I know their strategy is to not submit to any subpoena's until an actual vote is held, whether or not that is legal or not I suppose would fall to the judicial branch. Technically it's legal, but is easily enough for Congress to rule they are in contempt. At which point it becomes illegal and Congress is allowed to jail people for obstructing Congress. So it is effectively illegal, though Congress so far has chosen to not make arrests and instead just compile it as evidence of obstruction. --- DPOblivion was far more determined than me. <cite>HeroDelTiempo17 posted [p:928515752] in Politics C...
