    This is great. We're going to get clips of Trump in front of Congress answering questions, and I guarantee that they will be funny.

        Maybe, but I think this is a situation where both sides might conclude that it's in their best interest to go through with it. Dems get to say that they're holding Trump accountable, Trump gets to say that he's the target of a witch hunt.

          Trump will say that regardless, and honestly I don't think any committed chuds would even be more emboldened by there being slightly more material backing to that idea

        face consequences

        Oh, there will be hell to pay for Trump. The dems will write a sharply critical comment and it will be introduced into the Congressional Record.

        Yeah Trump can probably claim the witch hunt whether or not he shows up (in fact he's been doing it all along). I don't think Congress has the brass tacks to send actual cops to force Tump to come down, but I think it's likely that he won't pass up the opportunity to be on TV in the Important Building.

          Trump being arrested by actual police would be :sicko-pig: funny. Watching all the reactionaries who say the BLM "Riots" were unjustified suddenly flip their shit and riot because a white orange man was arrested peacefully.
