The fact is they went when i was in turkey back in february, we saw essentially Mid Rise Buildings Shoddily built, and indeed, they were reinforced concrete. They were multiple stories. A lot of those

these cases. and what? the worst-case mario might be that you get a knock at your door from the sergeant at arms, maybe a slap on the wrist? best-case an aerial, politically, you get a badge of honor that you stuck it to the man. they were really more afraid of ignoring a doj criminal subpoena then a congressional one and they took their chances time and time again that the doj wouldn t prosecute you for laughing at a congressional subpoena. you know what else? in the past, that very thought process paid off. but now, this conviction, well this series of convictions, now puts the light back in the dog because when you are facing some jail time suddenly people start to take your requests more seriously. now, people like congressman jimmy jordan of ohio who, incels, you will recall was roundly criticized for, shall we say, not prioritizing congressional subpoenas aimed at him. now he is in leadership. so the big question is what we see the flood gates began to open and subpoena
