    first the subpoenas, then the stonewalling, then the contempt findings, then either law suits or impeachment proceedings or both.

    The process is pretty well defined.

    You might be interested in this:

    From "Island of the Mad" by Laurie R. King. Setting is 1920's Italy.

    """But the fascisti are less concerned with theory than they are with raw power. If one plays on fear, takes awayany remotely complicated ideas, and offers people a sense of confidence and right, one's followers will beat to death any enemy they are pointed at.""

    After the murder of an opponent of Mussolini: ""The world waited gleefully for Italian Fascism to crumble undercharges of conspiracy and murder, and another would be tyrant to fade away behind bars.
    Yet , it did not. Instead the thugs succeeded. Newspapers critical of the cause were shut down. The Italian King decided that he feared the country's Republicans and socialists more than he did the Fascists, and refused to dismiss the Mussolini government.

    And, a few months later, Benito Mussolini stood before his nation to declare himself absolute ruler of his country , and to take proud responsibility for the violence that had put him there.""""

    Er... yes.

    You said that I didn't refute one word of the post. Since I obviously did, your post is refuted.

    Funny that you falsly accuse me, then say that there was no reason for you to bother checking to see that your accusation is false.

    It's taking place in many countries because neo-liberal regimes have been weakened by global crises.
