4. Absolutely!

Play hardball!

15. They do indeed need prep timae

Congressional testimony isn't a urine screen.

[SheltieLover]

16. Absolutely! THEY ARE OUR EMPLOYEES!

He better straighten this shit out AND PAY TO REPLACE MACHINES HE DESTROYED! 🤬

5. It's not two weeks, it's one week. And they can't do it any sooner than that.

House rules require 7 days notice of any hearing.

They also need to have time to prepare for it - this is going to take a lot of research, preparation, and coordination. They can't just tee up a hearing for the next day and wing it. One week is a REALLY quick turnaround for any hearing, especially a hearing of this importance.

It's also good that it's not happening in the middle of the Democratic convention, thereby stomping all over Joe Biden. Better to do it on the first day of the Republican convention.

6. It's always a pleasure when someone weighs in with facts

and cogent strategy.

8. I do my best ...

14. Thank you

Thank you thank you

3. Subpoena & lock him up if he isn't willing!

Why such deference to these mobsters? 🤬

[Grasswire2]

7. Subpoena him NOW.

It took six months to get Barr under oath.

Drop the subpoena on him NOW, with 24 hours to show up to answer questions.

Act as if the republic is at risk.

Because it is.

[StarfishSaver]

9. No court will enforce a subpoena with 24-hour notice

Moreover, as I noted upthread, all hearings require at least 7 days notice.

We really need to stop assuming that Pelosi and the House Dems don't know what they're doing or that they have less understanding of the urgency than we do.

[Grasswire2]

10. If the people don't light a fire on social media..

...it could be a freaking six months to get him under oath, as it was with Barr.

I don't know if you watch twitter, but there's a raging firestorm demanding action.

[StarfishSaver]

11. It would be good if those "demanding action" on Twitter bothered to learn the facts and the rules

before they started their firestorms.

[SheltieLover]

17. Subpoena now for 8/24

Maybe they have, but stories I've seen say they "invited him."

Invites are for parties and honorable people, not putin scum.

[StarfishSaver]

19. A court won't enforce a subpoena that wasn't preceded by an invitation and an effort to get the

witness to appear voluntarily.

People often disparage the "strongly worded letters," but they aren't sent because the House wants to be polite. They are an absolute prerequisite before a court will even consider getting involved.

[SheltieLover]

21. Ty for explaining!

Blood pressure back to normal. Tyvvvm!

[StarfishSaver]

22. Glad to help!

[SheltieLover]

23. Most appreciated!

I've bn fuming all day! 😳

[SheltieLover]

24. "Strongly worded letter"

Sounds a lot like Susan Collins' "concern." 😳

Would you pls considering doing a GD post to explain before others blow a gasket? Ty again!

[SheltieLover]

18. Absolutely!

How dare they! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

And what did putin direct them to do next?

[AmyStrange]

20. They're gonna RELEASE the KRAKEN!!

-

YAY!!!
