As it should. The ridiculousness of congressmen asking a local prosecutor to testify about a possible indictment on an ongoing case before the grand jury has even handed down a decision is fucking asinine and I expect entirely unprecedented.

Tell me they’re not trying to influence a decision on a criminal matter.

Even if/when the indictment is voted, it's sealed as a matter of state law until it's actually filed in court at the arraignment. And then it's a matter of prosecutorial ethics to litigate the case in the courts and not out in the open where it could influence potential trial jurors.

So many levels of stupid here by the House GOP.
