the subpoenas are too. blah, blah, blah, blah. Courts have said different but the whackjobs will stick with it until a new one comes up.

Or another conspiracy theory.

He's a journalist. If he said he volunteered, he would have lost his credibility as an unbiased journalist.

He's a journalist, not a government investigator. He needs to maintain a reputation of objectivity and impartiality.

according to the wing-nuts, if he's there under subpoena he's just telling them what they want to hear, and not the truth.

Is that about right?

I think that his most important contribution was that parking deck scene. The strong suggestion that the two extremists groups were coordinating. I just hope to hell that one of them can be solidly linked to the Trump organization.

Everywhere and everyone...

Including the Willard, and all their faces lounging and cavorting.

The Committee has him, so I know they got it all!


Did anyone catch the tweet from 1/6 from one of the white supremacists standing on the White House patio that morning and saying it looks like a beautiful day...or something to that effect?

I knew from that morning these scumbags were up to something, I wouldn't have guessed an insurrection, but at least the Losers failed. Now it's time for jail!

Answering a subpoena is the lawful thing to do. Just say "You're an idiot" and be done with it.
