If you’re a baseball player rumored to have taken steroids, you’ll be under the kleig lights for over one year.
A single loose, foolish statement in a private phone call, and you can lose a basketball team.

At the very least you can show up, make a long, high-handed defensive statement, and then turn around and plead the fifth.
Following the law is just for the Little People?
We shall see.
Don't get me wrong, I fully expect them to try. Hypocrisy is not a problem for Democrats.

Barber, Barrow (GA), McIntyre, Murphy (FL), Peterson, and Rahall are the dims voting for it.
Pretty much. Until Blubbering Boehner is replaced nothing will happen.

Oh wow, I’ll just bet Lois and the Dems are shaking in their boots! Not!

Sorry, but not one thing is going to happen, and the Dems know it!
