We are voting on whether a witness who has received the benefit of a sweeping federal pardon can be ordered by this committee to answer questions and then defy that order without consequence.

Holding a witness in contempt is a serious thing, and it should be rare.

I think there's another legal question that the courts may have to decide upon, and that is whether or not a presidential pardon offers you complete immunity.

This is a war of choice, and it wouldn’t have been my choice.
