... What I take umbrage in, is the blatant attempts to send a comeuppance to Volkswagen when domestic automakers have defrauded consumers with products that have resulted in confirmed deaths. ...

This shouldn't be surprising, grandstanding is pretty much all our Congress has done for the past decade, or longer...

I know that the grandstanding is common with the members of Congress; but,  what was most interesting was the commingling of the Republican base on that subcommittee with that of the far left.  There's one member of Congress on that subcommittee that is so far left, I refuse to call that member a Democrat.  That's what's unprecedented with what happened this morning.  Recall, that Michael Horn volunteered to meet before this subcommittee, so Volkswagen is proactively working on resolving this violation of the law.
