This just in. GOP lawmaker Congressman Barton from Texas apologized to BP, at a hearing where BP is apologizing to Congress, and said that the $20 billion fund was pressured by Obama as a shakedown. Barton further says that such action is illegal and he himself would go to jail. Is this a right defense for the rule or law against an unlawful act by the President or a GOP political overreach with poor timing?
