"SNIP.....

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) told USA Today that the House Intelligence committee “will have to prioritize the most important witnesses and records that Republicans blocked them from pursuing.”

“The ‘clearest example; of that obstruction, he said, is phone records that would show whether the blocked phone number – logged as Trump Jr. was arranging a meeting with a Russian lawyer in Trump Tower – belonged to then-candidate Donald Trump.”

“At first, Trump Jr. said he never told his father of the meeting, but then later told Senate investigators that he couldn’t recall who he spoke with that night.”

......SNIP"

Jr. had best watch his back. The new Sheriffs in town will not be caving to Daddy's threats. For THEY hold the keys to the jail.

Because I don't recall that actually ever happening, but maybe you remember something I don't?

And doesn't the DOJ hold the keys to the jail (i.e. the actual power to prosecute/jail anyone for ... any federal crime)?
