Its not ridiculous per se.The fact that they have allowed this to go on this long without punishing these crooks is beyond ridiculous...
If you can't lock them up, fine them for every day they choose to ignore the subpoena...
They have options to punish these clowns...
I can see why they don't want to go to those type of extremes. I can't imagine what could happen if the Republicans came back in power and used this as a basis for a sham investigation.
However, I don't know what other options they have.
