Here's your quote.

"he criminal contempt of Congress statute does not apply to the President or presidential subordinates who assert executive privilege."

Answer -- Walter Dellinger, head of the Office of Legal Counsel at the Justice Department.

Under President Clinton, in 1995.

And so when Democrats object to the refusal of the Justice Department to undermine the President's use of executive privilege when they seek contempt charges against those who invoke that long-standing presidential authority, please remember that this has been official Justice Department policy for some time.

Unless you wish to finally confess that the husband of the current Democratic presidential front-runner also took us down a "lawless and unchecked path" during his time in office -- with the active support of your entire party apparatus.
