Why even BOTHER making these sorts take oaths??? If they can step around those promises on technicalities with the PRIME interests of saving their jobs, then let's hold their pay until the deliver. We're all SO tired of all the offcius obfuscation and truths that make pretzels envious!
Let me refuse to answer in a court of law to cover for someone else and see how fast I get fitted for an orange jumpsuit!

This is contempt of congress. Lock 'em up!

Their lack of cooperation tells my intuition one thing. There is something very big hiding under the thin surface of this situation. And it ain't Trump's hands. No one wants to be the first person who breaks everything wide open. They are afraid and seemingly very afraid.

We MUST have an independent investigation commission NOW! It's the only was to get to the answers. It would be NON partisan, fast, thorough and complete, fully staffed ans resourced, and the public would be allowed to know what's going on! We have to get the GOP House to sign the bill already introduced in congress by dems to sign it. Call your rep (202)225-3121.

Where they appear to be dummying up--NOT able to tell the truth--they're LYING and covering for twittler per this crooked, ruskie-installed White Houses' wishes ...

I'm heavily leaning towards thinking that tomorrow Comey won't be saying much of anything showing twittler guilty of obstruction. I wasn't looking for a smoking gun at all anyway, because things of a confidential nature must be kept confidential (Funny, but they're NOT being asked to leak confidential information in public ), but feel we'll not be getting much from Comey.

This crooked White House got TO Coats, Rogers etc.

awesome, and second those assholes refusing to questions sounds collusion-y to me. With a side dish of contempt.

takes prior privilege over any pledge they made to tell what he asks. He wants them to feel conflicted when they know there's no question where their loyalty lies.

Whatever else King is angling for is secondary, in my view.
