Here it comes: We’re going to see, more than likely, a supreme test of the notion that “no one is above the law” that Attorney General Merrick Garland keeps reminding us.<\/p>\n

The House select 1\/6 committee has subpoenaed Donald J. Trump to talk to the committee about all he knows about what happened before, during and after the insurrection. Trump has issued a 14-page response that doesn’t way whether he will honor the summons and talk to the committee.<\/p>\n

Congress could cite the ex-president of contempt of Congress. He could be indicted for that. Trump could go to trial. A jury could convict him … all of which happened to former Trump adviser\/toadie Steve Bannon, who now is facing a two-year term in a federal prison.<\/p>\n

Is Trump on the same plain as the rest of us? Must he face the consequence of prison time if he refuses honor the demands of a duly constituted congressional committee?<\/p>\n

Merrick Garland says he must. I believe we are to learn in due course whether The Donald actually dodges this bullet.<\/p>\n
