1. What does that mean?

Will he be arrested?

[DanTex]

8. Yes, my question too. Any lawyers in the house?

[BumRushDaShow]

11. It can be considered "Contempt of Congress"

and there are procedures that go along with that declaration and referral to DOJ for further action.

[titaniumsalute]

37. They should pull the plug on his pension and benefits right NOW!

[BumRushDaShow]

40. I think he's toast either way

thus his floating of a plea deal.

[still_one]

12. It means he is in contemp of Congress. The matter is then referred the U.S. Attorney of

Washington DC, who is supposed to refer the matter to a grand jury for action.

Yes, he could be sent to jail

[MGKrebs]

22. Didn't Cheeto fire all the US Attorneys?

Has this one been replaced yet? If not, who gets the case?

[itcfish]

39. Sessions?

n/t

[still_one]

41. I don't think so.

[Ohioblue22]

14. was karlrove when he ignored a subpeona

[WinkyDink]

25. No, because Nancy Pelosi, by her own words, chose not to:

[Ohioblue22]

38. thanks i never saw that

[FigTree]

43. It means that he has information

that is likely to end this mis-presidency in a matter of months. He will not talk. So that the only option is to "stay strong", go to jail and live happily ever after somewhere after that. His leaking of the early heads-up to the WH counsel is a bargaining chip for his sentence.

[wryter2000]

2. Let me be the first

Lock him up

[workinclasszero]

20. Lock HIM up! Lock HIM up! LOCK HIM UP!!!!!!

[Renew Deal]

3. That's because it wasn't sent by the Russians

[Adrahil]

6. We need like buttons for posts.

I like this.

[DUgosh]

27. Yes! We do

Many people are saying this ....

[ATL Ebony]

32. I'm still kinda new and that's the first button I looked for and . . .

still periodically reach for it. Would be very helpful.

[Madam45for2923]

4. Obstruction. IAC it must be something major he is hiding

[Adrahil]

5. Well, well, well.....

Let's see if the GrOPers have the stones to find him in contempt.

This does not look good for Don the Con... not good at all.

[Else You Are Mad]

31. Why do I have a feeling that the GOP...

Will not do damn thing about the contempt of Congress.

[octoberlib]

7. He wants immunity.

[Arkansas Granny]

9. I thought they had already denied that request.

[octoberlib]

13. I don't know if they have or not

but he's gonna make it as difficult as possible without it. They may have the goods on Trump without it.

[Leghorn21]

36. Yes, it was my (shaky!!) understanding that he offered to testify (to whom, I'm not

sure!!?) in return for immunity quite a while back, and was told thanks but no thanks, we already know what you know, asshole -

- anyway, that's all I've heard on the matter -

[ananda]

15. I'm sure, but ..

.. isn't refusal to honor a subpoena arrestable?

[octoberlib]

16. Yes, believe so. He thinks he's gonna be

some kind of martyr.

[BumRushDaShow]

10. Contempt of Congress

and the whole rigamarole that will go along with that.

[mikeysnot]

17. Pulling a rove

nothing happened to him.

Why do I get a feeling nothing is going to happen to these assholes?

[WinkyDink]

26. Ahem. Nancy Pelosi chose not to go after Rove. Her words:

[luvMIdog]

18. I think Trump scared him & he is afraid

This bites

[workinclasszero]

19. Arrest the criminal

Whats the problem?

[Thula1]

28. .

Lock him up!

[Skidmore]

21. Protecting Trump & Pence. nt

[nycbos]

30. He was thrown under the bus.

Why would he WANT to protect them?

[procon]

23. How does it go... something about "if he's got nothing to hide"? nt

[wildeyed]

24. Lock him up.

Sheesh. This week just doesn't quit for news, does it?

[nycbos]

29. Serious question for a lawyer.

His lawyer said he would "take the 5th" if asked to testify.

Wouldn't be better for him personally to go before the committee and say "on the advice on my attorney I plead the 5th amendment."


This looks bad for him.


But seriously

LOCK HIM UP

[madaboutharry]

33. Flynn is as corrupt as they come.

This clip is just pathetic in light of what we now know.

Flynn is a jerk. How did this asshole ever become a general?

[Phoenix61]

34. As a retired officer he is subject to the UCMJ

Would't a subpoena be considered a lawful order especially since it is coming from Congress? Oh the irony of he ended up court martialed over it.

[underpants]

35. Hmm and Air Force 1 is headed overseas tomorrow

[MGKrebs]

42. Now they are backing off of that...

(CNN)Retired Gen. Michael Flynn has not yet told the Senate intelligence committee how he plans to respond to a subpoena for documents relevant to the former national security adviser's interactions with Russia, committee chairman Richard Burr said, reversing his earlier comment that Flynn would not cooperate.

Earlier:
"Gen. Flynn's lawyers said he would not honor the subpoena, and that's not a surprise to the committee, but we'll figure out on Gen. Flynn what the next step, if any, is," Burr, a North Carolina Republican, said at the time. "

I wonder what happened in between those two statements.
