Nadler: "Tomorrow we will be issuing doc requests to over 60 different people & individuals from WH"

House Judiciary chair Jerry Nadler: "Tomorrow we will be issuing document requests to over 60 different people and individuals from the White House, to the Department of Justice, Donald Trump Jr. ... to begin investigations."
Via ABC



VIDEO:









Rep. Jerrold Nadler, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said that his committee will be issuing document requests on Monday to dozens of individuals.

“Tomorrow, we will be issuing document requests to over 60 different people and individuals from the White House to the Department of Justice, Donald Trump, Jr., Allen Weisselberg, to begin the investigations to present the case to the American people about obstruction of justice, corruption and abuse of power,” Nadler said on “This Week” Sunday.

I'm guessing:


https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/2/192

Every person who having been summoned as a witness by the authority of either House of Congress to give testimony or to produce papers upon any matter under inquiry before either House, or any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or any committee of either House of Congress, willfully makes default, or who, having appeared, refuses to answer any question pertinent to the question under inquiry, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000 nor less than $100 and imprisonment in a common jail for not less than one month nor more than twelve months.

... but I'll be honest with you, I believe that they'll still find ways to not comply. I believe they'll challenge it, resist it, and try to tie things up in court for the next two years. (Legal fees paid for by conservative orgs or GFM donations.)

I weep for our nation. It's broken.

But let's publicize their lack of cooperation. Let's keep them tied up in court and do everything we can to hamstring them. Two can play those games.

Do it, but don't name it impeachment at this moment.

Build the case, gather the evidence.

Have it ready.

Let the people see these crooks and liars on the stand, in real time.
