I really did not know that you could just ignore Congress. They hold people in contempt, issue subpoenas, and then - nothing happens. People just ignore Congress. They don't show up. They just tell Congress to cram it. I did not know you could do that. It seems you can. Now try that with a traffic ticket. They will have you in jail in no time.
