Jeffrey Clark Violates Congressional Subpoena but w/Steve Bannon Still Unindicted, Will it Matter?

Glenn Kirschner


Former Department of Justice official Jeffrey Clark, one of the people who joined Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the presidential election, appeared pursuant to a House select committee subpoena but refused to testify. Although Representative Bennie Thompson, Chairman of the select committee, promised aggressive action to enforce the subpoena, the committee is being hamstrung by the DOJ.

As far as he is concerned Congressional subpoenas are toothless.

Turning the committee into a laughing stock.

Disgusting.

Remember that Obama selected him as his S.C. nominee because he was so conservative that Obama thought the Rethugs wouldn't have a problem with him. Well, he's proving Obama right.

I was not impressed with the Garland nomination, after Obamas first and second picks that one seemed half hearted at best.

boards pf each of those lawyers requested by the judge, who sent the referral. Anyone can file an ethics complaint against them and this is a clear breach of ethics.

because they think him a loose cannon and they don't know what he's got? Make any sense?

They still haven't announced any results from the RNC/DNC bomb suspect case. Hmmm. See there are lots of parts to complete in such a large widespread investigation.

Or that he is not WEAK.
Put Bannon in prison until he talks.
