The House Can Play Hardball, Too. It Can Arrest Giuliani.

October 10, 2019.

Two ways that Democrats in the House can match the White House’s aggressive tactics:

Send a big posse of federal agents, if Donald Trump and his criminal lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani, do not want to comply with the U.S. House issued subpoenas.

In his letter to House leadership, the White House counsel, Pat Cipollone, drew a line in the sand: The administration will not “participate in” the impeachment proceedings in any way. The odd language of “participate in” — presidential impeachment is not meant to be a collaboration between Congress and the president — obscures the central thrust of the letter: The White House is refusing to respond to any subpoenas or other demands for information from the U.S. House.

As soon as Trump and Giuliani see that they are going to placed behind bars, they will start 'cooperating.'

Nixon saw that he was going to be placed behind bars. He resigned. 

Stop being nice to Trump and Giuliani. You can't be nice to criminals like them.
