On Tiffany Cross's MSNBC show on Saturday,when Cross asked Mystal what should be done to force Republican congressmen to comply with subpoenas issued by the January 6th committee, he responded:
"I've always been a fan of Nancy Pelosi's basement, or vanity parlor, or whatever she has there in Congress, because Congress has an inherent contempt power. They, on their own authority, can issue legal subpoenas and force people to comply with subpoenas, and arrest people who don't comply with legally-issued subpoenas from Congress."
As to just how physical things could get, Mystal suggested that the sergeant-at-arms would be entitled to "fight" with the congressmen, and Mystal imagined the sergeant-at-arms "physically absconding" with the Republicans. Mystal acknowledged that the Democrats might be afraid to do so, but he insisted, "this is their power that they have, that they can execute under their own authority."

Imagine the reaction in the liberal media if a conservative suggested that the sergeant-at-arms should “fight” Democrat congressmen and “abscond” them to the basement!

Especially when the Republicans take back power in January 21, 2023. An Inquisition (with subpoena power) is coming but not one the Rats are going to like. Karma is a bitch!

The verb "to abscond [with]" is intransitive, i.e., it can't have a direct object.
One can abscond with someone or something, but one cannot "abscond a person."

My understanding of this committee is it isn’t a real committee as the Republicans were not allowed to appoint anyone to the committee

This worked so well for Charles I (4 January 1642) that he lost his head!

Yet another reason my tagline is what it is, as if I needed another reason over and above all the reasons I currently have.
Get prepared, folks. It is your fault if you are not ready in the event of a SHTF scenario. Get over your normalcy bias and start prepping.
