The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

You can be convicted of contempt of Congress. That doesn't mean you will be.

Unlike Bannon, Holder was able to offer a defense of his refusal to respond to the subpoena - a claim that the materials in question were privileged from being demanded by Congress. That makes it nearly impossible to establish the mens rea requirement of a criminal charge - if Holder is operating under a belief that the documents are subject to Executive Privilege, then getting a conviction will be nearly impossible.

Will you at least admit that the DOJ aggressively nailing every Republican they can find while simultaneously going out of their way to not charge any democrats with anything - or giving dems caught dead to rights barely any slaps on the wrist - looks bad?

Do you see how Republicans just miiiiiiight be a tad suspicious at all that?
