Ok I might have missed something

With all the push for Impeachment.......Inquiries etc....and all the controversy surrounding said move, what happened to the other option available? What is wrong with pursuing INHERENT CONTEMPT findings against the officials who refuse to comply with lawful CONGRESSIONAL subpoenas. The U S constitution TASKS congress with oversight responsibilities. Not as difficult as it sounds...statutory authority very clear............case law precedents very clear. It would force the administration into court and would clear way for expeditious advancement to SCOTUS. End result is to get ALL THE INFORMATION AND COOPERATION NECESSARY FOR CONGRESS TO PERFORM AND MEET THEIR CONSTITUTIONALLY MANDATED DUTY! If evidence revealed showed clear "just cause" for impeachment the impeachment process...inquiry...could then proceed. I know this sounds a little strange but these are strange times. Suggested by Robert Reich and Richard Painter
