Did the foot fairy come and fix his foot in the middle of the night?

He may have his subpoena pen ready, but it's sitting right next to the paper shredder.

and would be gone by July or some such time over the summer.

Elijah Cummings has been retweeting the Dem Oversight Committee members tweets this evening -




So if that subpoena goes through, it might be the first "document" that they finally get involving Flynn (even if it's Comey's notes).

Comey drafted the memo to create a paper trail, not so that it could sit unread. If the media now has it, it's because Comey released it. I'm sure he's as eager as the rest of us to plop it down directly in Congress' laps and to let them deal with it.

This time it damned sure better work out for the Democrats, or there will be pandemonium in the streets.
