    Yes, he had to, but he was not forced to. I assume the criminal matter the article refers to during Dubya's admin was the case of treason involving Scooter Libby so not directly involving Shrub. If Don refuses he will be forced to testify, count on it.

    Did someone mention Grand Jury? I was referring to the grand jury comment where the 5th is acceptible

    Bannon is going before Mueller's grand jury and THEY won't be as accommodating.

    Bannon will have to talk or perjure himself

    Any factual problems or logical holes -- in this case, that it would make little sense for Democrats to have entrapped Trump Jr. before the election only to hold on to the damaging information for almost a year after Election Day -- don't matter so long as these alternative narratives last long enough to confuse audiences during otherwise bad news cycles.

    "All that right-wing media needs to do is just throw out some things that appear to be substantive that have some stray facts that the cult will hang on to, and the cult will do everything else themselves," John Ziegler, a conservative media columnist and former talk radio host, told CNN. "They don't need a full theory. No one ever provides a narrative that explains all this. It's just poking holes and pretending the whole story is fake news. It's a classic trick really. It's a shame that's what the right-wing media has been reduced to."

    No I was replying to this quote of yours "Bannon is going before Mueller's grand jury and THEY won't be as accommodating." I said he could invoke the 5th there. Geesh keep up and remember what you say.

    But the 5th is reserved for protection from self incrimination. I don't think Bannon is in legal jeopardy. That isn't the purpose of him being called to testify. The purpose is to learn what he knows about those who are under investigation......like President Butthole.

    Fortunately, these tactics never work in a court of law which is where some of these issues are headed.
