Who remembers Susan McDougal?

Who remembers Susan McDougal?

She served 18 months for ignoring a subpoena to testify in the Whitewater case against the Clintons. Let me say it again. Served 18 months in Prison for ignoring a subpoena.

A better parallel would be Eric Holder being charged with contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena, if you know what happened then you know how this will end.

She refused to testify because she knew it was a trap.

She was asked to lie, and she refused to do so. That is NOT the same as ignoring a subpoena. Basically, she was railroaded.

She is NOT the example to be used for the current people ignoring subpoenas.

Read her book The Woman Who Wouldn't Talk. I had the privilege of seeing her, and hearing her talk about her book not long after it came out.
