Felix Sater missed House committee interview because he overslept

[spanone]

What is this, fucking high school?????

(CNN)Former Donald Trump business associate Felix Sater did not appear behind closed doors before the House Intelligence Committee on Friday morning because he overslept after he took a sedative, Sater told CNN.

The House Intelligence Committee says it will issue a subpoena for Sater to appear before their panel after he failed to attend a prescheduled closed-door meeting.

Sater said the impact of the sedative was stronger than he anticipated. Sater's lawyer, Robert Wolf, had said earlier Friday his client could not appear for health reasons, but a spokesman for the committee said the panel would take action to compel him to testify.

"The Committee had scheduled a voluntary staff-level interview with Mr. Sater, but he did not show up this morning as agreed," the spokesman for the House Intelligence Committee said in a statement. "As a result, the Committee is issuing a subpoena to compel his testimony."

12. I believe this

I believe this like I believed Saddam's "Weapons of Mass Destruction" and Joe McCarthy's 205 communists in the State Department.

Next time, break down his door and wheel his sleeping form in on a gurney.

Except I doubt he was sleeping, and if it freaks out his mistress, well, she should keep better company next time.

14. Maybe if they arrested his ass for contempt and lying about it (i.e. "health reasons")

and he spent the night before next hearing in custody, he would be there as scheduled and not waste everyone's time. We're paying for this, after all. Lock him up!
