House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., indicated that he and his colleagues could impose hefty fines on people like Attorney General William Barr if they refused to comply with congressional subpoenas.

"We would level fines on those who are not cooperating until they are compelled to produce what they are asked to produce," he stated during an event on Friday.

It's time to drop the bomb.

As another Freeper inquired: would these be bills of attainder?

[djpg]

The Democrats are attacking full force, and the Republicans are doing nothing.

[2banana]

Will he send the house sergeant at arms to collect?

[ifinnegan]

Hah.

Good luck.

[JonPreston]

It’s time to pay these *ricks in lead.

[proust]

What bomb?

“Democrats looking at imposing daily contempt fines on Trump officials, Rep. Adam Schiff says"

"Much as I like the visual of [throwing people in jail], I think it's far more practical to consider levying individual fines on the person — not the office — until they comply,” Schiff, a frequent target of personal attacks by President Donald Trump, told Axios' Mike Allen at a Friday morning newsmaker event.

“You could fine someone $25,000 a day until they comply. You can do that. We're looking through the history and studying the law to make sure we're on solid ground."

Is this for the tax returns?

Time for a counter suit for him to produce his.

Also would like to see the names of all those in Congress who got part of the $17 million sexual harassment payments.

I don't know.

Maybe Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz knows a couple brothers who could collect.

Bttt

The real story of Seth Rich?

[KittyKares]

Their assaults on the Trump administration are relentless. Can’t they just stop and enjoy the Mother’s Day weekend? Sheesh.

[a little elbow grease]

That’s great!

As was stated so beautifully in Dr. Strangelove: "we got some kind of PREVERT MUTINY goin' on here" Drop the 💣

Watching some blowhards on msnbc this morning. They all seemed to agree that any normal citizen would be arrested if they ignored a subpoena. TDS runs large in that crowd.

[rbg81]

Open a criminal leak investigation against Schiff.

[Gay State Conservative]

Schitt doesn't realize that by the time the fines have made their way through the courts everybody will be dead.

[goodnesswins]

Haha.

That’s good!
