Here’s what could happen to Giuliani and others who defy congressional subpoenas

Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, earlier this week defied lawmakers’ subpoena for documents related to their impeachment inquiry and said, “If they enforce it, then we will see what happens.”That’s if the former New York mayor were convicted of contempt of Congress, a rare move that involves referring a citation to the executive branch. But it’s highly unlikely that the Trump administration would prosecute the president’s own lawyer.

As the House impeachment inquiry proceeds, another option to enforce subpoenas is seeking a civil judgment from a federal court, as a Congressional Research Service paper explains. In addition to Giuliani, the White House Office of Management and Budget and the Pentagon have refused to comply with Democrats’ subpoenas.

The Trump administration is objecting to the House’s lack of a formal vote to begin the impeachment probe into the president. It calls the probe “illegitimate.”Giuliani’s protests, meanwhile, don’t hold water, according to Michael Gerhardt, a law-school professor at the University of North Carolina.Robert Schroeder Robert Schroeder is the White House reporter for MarketWatch.

John Harwood is a hack. Someone told me he assaulted a family member who said they voted for President Trump while drunk and yelling at the tv

MarketWatch Bullshit propaganda.

Definitely not; as we know nothing happened to his former lawyer -Cohen was his name?-LOL

Can you imagine, if he prosecute he's own lawyer, that would be some shit!

He may face worse.

What’s the statute of limitations? Next pres may be able to prosecute

Never happen. No don’t ne n jail just Dem jokes

Didn BarackObama ignore many subpoenas 🤔🤔🤔

If Pelosi wants to have a real impeachment inquiry she should call for a vote to move it forward. What the Dems are currently doing has nothing to do with impeachment. It has to do with the Dem's problems which are Crazy Bernie Mad Joe and Bobble-Head Warren and the AOC agenda

Looks like Rudy's gonna to grace the Big House, no matter.

What is this have to do with Market Watch ? Forget the fact how someone can issue subpoenas. You might want to change name to DemocratsAssKisser

MARKET WATCH MORE LIKE BROKEN WATCH!!! WHO CARES!!!!!! BIDENS KID WAS WITH 10X MORE PEOPLE THAN THAT AND HE MADE 10X THE MONEY!!! THIS IS A JOKE-R . NOTHING BURGERS AGAIN!!! GET TO WORK
