I too would not be able to mask my utter contempt for her and those like her, even if that contempt is illegal and in some extreme cases can be escalated to a felony.

Part of the problem is these politicians know absolutely nothing except that they have the power to do almost anything they want. They can throw you in jail for no reason other than they don't like you or the way you answered their question.
Most folks don't want to go to jail, especially at the hands of an imbecile like her.
