Congress deserves no respect as long as it will not use its power.
Congress can zero out the budget of the DOJ. Congress can literally impeach the AG. Congress can literally -abolish- the FBI.
Congress prefers to whine that nobody respects them. I wouldn’t either. Another Grassley investigation with no results? Another scornful Gowdy remark? That’s supposed to scare anyone? Laughable.
I don’t want this person testifying to congress, why, for what purpose?
Fast & Furious : people died.... Investigated by congress
IRS scandal : laws broken ... Investigated by congress
Benghazi : Laws broken, people died... Investigated by congress
I want a secret Grand Jury impaneled , and charges brought forward for prosecution. What is testifying to congress going to accomplish? Its not going to accomplish anything, as usual.
Congress can also pass a law protecting the whistleblower from prosecution or retaliation, and provide for punishing anyone personally who attempts to do so. That can be done by simple majority vote should Congress choose to make it happen.
