1. The House Democrats won't participate in the Committee's investigation.
2. The White House and State Department won't cooperate with the Committee's efforts and will refuse to respond to their subpoenas.

So, how should Gowdy and the Republican House respond to the situation...???
By sending the Sgt at arms out to round up and jail non compliers as is the lay/constitutional authority.
ALL OF THEM.
Are there not penalties for obstruction of justice and interfering with legal procedures ?
Throw the book at them. If you don’t want to be part of the solution get the he77 out of the way!
