(2,957 posts)Yes, they were digging for dirt that could be used in an impeachment proceeding. But, the 18 months wasn't for refusing to testify in the impeachment trial itself.
sometimes the details are kind of important.

(7,402 posts)If a sitting President can't be indicted then why was a Grand Jury empaneled? Looks like another case where there is one set of rules for a Democrat and a more relaxed set for a Republican.

(6,254 posts)recall didnt the court say that the contempt had become punitive after it became obvious she wasnt going to testify? I maybe confusing her with a lawyer in Pa. who was jailed for years for contempt after refusing to testify where he stashed his millions in a divorce case.

I made a joke about how she should have socked Tucker Carlson after some obnoxious interview he had with her, and she wrote in my book, "Lisa, do you want me to go to jail again for 'punching Tucker'?"
Look how much power these republicans have now!
