The House committee investigating the January 6th insurrection in the Capitol told former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows that he must appear for his deposition at 10 a.m. on Friday or he will be considered in contempt of Congress.Panel chairman, Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson, wrote to Meadows' attorney on Thursday night to say there is 'no valid legal basis' for Meadow's noncompliance with panel's subpoena. 'Simply put, there is no valid legal basis for Mr. Meadows's continued resistance to the Select Committee's subpoena.

What’s the penalty for contempt of Congress because I freely confess that I am and have been for years? As for my defense, I submit that Congress is clearly a contemptible body and has been in contempt of itself for years.

How can any sentient human being have anything but contempt for this Congress?

Read the column to be found elsewhere at Lucianne.com in which Mollie Hemenway points out that the Select Committee has NO appointees made by the Republican minority in the House. Pelosi excluded Jim Jordan and another Republican appointed by the Republican Party and named Cheney and Kinzinger as "Republicans". The Select Committee may have absolutely NO legal authority to subpoena anyone and may have no authority to hold in contempt those who choose not to testify before the phony committee.

Thank you, #5, for mentioning the obvious when it come to refusing to testify. Remind me, what happened to Holder?
This committee was formed by Nasty Nan for one purpose, to prevent Donald John Trump from running for President in 2024. She said as much. This old witch will do anything to achieve that goal. I hope everyone who gets a subpoena, ignores it. Eric the Red set a precedent, so they should follow his lead.

Being in contempt of Congress didn't hurt AG Eric Holder. I'm still holding my breath about that one.

I think everyone who is subpoenaed should go! Then they should simply take a page from Hillary's Play Book and respond to questions with "I can't remember", "I don't recall" and "I have no memory of that"! Then lets move on!

I think he should go and at every point when asked a question just go to the points of what actually happened and ignore what they are asking. Just use that time to ask why no one from the Proud Boys bunch that was promoted to be the cause of this before J6 has even been questioned. What is Nancy Pelosi's role in this?
Why did the Capitol police just open the door and let people in? How many FBI agents were embedded in the protest? Put this thing right back in their face.

Good one Congress. We saw how you ignored all the contempt charges you laid on Holder and company. So please don't be tinkling on our legs and telling us it is raining.

So appear and don't say a word!!!
Or even better, answer every question with a Bible verse that has nothing to do with what they are asking.
If they want to play unconstitutional games, have some fun with them!!!

I do not see this as a problem. Contempt of Congress?
Look how Eric Holder suffered (not).
Mark Meadows may notice an additional interview or two, but otherwise will note no difference.

Meadow's response should be:
"Contempt of Congress.....Can I get an officlal lapel pin with that on it?"

When Eric Holder shows up for Fast and Furious then we can talk about this.

Go in with a squad of lawyers and a squad of armed bodyguards. Answer nothing! Make them talk to your lawyers. Answer them in writing after lawyer approval. If the committee gets 'out of hand', have your bodyguards escort you out of the room.
