re: #55 Killgore Trout

Probably because of executive privileged. Congress doesn’t really have authority over the Secret Service or Presidential security. If there are real problems with Presidential security it’s probably best not to discuss them live on CNN. I assume the congressional hearings were largely a Republican dog and pony show. Not important or relevant.

Could be. And the Executive Privilege argument at least makes some sense.

Still, there’s only one thing that anyone needs to know: where the asshats on the list or not? Email the list down to the hearing room, at least, and be done with it if you don’t want the staff sworn and questioned. It’s going to be subpoenaed anyway if charges are filed.
