Obviously, every little step is going to be like climbing Mount Everest in a snowstorm.
This is what slow-walking looks like:

Whiners gotta whineâŚ
âŚnot to mention the dogs that havenât barked
Like âNadler has not suggested subpoenaing Rosenstein. Or anyone from Muellerâs teamâ
Slow walking is also about not doing obvious stuff in a timely fashionâŚ
âI would assume not,â Nadler said when asked whether Mueller would publicly testify before the upcoming Memorial Day recess.
The chair of House Judiciary is reduced to making assumptions about who comes before his committee.
Mueller could just say, fuck it, Iâm going to testify and Donald Trump will literally have to arrest me to prevent that from happening.
