If it was a REAL Investigation by CONgress, these recalcitrant witnesses would be in PRISON already.
Dog meet Pony!
Sections 192–194 of title 2 of the United States Code provide:
Every person who having been summoned as a witness by the authority of either House of Congress,
to give testimony or to produce papers upon any matter under inquiry before either House, or
any committee of either House of Congress, willfully makes default, or who having appeared, refuses
to answer any questions pertinent to the question under inquiry, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,
punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000 nor less than $100, and imprisonment in a
common jail for not less than one month nor more than twelve months.
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which
he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the
ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or
otherwise render him infamous.
Whenever a witness summoned as mentioned fails to testify, and the facts axe reported to either
House, the President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House, as the case may be, shall certify the
fact under the seal of the Senate or House to the district attorney for the District of Columbia, whose
duty it shall be to bring the matter before the grand jury for their action.
I totally agree with you that Congress is not yet using all the weapons at their legal disposal. However, neither is Trump, so right now the shots being fired from Congress is all we really got. And quite a few landed right on target yesterday.
But do recognize that in the case of FISA Court issues and in many other matters that National Security requirements can legitimately provide an escape clause to limit testimony.
Personally I believe that Wray was on solid ground yesterday. FISA Court proceedings are classified and properly so.
Seriously? This is a joke.
