"any person who is summoned before Congress who "willfully makes default, or who, having appeared, refuses to answer any question pertinent to the question under inquiry" shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a maximum $1,000 fine and 12 months’ imprisonment."
I think it’s $100,000, not $1,000. Not that that would matter either, to them.

It is appalling. 1000 bucks to the likes of the organizers is chump change.
