Tlaib says Dems have had “Serious Discussions” About Detaining WH Officials Who Don’t Testify

During an interview with Deadline Detroit, Rashida Tlaib didn’t back down from her earlier claims that Democrats should consider detaining allies of Trump who refuse to comply with congressional subpoenas to testify.

“There have been actual serious conversations about what the logistics would look like … if we did have to force someone through a court order to come before the Congressional committee,” she said.

Tlaib was clearly giddy when bringing up the subject of “what happens if they don’t comply” to an audience earlier.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib

 (D-Mich.) revealed in a new interview that House Democrats have discussed jailing allies of the president who do not comply with congressional subpoenas, an escalation of the House’s efforts to force White House compliance with an impeachment inquiry.

“There have been actual serious conversations about what the logistics would look like … if we did have to force someone through a court order to come before the Congressional committee,” she said. “This is pretty uncharted territory for many of us and even for Congress.”

Tlaib’s comments echoed those of Rep. John Garamendi (D-Calif.), who called for the House to do as much in a CNN interview earlier this week.

“I think it’s time to call in the sergeant-at-arms and march them off to our little jail, which we do happen to have,” Garamendi said on Wednesday.

“Let them sit there and cool off for a while,” he added.
