John Miller on Any Other FBI Director Ordering to Probe ‘Seditious Six:’ ‘That’s a Solid No’

EXCERPT:

MILLER: "No. That‘s a solid no. I mean, they would -- they would first say, 'Well, what are they being accused of?' Now, the speech and debate clause is critical here because here‘s where you find, you know, the hidden gems that are being unearthed here. If the FBI shows up and says, 'We want to question all six of you separately,' what if they say, 'No, I refuse?' Then they could get a grand jury subpoena. But to subpoena them before a grand jury, of course, they would be able to invoke the Fifth Amendment. But that‘s covered by the speech and debate clause. Members of Congress are immune from almost any kind of law enforcement, as long as they are acting in their capacity as elected officials and making their speech as a member of Congress. So the only exception to that is crimes like treason, which is probably why the people around the Trump Administration, starting with the president of the United States, are throwing out words like sedition and treason and death penalty."
