I am sure this has been asked before. . . .

I was old enough in 1974 to remember Richard Nixon's tricks at the Watergate Apartments, and I clearly recall him referring to "those clowns down at the Justice Department" on tape. . . .

In any case, I am getting away from my question. I ALSO remember that those who refused the "invitation" to testify before Congress were given a very real threat of jail unless they complied. WHY is this not being done now?

I would so love to see Bill Barr and LOTS of others squealing in handcuffs. It would be even better than porn!

"those who refused the "invitation" to testify before Congress were given a very real threat of jail unless they complied."

Those in charge of enforcing the subpoenas work for the US Department of Justice.
.....and WHO'S in charge of the DOJ?
