Discussion: Confrontation Averted? Nadler Pens Muted Letter To Whitaker Ahead Of Hearing

But no promises about the subpoena dropping on February 9th…

This seems like a reasonable response. As much as we would all probably like to see any number of Trump administration clowns arrested, we should try to encourage cooperation as much as possible, and try to appear that we are avoiding purely partizan revenge. (Of course, we aren’t going to get cooperation, and should probably act under that assumption.) We shall see how this plays out. (He can always be arrested later, if appropriate.)

“…both during and after tomorrow’s hearing…”

Operative portion of letter.

Huge respect for Tierney bu the headline and lede don’t really quite capture it. Nadler’s previous subtext was “don’t fuck with us, you juice-head grifter”; Whit’s response was squealing (and legally illiterate) panic; Nadler’s comeback is “there, there, Popeye…it’s alllll…going to be alllll…right”–right before the hammer falls.

Is Emoluments Claus the mythical figure who comes down the chimney and steals back all the gifts you got as bribes from foreigners?

Sorry I should have added “off topic”. I watch TV, I hear things, I start wondering.

Me too.
And there’s a lotta off topic that happens around these parts.

If you write snark that is exactly what a wingnut would write you have to label it somehow as such or include some sort of giveaway. Unless of course you actually are a wingnut and are just making stuff up, not trying to be funny.
