1. Sadly I imagine these subpoenas will just be ignored ......

Barr set the tone for this, unless our leadership can get past the wrist slapping stage nothing will happen. I'm waiting for Barr to be locked up until he testifies under oath, until that happens I see no progress.

3. Setting the stage for Inherent Contempt

Which is what I hold this administration in, as well.

4. Susan McDougal was thrown into prison

because she wouldn't answer several questions the way the prosecution wanted her to. She was a political prisoner for almost 2 years. They kept shipping her to different prisons, I believe as a way to keep harassing her. In the end, she was found not guilty of all obstruction charges and settled out of court on a civil suit against the judge in the case. If you read about the Whitewater investigation, it looks so petty compared to the amount of criminal activity going on now. The McDougals did own a saving and loan and they were charged separately for wrongdoings involving illegal use of funds.

5. I don't know how she survived and kept her sanity.

Read The Hunting of the President, or see the documentary.

Thanks for mentioning her. She should be mentioned more often. Her name should be thrown in the faces of the MAGAts.

2. I believe they've already shredded volumes..

Career criminals rarely leave evidence.
