Subpoenas don’t seem to carry much weight when someone can just refuse to come forward and testify, why is that allowed? Contempt charges don’t seem to mean much either (Holder issue of a while back). Nothing ever gets done.

100% correct DaveA37, I think the same thing, and the media doesn't report on any of this, so frustrating.

Are you saying evil should rule because rules aren’t perfect?

Are you saying evil should rule because rules aren’t perfect? Or that when the going gets rough, we should all quit?

“Subpoenas don’t seem to carry much weight when someone can just refuse to come forward and testify, why is that allowed? Contempt charges don’t seem to mean much either (Holder issue of a while back). Nothing ever gets done:

It is the power of adverse publicity that backs up contempt of Congress charges. The administration thumbs its nose at Congress because it knows the old media has its back.

The old media’s definition of a scandal is “when the Washington post *says* it is a scandal”.

In other words, when a Republican jaywalks, it is a scandal, but a Democrat president (who is black) can commit crimes no one else would dream of getting away with, and it is not a scandal.
