Nope> I want Page to testify or suffer the consequences. Don’t care whether she’s still in the FBI or not. If Mueller can seize Manafort’s private possessions for a probe (with no indictments), then Page’s government materials can be seized, esp. if it contains classified materials.
When I was a journalist covering Congress, I saw a communist Party official get hit with “contempt of Congress”. Of course nothing happened because it was a “dog and pony show” and arresting the guy would only have given the Party more publicity.
However, what Page and Strzok have said/done is really serious and most probably illegal, besides being unethical, etc. A contempt of Congress conviction would bring serious jail time.
I don’t know what Page’s marriage status is right now, but Strzok was married so he might suffer the most (separation, divorce, social ostracism, etc).
Time to quite playing “Sally go round the pansies” and start enforcing the laws.
By the way, I gave 4 congressional testimonies (one in Executive Session), one written testimony due to a late notice of the hearing that prevented us from appearing in person, and one major congressional study, and assisted in several others/reports, etc. Also worked for a congressman, and added in several investigations as an outside research person.
There is a lot you can do to defang a reluctant or hostile subpoenaed witness. Time to put the screws to Page and Strzok for what they have done or refuse to do, as well as to set a glaring example of what awaits those who think that they are going to play “clam” and get away with their crimes.
Has nothing to do with declaring martial law and suspending the constitution. It is a matter of protecting the Constitution from those who have abused it and are essentially destroying it.
The more "hands on" knowledgeable people commenting here @ FR, the better.
I am (obviously) not a legal beagle. Upthread, this was posted:
You don’t have a right to be shown all the documents in the possession of the government before being questioned.

Is this correct, in this situation?
