2. That is truly a great job done. Tragically, now it goes to the DOJ and their

Department of Forgotten Crimes and Absent Consequences.

Or, an even worse possibility, the Department of Undotted I's and Uncrossed T's.

7. And now what?

What are the consequences?

[Chainfire]

8. This is what I found

The criminal offense of contempt of Congress sets the penalty at not less than one month nor more than twelve months in jail and a fine of not more than $100,000 or less than $100.

Lets see if anyone really goes to jail.

9. Referred to DOJ for prosecution. Possible sentence 1 yr and/or $100,000 fine nt

11. Fine and good as far as this goes, but there doesn't seem to be accountability...

or consequences. Until that happens this only an exercise in having the boundaries of executive privilege adjudicated and not much else.

Real shitshow begins if the christofascists win the House this fall, then this whole effort for some accountability is going to fall apart.
