Adam Schiff Warns Steve Bannon And Mark Meadows Theyll Face Criminal Charges If They Dont Testify
1/6 Committee member, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) warned four subpoenaed Trump associates that if they dont 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 arent messing around. Schiffs 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 cant 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.

(13,903 posts)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.

(70,636 posts)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.

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.

What is wrong with this statement??
"""Schiffs 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.
