Don't you get it... If the Committees in charge of this don't clap back against the recent and blatant thumbing of their subpoenas...it's fucking done.

I appreciate the need for testimony and documentation, but if the DOJ WH & anyone else involved say NO and receive NO CONSEQUENCES...the Rule of Law is done for.

...and THAT has NOTHING to do with ME or anything I can do on this level. THEY are the ones in charge of this and how it plays out. And they are dropping the ball...we are screwn.
