The chief architect of the Trump Tower Moscow project, Felix Sater will finally testify before the House Intelligence Committee Tuesday after he was subpoenaed last month when he failed to voluntarily appear before the committee.
Sater told Politicothat he had an unexpected illness and accidentally slept through his alarm
and the dog ate his homework where he was reading up about the 5th amendment
Managed a business decades ago. Young workforce. I bought every hire an alarm clock, with a battery back-up. And I bought them spare batteries. I told them a storm knocking out electricity to their apartment was now not an excuse. Nor was not owning an alarm clock. And if their car wouldnât start call a cab, Iâd pay for it. And if they were ill go to a MedCheck and bring in the receipt from the visit, company medical paid for it. And I would pay their deductible
About a third of those told theyâd been hired would walk out after that discussion. Which was fine with me.
Iâm sick to death of the lack of cooperation across the board. I think subpoenas should be like bench warrants, issued as soon as failure to appear has occurred. No ups, no extras, no exceptions. You donât want a subpoena, think a subpoena is unnecessary? Then show up, donât waste the courtâs time. Screw you and the decorum you rode in on.
I cannot testify today because I had to bail my hooker out of jail at 3:45 AM and overslept because my servant forgot to set my alarm clock and besides my dog peed on my subpoena.
It gets better. Iâd tell each hire I was paying their first hour on the job to do nothing but watch me. Iâd get a mop bucket and cleaning supplies and take them to the restroom. Told them to watch. Iâd clean it top to bottom, so you could eat off the floors. Then I told them if they were ever told to clean the restrooms they knew exactly the standards I expected, they just watched me do it. And I told them if I ever heard them grumble to co-workers after being told to do it âI bet that asshole never cleaned a restroom in his lifeâ they must have mental issues, because they know damn good and well they watched me do just that on their first day on the job, and they were paid to do nothing but watch.
That usually caused another couple bails on day one.
