And then there could be civil litigation in courts that could also get to this.

What's clear, though, is somebody's got to make the AG follow the law.

And I would like to remind them, anybody at the DOJ who's watching this show right now, this isn't a subpoena.

It's a law.

And so it doesn't expire at the end of this Congress.

So a future attorney general can prosecute anybody who's involved in disobeying this law.

It could.

It could do that.

Yeah.

I mean, the next administration could come in and prosecute them.

The reason that typically hasn't happened in the past is because Congress, whether like it's an oversight committee or the Judiciary Committee, issues a subpoena.

Somebody doesn't show up.

And then from the DOJ.

Yeah, the Clintons, for example.

But the harder case is when you have somebody at the DOJ who's thumbing their nose at Congress.

So you refer contempt to the DOJ and the DOJ says, you know, we don't think we're going to find ourselves in contempt.

So they never act upon it.

And it's a time bomb with a fuse that defuses itself at the end of a Congress because subpoenas expire.

If they were issued by one Congress, they don't carry into the next Congress.

This is a law that doesn't go to the end of Congress.
