Does lack of cooperation by Sessions & others help or hurt Robert Muller's investigation? (Original Post) Chasstev365 Jun 2017 OP
As I understand, no. Mueller can subpoena and they have to answer the questions. nt jrthin Jun 2017 #1
What are the repercussions if they don't? Generic Brad Jun 2017 #4

I think all this sits a base. Also, sets a trap for further hearings. pirateshipdude Jun 2017 #10

Which appears to cause severe temporary dementia aand delusions of privilege in many people who have to testify under oath.

who prosecuted major financial fraud, terrorism and public corruption cases, narcotics conspiracies and international money launderers; assistant to Attorney General Thornburgh in charge of the criminal division, managing prosecutions of Manuel Noriega, the Lockerbie bombing case, and John Gotti; FBI Director; to name just a few things... has it figured out, way ahead of any of us.

"I hope he can see what a 12 year old can see"? Seriously?

I admit it, I love the movies Heavy Metal and Star Wars and Lord of the Rings but so do a whole lot of other folks. They speak to our need to have heroes. To have those who will sacrifice themselves for the good of the many. I am idealistic enough to think those people exist within our own government and Intel agencies. They are quietly, cunningly working to take down the incompetent, fear filled manchild who seems set on destroying our democracy and everybody else's. I don't think there was a dark state when Twitler took office but I do believe his own actions created one. Here's hoping they pull it off.

As the information is gathered, and the investigation progressives, it kind of leaves these people hanging.
