I called his office to enthusiastically congratulate him and urge him to keep it going!

This sounds like contempt of congress to me…

Surely, they knew that they were going to be asked about these conversations and they didn’t get a legal justification for not answering them? Huh??

Those two rendered themselves unemployable after we get rid of Trump.

One more time for all the diaper-filling anti-anti-Trump pundits!

@tstmauro Their legal justification is the rarely invoked ā€˜I DON’T WANNA!’

I saw that exchange and I was very heartened that Sen. King was NOT in the mood for f*cking around.

ā€œI’m not sure I have a legal basis,ā€

Then you need to respond. It’s pretty much that simple. ā€œThe truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.ā€

Ultimately, the refusal to answer is an answer. If there had been any way that they could have denied the allegations without running afoul of perjury or lying-to-congress liability, they would have done so. It’s like finding a guy standing over a body with a gun, and at trial they take the 5th instead of saying ā€œI didn’t do it.ā€

King had them looking guilty and foolish. Thank you sir, for at least exposing that (for whatever reason) they are choosing to protect donnie rather than give the public the truth. F*ck them for not fulfilling their oaths. I hope they pay for it.

Might it also be that these three may be interested in any criminal charges that might be compromised by King’s grand-standing?

One can only have great respect and admiration for Angus King, he’s fearless, hence the ā€œIā€ by his name!

Agreed. That was to me the highlight of the otherwise disheartening hearing.

One person’s ā€œgrand-standingā€ is another person’s ferreting out the truth.

ā€œI would like a legal justification for your refusal to answer,ā€ King said.

The honest answer?

ā€œLoyalty to my party matters more than loyalty to my country, my oath to uphold the Constitution, the armed forces I put in harm’s way by refusing to answer, the People of the United States for whom I show utter contempt by my reckless dereliction of duty, personal integrity, or any reputation that I once had but now have permanently and irrevocably trashed,ā€

Angus King looks like Central Casting sent him. Not to mention the name.
