With the refusal of Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson last week to comply with a congressional subpoena, the deliberate destruction of congressional subpoena power is laid bare.
The blame should fall squarely on Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Why have Simpson, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, Christine Blasey Ford (who accused now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault) and many others refused to cooperate or attempted to dictate the terms and timing of their own testimony? Because Congress has given up the power to compel them.
As I described in my book “The Deep State,” one of the key moments that led to my early departure from Congress and the House Oversight Committee came when Sessions inexplicably refused to prosecute subversions of congressional authority. I knew what that decision would cost Congress and the public.
Without enforcement of congressional subpoenas, the impotence of Congress to compel evidence is revealed. And the ability to perform substantive oversight is compromised.
Anyone could have seen this coming. The moment Attorney General Sessions told me he had no intention of prosecuting Clinton IT aide Brian Pagliano, I knew the battle was lost. Pagliano refused to even appear before Congress – not once, but twice.
Up until that point, congressional subpoenas had not been optional except in cases of executive privilege. That’s why President Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder faked an executive privilege claim to protect documents in the Fast and Furious investigation. At the time, it was the only way to subvert congressional authority.
But thanks to Jeff Sessions, that is no longer the case. Once one witness got away with flouting a congressional subpoena, other witnesses followed suit, confident that the Sessions Justice Department will do nothing to enforce congressional authority.

Extremely Etremist.
Not sure.
eff Sessions will go down as one of the worst traitors in American history.
Sessions screwed up from day one. Don’t know whose dumbass idea it was for him to “recuse” himself but it really sucked.
“Jason Chaffetz: Attorney General Sessions needs to go...”
What can you say? Jeff has been a colossal failure.
Jeff who..??
“Don’t know whose dumbass idea it was for him to “recuse” himself but it really sucked.”
Rosenfeinstein’s idea. That was a part of the plan. Get the hand job Sessions to recuse then it was clear sailing for Muellerstein.
Sessions has either done a superb rope a dope and pulled off the biggest sting operation in American history or he is in big trouble and needs to fired
Chaffetz for AG!
After the mid-term elections.
The in box of things that need attention has turned into a mountain. Mr Sessions would be better suited for gardening in the back yard of his home. Time for an alpha wolf to take care of business.
Hell NO!
No more swamp rats as AG or DAG or...
Same hearing...

Thank you. Beat me to it.
Not sure when Sessions joined the resistance but it was early on.
Thanks. Hard to believe it’s been 25 years and the Clintons are still walking around free.
Maybe, but he has that diminutive and cretin-like appearance of inbreeding.
I hope.
As was I.
