After I thought about it for a moment there was only one possible reaction to the Congress persons incoherent rambling response after the bank ceo told her what's up.

I'm ignorant on these congressional inquiries. What obligation does one have to go there, to answer stupid questions, and to be respectful? My answer to any stupid and malevolent questioning is some variation of 'tu madre'. I haven't watched the videos yet. I have a low tolerance for politics and other forms of lying and oppression.

If you don't go they will charge you with contempt of Congress. For example after investigating Steve Bannon for at least 5 years all they got him for was contempt of congress because he didn't go.

I consider it equal then. If they have contempt for me, I have contempt for them.
Just don't know how any of that is legal since it's not a court, and there isn't a charge of crime, and they aren't my peers.

The whole thing is stupid, because it's not contempt to "not remember". Therefore, if one doesn't want to be there, might as well let them stay home.
The only questions I'm willing to answer are those that one wants the answer to. If someone is telling me a question, the answer begins with go, and ends with yourself.

Where were you on 1985-09-19?
If you get called in front of Congress it's an opportunity to tell them WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE.
The whole speech is here: Dee Snider's PMRC Senate Hearing Speech (Full) Runs about 30 miutes.
edit: The pared down grrowed-up version from 2016:
Dee Snider acoustic We're Not Gonna Take It

It's a federal crime to lie to the U.S. Government.

Speaking Truth to Power is a Career Limiting Move (CLM). It's a fine line to walk.

It should be a fireable offense for the government to lie to the people. By fireable I mean firing squad.
