Adam Schiff Warns Steve Bannon And Mark Meadows They’ll Face Criminal Charges If They Don’t Testify


1/6 Committee member, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) warned four subpoenaed Trump associates that if they don’t testify, they will be subject to criminal contempt charges.

Rep. Schiff tweeted:

Rep. Schiff was talking about the subpoenas that were issued for Mark Meadows, Steve Bannon, Kashyap Patel, and Dan Scavino.

1/6 Committee has made it clear. They aren’t messing around. Schiff’s statement echoes that of fellow 1/6 Committee member Jamie Raskin who warned Trump and all of his associates that the Committee will pursue criminal contempt charges against anyone who does comply with a subpoena. Raskin said that subpoenas are not optional and warned of serious consequences for those who attempt to ignore them.

It is a different world now for Trump and his associates. They have no political power, and for those who were subpoenaed, Trump has offered them no help or assistance.

Trump can’t ignore this investigation, and he no longer has the platform to delegitimize it.

The 1/6 Committee is coming for Trump and his pals, and if they refuse to comply, they may find themselves behind bars.

1. This

Lock them up!

[msongs]

2. put a $10K bounty on them if they don't show up nt

[spooky3]

4. good idea - but did you see that a federal district judge has blocked enforcement of TX SB 8?

[msongs]

6. saw tht so therer's lots of bounties available lol nt

[Thomas Hurt]

3. I don't think they care Congressman Schiff. Your threats may turn out to be the result...

but right now it is just words and news story to them. They can not be brought before the committee fast enough.

[PortTack]

7. They will care after they sit in a jail cell..which I believe congressman Schiff is saying

That there are consequences

[Thomas Hurt]

9. He is saying, you are saying, I am saying they don't care what he says or you or I say...

they won't until they are dragged bodily in front of the committee. Even then, I expect them to say nothing or lie.

These people are cultists, and ideological fanatics. They have to be put under oath and questioned and caught in their lies on national tv. Scavino is in hiding. They will sue and appeal. Wouldn't surprise me if the lot of them ran to eastern Europe.

[Sneederbunk]

5. If they show up they will take the 5th. Game over.

[spooky3]

8. Then why not just go ahead and show up and take the 5th? nt

[Thomas Hurt]

10. Got to play martyr and scam the cultists for money

[Dave says]

12. Their strategy is to run out the clock

They fully expect to win the House and Senate next year.

[PortTack]

30. They may well indeed win the house. The senate..no in fact we are on track to gain 1-2 seats

[JohnSJ]

11. I will believe it when I see it

[Claustrum]

13. The operative word is "can be" not "will be".

So I will have to wait and see if they "will" actually go with the criminal charges.

[Justice matters.]

15. I'll go further and wait until they "will" catch them before they fly away to hide

in undisclosed locations (planet Earth is a big place and has a lot of holes where to hide).

[BeerBarrelPolka]

26. Exactly!

It's more word salad.

[Marcuse]

14. This calls for rendition by the US Marshalls.

[Bluethroughu]

16. Lock them up, lock them up, lock them up!

[Takket]

17. Is there a deadline they have to appear before Congress before?

[monkeyman1]

18. tomorrow!!!

[Justice matters.]

22. Documents, including emails and social media posts, et al, tomorrow.

In-person testimony in close sessions next Thursday and Friday.

[czarjak]

19. Texas representative Jodey Arrington is in DEEP! Ask him.

[lastlib]

20. And no Pumpkin-Daddy to pardon or protect them.....

'Twould be so delicious to see them in prison orange.

[orleans]

23. which makes me wonder if that pumpkin head will be getting

his own subpoena

[Ford_Prefect]

21. They aren't hiding as much as they are defying the Congress they tried to lynch.

They are grand-standing for TLG and his fans. Bannon is winding the "troops" up to strike at his command.

[Botany]

24. The 1/6 Committee is coming for Trump and his pals, and if they refuse to comply ... behind bars.

25. OK..

I like Rep. Schiff - very much - but maybe he should say 'If they refuse to comply, they WILL be subject to criminal contempt." None of this 'they can be' shit.

[Totally Tunsie]

38. Exactly!

[kentuck]

27. It will have to be proven to them.

They are still living in the times of Bill Barr and Donald Trump.

Somebody will have to go to jail before they see that subpoenas from the Congress of the United States cannot be ignored.

There's a lesson too late for the learning.

[malthaussen]

28. A "warning" is more courtesy than they deserve.

Send in the appropriate Federal agents and arrest those scofflaws.

-- Mal

[Hotler]

29. Stop warning them, just do it. nt

[kentuck]

31. When one person is arrested or charged with criminal contempt, you may see more adherence?

to the subpoenas?

The DOJ has to show they mean business.

[ananda]

32. Was that a sternly worded warning.

Put teeth in it.

Arrest the bastards!

[MissMillie]

34. Bannon boy won't get pardoned for that one! (n/t)

.

[Mr.Bill]

35. I can see Trump running in 2024 (I don't think he will even get the nomination)

and campaigning on pardoning all of these people and all of the January 6th insurrectionists.

[TeamProg]

36. Wow Jason Easley, this is some very crappy writing! Who the F** edited your piece?

They suck, too.

What is wrong with this statement??

"""Schiff’s statement echoes that of fellow 1/6 Committee member Jamie Raskin who warned Trump and all of his associates that the Committee will pursue criminal contempt charges against anyone who does comply with a subpoena."""

The incompetence in this country is staggering.

[Ohioboy]

37. This is encouraging!

[zentrum]

39. Hope they supply Adam

.....and his family with lots of security.

Bannon is a madman.

[blueinredohio]

40. Ill believe it when I see it.

[AllaN01Bear]

41. yessss. what are they hiding ? the truth.

go get em seargent at arms.

truth , you cant handle the truth. a few good men.

[lame54]

42. I will believe it with the first arrest

[scarytomcat]

43. also being asked for phone records and documents
