I don't recall this happening. Is it possible that I may have placed a pillow over his face momentarily while being around him? Possibly. But I don't recall this happening.

Is it a straight vote of the committee or the full congress, to hold a witness in contempt?

TY for no bm

The legislation was worked out by Sens. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, and Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, of the Banking Committee, and Sens. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and Ben Cardin, D-Md., of the Foreign Relations panel.

Either way it's not happening. It should since AG Leghorn doesn't have a leg to stand on for his behavior, but it's not going to happen.

I think the reason some of the committee members are getting upset is that he really CAN'T. Or rather, the reasons he's stating as to why he can refuse don't really hold water or even exist. The Chairman just made a point to put it on record that someone else in a high ranking position had no issues when it came to this sort of thing. They already accused him of stonewalling them lmao

And he's lying right now and once they confirm it nothing will happen. Nothing will ever happen to any member of our government.

Congress generally respects "executive privilege", the idea that the president's private conversations should remain private. However, when this privilege has been been broken by other people being there, discussion of the group's criminal activities, or the president himself talks about to the public, then executive privilege doesn't apply.

Oh, and here we go with people pointing out directly that Sessions is in contempt of congress.

it's a complete game for the media to blare headlines that trump invoked it, and the fact that some of you fall for the theatrics doesn't surprise me at all. Of course 8 years of Obama's complete scandal free administration has sheltered many of you in these types of processes and games.

He's smiling his face off. There is a thing called "Dupers Delight" which is probably what's going on. He's loves that he's able to lie his rear end off and get away with it.
