The House Jan. 6 Committee said Tuesday that it would consider using “other tools” to collect information after Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) rejected the committee’s request for cooperation.
Why, it’s almost as if they expected him to be a prick about this.
The $5 wrench (XKCD decryption key retrieval tool). The hammer. The big pliers.
If you have nothing to hide something, something.

Ahh, yes! The waterboard!
The stupid son of a bitch is gonna get got.
[Jan. 6 Committee Will Consider ‘Other Tools’ To Get Scott Perry Info]
They’re going to use Paul Gosar and Mo Brooks to get Scott Perry’s Info?
As “General” Perry surely understands there’s more than one way to skin a cat.
Send the US Marshalls to his office to expalin why the request is legitimate and that next time it won’t be a request.
Yep, another Sovereign Citizen.
He’s not as flagrantly freakish as the Gosars and MTGs, but he’s one of them and prominently so, and to the fire his feet must go. And if he ends up in prison that’s good too. I hold no brief for every Pennsylvanian, that’s for sure. Plus I don’t like his looks. 
Nasty piece of work, and it shows.
The committee has chosen to make this guy the test case and my question is why this guy instead of several others?
Or to put another way, what does the committee already have on Scott Perry or as I am sure the criminal lawyers here will agree, as a general rule you do not ask on cross or otherwise to a hostile witness a question you do not already know the answer to.
That is for him to be the first member of Congress to receive a request tells me they have very good reasons for making him the test case.
I’m sure Karma is taking extensive notes.
[“Notably, though the committee has issued a steady stream of subpoenas over the last few weeks, it did not subpoena Perry, who is the first member of Congress to receive a request for records.”] emphasis added
“First” usually is associated with being “the best”…
They are running scared. As well they should be.
Just spitballing, but Perry is the trifecta. 1) Congressguy communicating with 2) White House about 3) DOJ power grab.
He’s the guy who was coordinating efforts among the crazy congresscritters. Lower visibility, higher functioning, the more dangerous. Nice to have him in the crosshairs.
The guy who flagrantly violated the most important part of the Constitution -the part about not overthrowing the government -is now trying to baselessly claim the Select Committee is illegitimate. I can’t wait to see this guy face criminal charges.
Other tools eh? 
Perhaps the good congressman would like to have a seat?
I don’t assume this is a test case. I agree with you (and the criminal lawyers) about asking questions of certain people, and if that is the case, this request for info is no test at all. This isn’t even the shot across the bow. I think this is the real deal, and the members of the 1/6 Committee have the goods to convict.
