CNN’s Coates on Barr Contempt Vote: ‘Escalation of Tension’ Between Executive and the Legislative Branches

EXCERPT:

COATES: “So what you're seeing is really the escalation of this tension between the executive privilege and the legislative branch of government, but ultimately this game of chicken will have to be resolved with at least one branch of government going to the third and making it a tri-pod to have a judiciary weigh in to figure out what kind of weight a contempt proceeding will have."
