Just picture that scene from Tombstone if Billy Bob Thornton had tried to skin his six gun! :)
Stop talking, and just do it!

What *IS* the protocol for these subpoenas? I have yet to hear/read/see ONE
1) show up as expected
2) be sworn in
3) Read a quick summary telling ‘em to ESAD
4) walk the fark out
IMO, whomever did that would CAKE-WALK in the next election (should be decide to run).
