Anyone else find it ironic that the Democrats are all over the moon for the Constitution?

Big freaking deal, contempt charges don't mean squat! Impeached and removed from office does.

Connelly misconstruing the 5th Amendment with the Miranda Arrest Statement.

The problem Connelly, is that she SAID she was innocent, but her EMAILS says she’s not.

Once. Son of sharecroppers who did'nt have no rights.

He also played a Boogie Man card - McCarthy hearings.

Gerald Connolly of Virginia (D): Now trying to cite Madison as being on the other side of the argument. Trying to cite case law that says profession of innocence does not waive 5th Amendment right. Especially when people are unpopular, Constitution has to be followed. Calling it a Star Chamber.

They are voting now. They are not going to recess for the vote.

Patrick McHenry (R), North Carolina. People who once were targeted are now targeting others.

It’s the right thing to do, but this ‘justice’ department will NOT prosecute this old shriveled up saggy-skin liar.
Furthermore, it will get a high paying, low-effort job compliments of the democrat party, when this is all over.

Going to consult with his lawyer?

Speier calling this a political hearing

I guess she learned nothing from her experience at Jonestown, and continues to drink deep from the Obama kool-aid jug.
