After 99 bottles of beer, he can be charged with public intoxication ;)
IANAL, but shouldn't he either has to answer the questions, exercise his 5th amendment rights or face contempt charges. Otherwise who would care about testifying before congress. It's camp songs all around.

Boy howdy.

They need to get rid of all those Praetorian Guard wannabes ASAP!
