The judge wanted ask Husted face to face and ask him to explain why. Easy to make bold statements in the safety of his office. Much different to have to squirm and not have a reasonable reason to a federal judge
Now he has to explain why he failed his marching orders to the billionaire donors, oops, I mean Romney (ha-ha)
