Actually, I didn't realize there was a hold up.
Why do you think this is?
What do you mean by hold up? People defying subpoenas?

Wow. You're a "birther"? I would've given even you the benefit of a doubt.File it with Obama's birth certificate and call it a day.
So, you would ignore the powers that the Constitution dictates? And do you think what happened on January 6th wasn't "hostile" and should just be ignored? I watched it live for many hours and was horrified at what I saw. Doesn't the undermining of American democracy by Trump and his collaborators bother you?I don't think I'd show up before a hostile congress.
Using this logic, then we should eliminate our entire court system at all levels because the same exact thing can happen there.First they can find a way to use anything you say against you. Second, they can make your life quite miserable. Third, I see little reason to trust a politician with personal information. If I could find a way to avoid testifying to congress, I certainly would, whether I had anything to hide or not.

I just projected forth your logic on this to other areas.Yeah, I don't recall saying any of this.
No words in my mouth please.

No system is perfect, whether that be the Constitutional process of congressional oversight or what takes place in courts across our land on a daily basis. Thus, as the saying goes, "Don't let the perfect become the enemy of the good".
That's court in general, and even the most lowly ranked courts I won't even disobey. They can really mess things up for you.I don't think I'd show up before a hostile congress.

If you want to consider that cowardice, I'm ok with that.
Congress has no power to prosecute.Or as I pointed out in another post, determine which is the greater risk. Accepting the penalties per the legal system or trusting the political nature of Congress.
Yes, that is the way it works.Congress has no power to prosecute.
So can them congress people. Very easy for them to create a narrative in the media to turn public opinion against you. Then try to make a living/support your family.That's court in general, and even the most lowly ranked courts I won't even disobey. They can really mess things up for you.
That happens to people not even in court. But court is court. It doesn't matter if it's a Congressional subpoena or a subpoena to small claims, you have to show up and failure to do so typically leads to harsh penalties. And the best thing to, testifying before congress or a judge in small claims court, is be honest with them. They don't like liars and liars as well often face harsh penalties.So can them congress people. Very easy for them to create a narrative in the media to turn public opinion against you.

Though I suppose either way, you'd be toast. Whether you testify or not testify the media narrative will likely go against you.
Maybe I'd go if I thought I could outsmart the politicians. Maybe if I didn't think I could I'd consider the legal penalties the better option. Or if I thought I could afford the lawyers to navigate the courts system like Bannon.
I suppose a flaw in our legal system when it comes to who can afford the better lawyer.
As if there's actually, really a choice there anyways. Jail or prison for a no show, running to a country who won't extradite you, or just show up in court, which may lead to jail or prison anyways but at least the sentence will be lesser and the judge won't be starting the case in an especially bad mood.Congress has no power to prosecute.

Maybe we can put together a collection here so we can send you to test how that works out?A politician not liking liars. That's funny.
So I'll change my statement. If I could afford high priced lawyers, I'd likely tell congress to **** off too.
Also lawyers usually recommend the client doesn't testify. Anything publicly can be used against them.
Honest or not, ignorance of the legal system won't protect you.

And I would say thinking you can push the courts around is probably just as bad for your situation as ignorance. Being ignorant means they'll try and pull one on you. Trying to push them will make them push back, and it will be hella harder than you'll ever be able to.
You know you will never get a straight answer to such a question.Wow. You're a "birther"? I would've given even you the benefit of a doubt.
When people habitually dodge and duck out of debates, it exposes how weak and flimsy their stance and point of view really is.You know you will never get a straight answer to such a question.
