What's worse than holding the US AG in Contempt for refusing to break the law?
Proceeding with an OFFICIAL House vote to hold the US AG in Contempt of Congress AFTER being told / confirmed that releasing Grand Jury information IS illegal.
Nadler and Pelosi may have gotten away with it the 1st time by being able to claim they were stupid....
But a Constitutional law expert testified before Nadler and confirmed releasing Grand Jury information is a crime, adding that the DC Circuit Court had settled a case on this exact issue months ago. He finished by making sure Nadler knew what they had just done to the US AG was to hold him in Contempt for refusing to break the law.
They can't say now that they don't know...so if they go through with holding an OFFICIAL House vote to do so it will be recognized for what it is - a vindictive, unethical partisan move, and there will be a backlash.
