Shortly before the panel authorized subpoena power for its chairman, Snow warned, "You don't need a showdown here."

Snow said the offer to make the advisers available for interviews is generous and reasonable. He asked, "What's more important, the truth or a spectacle?"

Before the vote on the subpoenas, Conyers turned up his nose at the offer.

"Well, we could meet at the local pub to have that kind of a gathering. I love conversations, especially with veteran lawyers and people associated with the White House. It'd be a great conversation, but in my judgment, it would not advance us toward uncovering the simple truth in this matter," he said.

:crazy:
