the subpoenaed lawmakers could face jail time

[butters]

The law says someone who has knowledge of a felony that’s “cognizable by a court of the United States” but doesn’t come forward with information about it could face up to three years in prison.

Kirshner noted that a federal judge in March determined it “more likely than not that President [Donald] Trump corruptly attempted to obstruct the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021.”

That makes potential Jan. 6-related crimes “cognizable by a court” ― and significant now that McCarthy and four other GOP lawmakers linked to Trump have been subpoenaed by the bipartisan House committee investigating the riot to answer questions about their knowledge and involvement.

"More than likely" isn't a legal standard, nor is "I had a dream."

Nah...all they have to do is draw it out until this Fall when the traitors will regain both chambers.

House Republicans, furious that five of their own have been subpoenaed by the January 6 select committee, are discussing their own plans to retaliate if they win back the majority: Issuing subpoenas to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats.

They’re talking themselves into a box. They can’t expect Pelosi to honor a subpoena, unless they honor theirs first.

Only difference is Republicans will get the military to enforce their wishes
