Still no Contempt Vote in either House or Senate
I guess following the Law is just not important to this Congress. When a subpoena is issued it supposedly carries the weight of the Law and when they are ignored it is exactly the same as the Law being ignored. Is there a good excuse for ignoring Law breaking? Afraid of ????????

1. You got to have Republicans running Congress to get subpoenas enforced
Well, that's how it appears.

You think the Republicans during Clinton's presidency would have allowed a single Democrat to ignore a subpoena? Hell no.
