Subpoena him already. We know that once late July rolls around, he will just make another excuse not to testify as he has done so several times already. He is just stringing us along at this point.

You have good minds out there. Do something or the people will lose faith in you and yours.

Or, IOW, "Fool me once shame on you. Fool me numerous times, shame on me."

This gives him a month to get his story straight and produce an excuse for why he can't testify.

these same Dems. if these Dems are bloody useless, then the entire House of Reps is bloody useless. Which is a bigger problem not unlike the bloody useful (to Republicans) Senate and the Electoral College.

Barr will just lie and dodge when he eventually shows up, anyway.

he can be held in contempt of Congress.

Agreements are fine if he was an honorable man. He doesn't honor agreements.
He always kicks the can down the road.

But subpoenas don't mean anything to these traitors so he wasn't going to appear anyways.

And if he does, he won't say anything important either.

I don't give a damn if Barr testifies with a subpoena or without a subpoena today tomorrow or next month ...he's going to lie and evade anyway..but the justice department attorneys who are testifying ...that I do like..they're sticking very long very sharp knives into that gelatinous asshole...unambiguous first hand knowledge does a whole lot more harm than Barr sitting in a chair that's obviously too small for him while he spews "executive privilege" in front of the judiciary committee
