2. No it's not

I read last night that Boehner/Gowdy are going to get together to "sanction" HRC for deleting her personal E-mails from her server. What's to stop this sanction from being refusing to seat her?

Boehner: "We can't possibly accept the electoral votes for someone who the House of Representatives has deemed to be in contempt."

They can just vote to hold her in contempt like they did A.G. Holder and then use that as pretext.

Also, they already plan on hauling her up to Capitol Hill to their Starr Chamber to testify at least twice, according to Politico. If they're going to force the presumptive democratic nominee to testify all during the campaign, which would be unprecedented, what's to stop them from taking even further unprecedented action?

Also, if I had told you January 20, 2009 that the GOP would nearly bring the world's economy down by creating a debt default crisis, would you have believed me then?

Also, if I had told you on January 20, 1997 that the House GOP would impeach President Clinton over receiving oral sex in the oval office despite overwhelming public opposition and losing seats in the 1998 midterm over it, would you have believed me?
