#1 Curious, What are the possible penalties for ignoring a congressional subpoena?

#2 I think Lisa needs to get up close and personal with a real penitentiary.

Of course she should have lots of her friends with her.

#3 And the dance goes on...

Call me when the Federal Marshals excort Ms Page to the hearing.

#4 Now congress has to hold her in contempt and send the marshals after her.

I bet on the first part happening and the second part happening about the same time the sun turns into a red giant.

So far as I can tell, there isn't any. It's all kabuki theater for us rubes.

#6 "Defy? Why, I never!" cried her.
"A lidy would surely demur,
As might her attorney,
For dining... a journey...
Or just for diversion, you cur...
Er... sir."

#8 Consequences.

The author says that not providing documents or failure to testify could eventually lead to a contempt charge which could go before a grand jury. This is probably Kabuki theater since in recent history there have been no consequences. Shucks, I was hoping for a rope or at least tar and feathers.

#9 Fact is, Strozk and Page and others being outed in this escapade will never work in gummint again (Strozk has not been cashiers yet, I know) and unlike the usual DC revolving door, these people are not going to have any juice in private practice.

The idea of them in jail (where they deserve to be) is nice, but personally ruined will be bad enough.

#11 Can a normal civilians can just defy a subpoena, congressional or not? Arrest her, use the power Congress has and restore the freaking balance of power to the way it was intended you fools.

#13 Yes, any notion that the law may apply equally to all is so very dangerous, can't go there...

#14 Always a favorite of mine:

"In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread."
