They decide on executive privilege via a suit or appeal if a contempt charge is brought hlthe2b Oct 2019 #38

Let's just simplify this. Corey Lewandowski is called Laura PourMeADrink Oct 2019 #43

That is a civil contempt issue and they would litigate just as they already are on several others. hlthe2b Oct 2019 #45
