Rep. Dan Kildee (D-MI) said Monday that the House Ways and Means committee would do everything in its power to enforce its subpoena of Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin — even potentially holding him in contempt.
“The court has to decide whether to enforce the subpoena,” Kildee said on CNN’s “New Day.” “If they continue to deny what is a clear authority under the statute and under the Constitution we have to take everything, every step possible to enforce this order,” he added in response to a question about if contempt is on the table.
The subpoena is part of Democrats’ attempt to get their hands on President Donald Trump’s elusive tax returns.

The House Judiciary Committee voted to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt last week for his refusal to turn over an unredacted version of the Mueller report to Congress.
Don’t say you “may.” Say you “will.” Then do it. Quit pussyfooting around. Enough is enough.
Perp walk the SOB.
And his gold-digger wife, just for emphasis…
I am not sure what is holding the committee back. When someone clearly demonstrates their contempt of Congress it is a no brainer to officially grant their wish and hold them in Contempt of Congress

It’s time to start locking some people up. Let’s retake the power of the people’s house. I want to live in America again. I am done with this banana republic bizarro world Trump kingdom the GOP has built.
Why these qualifiers like “may”? Just! effing! do it!!! Can we please grow a pair? Is that too much to ask? This high road BS drives me nuts. Absolutely infuriates me.
