We keep talking about as if there are actually legal cases divorced of politics. the absolute opposite is true. the only reason why we have special prosecutors is because they are political figures who happen to be for a sitting president and former president. this would not be the case with regular law mira member of congress. maybe with kinzinger, but definitely not with a staffer who took any of their documents. the case would move forward in prosecution almost immediately. it wouldnt be a qu...

About the importance of complying with subpoenas. jim jordan refused to follow his own subpoena. he subscribes to subpoenas for thee, but not for me. theres a reason why prosecutors cant discuss pending investigations. it alerts suspects where you dont want them to be told whats going to happen, and you have problems with possibly having a sixth amendment violation of a right to a fair trial for the ultimate defendant. theyre got going to get this stuff no matter how hard they try. >> that seems...
