I also have that same question. I don't know what the real consequences of not complying are or what the process is beyond holding them in contempt. I do know that all of these actions sure make it seem like someone is not innocent. Contempt of Congress is a criminal offense. So there COULD allegedly be jail time if they choose not to comply. Well then LOCK HIM UP already.

RAGE RAGE RAGE. "Steve Moore's chances of making it onto the Federal Reserve Board aren't looking so hot right now -- amid a previously unreported tax lien and a series of controversial writings about women and sports. "I was so honored when I got the call from Donald Trump. But all it's been since then has been one personal assault after another and a kind of character assassination having nothing to do with economics. ... They're pulling a Kavanaugh against me," Moore said. "I'm taking a 60% pay cut to do this job. So, you know, I mean, it's true public service." Moore knows exactly what he's doing here. He knows that for conservatives, Kavanaugh's name creates an image of a rabid pack of Democrats -- and the media -- pushing all sorts of negative information into the public in hopes of keeping someone who doesn't share their belief system from serving in public life. They're doing it again! Moore is (trying) to say. Don't let them! amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/04/24/politics/steve-moore-donald-trump-brett-kavanaugh/index.html

Hillary has written an OP-Ed about the Mueller Report. 👀 . "The debate about how to respond to Russia’s “sweeping and systematic” attack — and how to hold President Trump accountable for obstructing the investigation and possibly breaking the law — has been reduced to a false choice: immediate impeachment or nothing. History suggests there’s a better way to think about the choices ahead. Second, Congress should hold substantive hearings that build on the Mueller report and fill in its gaps, not jump straight to an up-or-down vote on impeachment. Watergate offers a better precedent. Then, as now, there was an investigation that found evidence of corruption and a coverup. It was complemented by public hearings conducted by a Senate select committee, which insisted that executive privilege could not be used to shield criminal conduct and compelled White House aides to testify. The televised hearings added to the factual record and, crucially, helped the public understand the facts in a way that no dense legal report could. Similar hearings with Mueller, former White House counsel Donald McGahn and other key witnesses could do the same today." www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/opinions/hillary-clinton-mueller-documented-a-serious-crime-against-all-americans-heres-how-to-respond/2019/04/24/1e8f7e16-66b7-11e9-82ba-fcfeff232e8f_story.html

I'm very happy that the House is preventing the GOP from enacting their bullshit legislative agenda but as someone for whom a big part of this board was following Congress (as much as the shitshow that is the WH), it's just...different. I can't even remember the last time I thought about the Senate doing something. Now it's all just scheduling House hearings and arguing across the aisle about who said what. Can you clarify what you mean? Sorry I'm just not following

However I would still like to see a briefing for the grownups more than once a quarter

I don't have an issue with inviting the kids in for a mock briefing; I do take issue with them doing this when regular briefings (or any, really) seem to be a thing that's no longer happening.

I don't disagree. But at this point Sarah is a proven and admitted liar. So my thinking is that it's better she have fewer opportunities to run her mouth and spin lies like some kind of arkansian rumplestiltskin. We're never going to get real press briefings from this WH. Our best chance at any information is pool sprays.

I know this isn’t political, but kind of current events. Last night my college alma mater and town were hit hard by a tornado. My sister’s boyfriend’s house, his car, and her sorority house were all destroyed. The college has extensive damage and destruction and many people in the town lost their homes. If you could spare some good thoughts or prayers, it is greatly appreciated. I’m heartbroken. ☹️
