and court rulings in our favor. Due process leads to justice, which also IS a consequence.

So there's all that talk.

He may "attend" but he'll just refuse to answer because "his" president has to approve it first. Disagreement ensues, litigation begins which will be resolved in 20 or 30 years. Then they can arrest his exhumed body.

It’s still hard to believe that someone so brazen and corrupt had a key role in the federal government. I know Trump only hired the corrupt, but how on earth did he find so many!

this is according to proven liar Navarro. When he is seen going to the courthouse then I will believe that DOJ has subpoenaed him.

Pics or it never happened.
