He'll be a no-show, like Don McGahn Stargleamer Oct 2022 #1

Professor Raskin explained tonight, if you read between the lines, why the subpoena.

He actually said, if he doesn't show he can be called a snowflake.

The real reason involves the J6 committee's final written report. The J6 committee is going to make assertions about Trump and if he disagrees all he has to do is show up for the subpoena and set the record straight,

I came up with reason #3, to get Merrick Garland's attention.

Trump will never show and I don't think the J6 committee expects him.
