Congress can investigate private citizens to consider changing laws (interrogating baseball players to decide to revoke MBL's anti-trust exemption). They can do oversight on Exec Branch crimes/malfeasance (Iran-Contra, Benghazi). Private citizens' crimes is for DOJ/courts *only*. https://t.co/akjrjQ1lPZ — PolitiTweet.org

In 1957, the House Un-American Activities Committee subpoenaed a union member, then referred him for DOJ prosecution when he refused to answer questions about his associations with people they suspected of Communist insurrection plots. The SupCt said Congress exceeded its power: https://t.co/DB6LPDIf6G — PolitiTweet.org

@Mattyxy Congressional limits on Congressional investigative power don't change based on how noble you think the cause is, you fucking idiot. What's fascist is believing Congress can investigate the political acts of private citizens. — PolitiTweet.org
