Democrats Could Escalate Their Fight Against Trump's Stonewalling

good article to read, especially about Pelosi can pass a new rule and have trials and fines on trump admin employees.....

All the House would have to do is approve a new rule that would set up a select committee and allow for a trial on the House floor if a witness defies a subpoena. If the House votes guilty, Morton believes uncooperative witnesses should be socked with fines of $25,000 per day for ten days, and then Congress should appoint a special prosecutor if the witness is still uncooperative.
