      Normally, I would totally agree. But this isn’t the justice system. Congress can indict anyone they want with a majority and no one blocking it. Its not a trial, and if you don’t go it’s contempt. They people voted in know that this is why they were voted in. Lying is perjury. You’ll have a senator yelling at Don Jr “did your company make money off of that decision either directly or indirectly? Would they have made that money had that decision not been made? Or- Did you have affiliations with the CEO of that company before they were awarded the contract?” Then he’ll say something like “I did not know him” and then they’ll say “well, we subpoenaed records from your golf club and found you played golf with him no less than 7 times last year…”

        You’re thinking about the technical ability to do it. I agree 100% there’s avenues to fuck them up. What I doubt is that the Democrats would actually use the tools to do it. I know there’s a few insurgent progressives that would absolutely prosecute the shit out of the hogs. I think they won’t get enough support from the do-nothing corporate Democrats that are paid by the oligarch class. We’ll see tho. I hope they realize that this will get them primaried.
