#2 Better late than never, but we shall see what happens. Treason may be treason, but it's not illegal if you get away with it.

#5 Maybe it has prospered for those in the MSM, that's why we never hear it called such?

#7 Well, they are noted perjurers. Will they stick to their story?

Besoeker, if Barry heads to RSA, does Valerie go, too?

#8 Unless charges are handed down after this, it is all kabuki theater.

#9 Based on history, these people can:
1. Ignore the subpoena. They might be held in contempt of Congress, but who cares? Everybody holds Congress in contempt
2. Show up, but lie. Apparently there is no real penalty for lying to Congress
3. Answer every question with "I do not recall".

As Darth said, until people get led away in orange jumpsuits, this is all just kabuki.

#10 I'm not familiar with committee-ese:

Does "authorized" mean "actually issued"?
