For the sake of discussion, let's assume Garland charges Wray and he goes to trial. Regardless of the verdict, Congress loses ALL their leverage over those documents because there is nothing they can do to force the issue. Wray would have already been charged and tried for not complying...ever hear of the double jeopardy prohibition?Skans » 01 Jun 2023, 12:16 pm » wrote: ↑ No. It's not a waste of time. The goal is getting documents. Documents that Wray refuses to produce. There are 2 ways to go about this. One is to have Wray held in contempt of Congress. The other is through impeachment of Wray.
As for impeaching Wray. Go ahead...a dem controlled Senate won't convict. Like it or not...there is almost nothing Congress can do when someone tells them to pound sand is cases like this related to getting documents. Same was true when dems held Trump associates in contempt.
