(56,848 posts)at 9am this morning, Rudy Giuliani did not show up as scheduled. We then sent the House Sergeant at Arms and staff to retrieve Mr. Giuliani from his residence and escorted him to an undisclosed location for confinement at approximately 10:15am. Mr. Giuliani will be allowed contact with his attorney, but will be fined $100,000 per day until he decides to comply with the lawfully issued subpoena

(4,756 posts)No more "high road". We are dealing with a lawless regime (Trump/Barr/McConnell/Pompeo) bent on tyranny and maintaining power, who do NOT play by the rules, do NOT give a shit about the Constitution, etc. So far they are refusing/ignoring Congressional suboenas with absolutely no consequences. It's time for daily fines, inherent contempt, whatever it takes.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
