"The Supreme Court said (in United States vs. Touhy) that a state court judge could not hold an employee of the Department of Justice in contempt for failing to comply with a subpoena if they had been ordered not to provide the information by their superior," Bergman said. "Tom Majors, who is an assistant U.S. attorney, testified at Monday's hearing that he had received a letter from the Department of Justice refusing to authorize such testimony."

This is just so wrong! The President, the DOJ, FBI..none of these agencies or any of our branches of government or their people are above the law and this ruling..The US vs. Touhy and the Nichols case show us that the government thinks that it and it's people are above the law.

WE, the people, need to take those arrogant, egomanics down a notch or two. This really makes me mad!

If they won't let the witnesses and the agents who know the truth testify in court, then they should let Nichols go. If they can't give him a fair trial with all the facts laid out on the table then they have no business putting him in jail because he hasn't had a fair trial therefore his prior trial is null and void and if they won't give him a fair trial then they should not be allowed to try him again.

This is as bad as the federal government infringing on people's right of double jeopardy. Once a person is tried in any American court of law, even if the government doesn't like the jury's ruling then they shouldn't be allowed to get a second chance by letting the feds have a go at it or visa versa. Especially, with the feds' history of lying, framing, falsifying evidence and forensic tests.

We need to get a grip on our government, like yesterday. It's totally out of control!

Is that a double, wait triple negative? Okay I will try and dissect:
You subpoena Joe from the FBI to testify. Normally they would be forced to do so or be held in contempt.
Joe's boss says that Joe can't testify. That nullifies the next step which would be to find Joe in contempt.
This is crap, unless there is a matter of national security at stake. I would just like to see the FBI claim that and have people say "Why? Wasn't it just a right-wing nut that blew up the federal building?"

We need to get a grip on our government, like yesterday. It's totally out of control!

Please share YOUR ideas on how to accomplish the above...
