that day in front of the nadler committee as the low point for the democrats effort? it was so the short answer is nothing prevents any of these witnesses from testifying, right? the fact that the administration has asserted a privilege way beyond anything that the law supports. yeah. just an absolute congress has no oversight over us. you ve been saying that from the beginning. it s just astounding. but particularly when they re leaving the administration, the administration really can t stop them as private citizens from doing what they want to do, if they choose to do the right thing. they certainly if a court gets a hold of this, it s very hard to imagine a court that doesn t compel their testimony. the lewandowsky example was a low point because he wasn t even ever a member of the administration. he was never an employee of the white house. he was a campaign employee. he was a private citizen.
he was a campaign employee. he was a private citizen. he was being asked to engage as a private citizen. none of those privileges can apply in that sense. so actually rick perry, for example, he s a few more arguments than a lewandowski. i think what was so critical in that testimony when lewandowski testified that people need to understand is, it s not so easy for congress to use its inherent authority to hold someone in contempt. it s so underutilized, there s not a lot of case law around it and it would be quite explosive. what we re seeing now with the ukraine probe is they don t have to wait anymore. they have articles of impeachment. they could vote now, just from what we ve seen in the public sphere in terms of evidence. there is such evidence for impeachment right now. susan page, you and i have been around for a minute, and we ve seen and covered a few stories. two-part question for you. number one, can you please
