Can rummy be questioned by committees once his is out of office?
I am wondering if they are getting him out to keep his mouth shut? I would think he could be, but not sure.

9. And ANYBODY who doesn't do as ordered can be found in contempt
if I am not mistaken. If he is Joe Citizen, he doesn't get to pull any executive privilege argument to drag it out.

3. Of course.
He most definitely can be subpoenaed to testify about what he did while he was SecDef. And I hope it happens.
