You should post this in its own thread to educate the rest of DU.

It does appear that Congress is not invoking this 2002 Rule,either formally via subpoenas, or informally in press appearances.

It also appears that the interpretation of this 2002 rule regarding what constitutes a “threat” is up to the AG, whereas the legal precedent is clear that if Congress opens an impeachment inquiry, Rule 6e is suspended, regardless of the position of the AG.
