And it was great to see them all together today backing up the Chairman and speaking with one voice.

It's really very simple when you look at it closely and think it through logically, isn't it?

While the Representatives are going home, the Judiciary Committee will be in session. As per Nadler's press conference, McGahn will be subpoenaed early next week if he fails to agree to appear before the Committee.

The whole purpose of Nadler’s/the committee’s press conference was to get this message out to the public and the M$M (NBC Evening News at least - don’t know about ABC, CBS and I’m quite sure Faux) ignored it entirely.
