    Haven't really thought this through much - but it seems to me the 5th Amendment was designed to prevent interrogation without indictment.

    Let alone whether Congress has authority to issue, compel or enforce its own subpoena.

    Either way it will be interesting.

    They should absolutely be discussing it. I don’t think they have the power to do it but they should be making sure they don’t.

    Trump is abandoning rule of law and the checks and balances that this country was built on. It’s dangerous and a threat to our democracy. Congress must explore all options to hold him accountable.
