What happens when Congress wants to hold someone in the Executive branch in criminal contempt? Well, a rift opens in the space-time continuum, because that same Executive branch you want to hold in criminal contempt is the Executive branch that has to prosecute that contempt. There’s no other way to do it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A rift in the space-time continuum<\/strong>? Really? That’s the best instance***** of exaggeration I’ve seen so far, and yes, there’s an implicit ouroboros <\/strong>therein.<\/p>\n

**<\/p>\n

And now I feel obliged to find a literary equivalent to that New Yorker<\/strong> header, to remove the taste of politics from our mouths with a pleasant DoubleQuote<\/strong>..<\/p>\n

Here we go — TS Eliot<\/strong>, no less:<\/p>\n

                                            Words strain,
\nCrack and sometimes break, under the burden,
\nUnder the tension, slip, slide, perish,
\nDecay with imprecision, will not stay in place,
\nWill not stay still.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
