House Dems seek to make officials feel the pain
House Democrats are looking for ways to make Attorney General William Barr and other administration figures feel the pain if they refuse their terms for testifying to Congress.
Some Democrats have gone as far as suggesting that Barr and others could be fined or jailed. Such outcomes seem unlikely but underscore Democratic efforts to raise the stakes amid frustration with the administration’s perceived stonewalling.
“We will have to use whatever means we can to enforce the subpoena,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) told CNN on Sunday. The chairman added that the attorney general will not “dictate the format” of questioning by his panel while threatening to subpoena him.
Barr has said he would testify but has not agreed to sit for a closed-door interview on special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, according to one Judiciary aide. He also has not agreed to be questioned by committee counsels in addition to the panel’s members.

Why? Fine, AND jail them! These people are thumbing their collective noses at you, and making you look weak.
Get a spine!
