In reply to the discussion: What's the scenario for Tuesday? Will Bannon turn himself in or what? [View all]IbogaProject
(6,177 posts)42. Susan McDougal
Susan McDougal did 18 months for criminal contempt for refusing to testify before the Whitewater probe, she was also convicted or plead to some crime related to her whitewater dealings.
Bannon and the rest should be cited. Hold them to testify. Once one does hold their feet to the fire they can only "take the fifth" for their own actions they have to answer about everyone else.
During any testimony plant words by stating clearly what they are implicantly not denying by takin the right against self incrimination.
They can claim "witch hunt" but if they don't testify we get to make the story.

OP
It is frustrating and annoying that a slang for Mal genitalia is used as a synonym

It's up to the Dems - there's a big difference between criminal contempt and inherent contempt.

Good read but what's the answer as to why the Dems won't use inherent contempt?

Do the investigations and legal processes stop immediately if the House switches Parties?

Bannon is backed by dark money. It will be another test of the guardrails of our democracy.
