Wow well Republicans won’t even testify to congress so why would anybody else?

I really don't understand the purpose. The only ones that literally anyone can keep information away from, is the 'common man'. There isn't a single Government, Corporation, Bank or Filthy Rich Person; who can be stopped from accessing everything about you, digital or physically.

Congress doesn't allow people to actually talk when questioned. They just badger the f out of everyone.

😂😂 Well, Lindsey did say ignore calls to testify in the House. Even those presented wit subpoenas. Evangelicals will say, do unto others, etc etc... so y y’all trip?

What fake news

Facebook is partnered with the Chinese Communist Party. No wonder they remove any valid opinions or clean jokes that they don’t view as left-wing

Ooooo...Republicans are pissed off that Requests to be questioned by Congress was turned down! Total Hypocrisy!

lol republicans

Subpoenas that don't work shut em down they're not making any money I guarantee it'll come up and talk.
