wouldn’t feel the pain of any fine.

But his Treasury Dept. will feel it if Congress decides to withhold its budget. Congress can also target Rettig for inherent contempt and pressure Mnuchin to cave. Or they can appeal to the Judiciary to order both to comply. If they don’t then they can be cited for contempt by both branches. I would like that.
