When seeking to jail for contempt, you want to show the judge a clear documentary record that you’ve used every other option, accommodated the obstinate witness all you could, and jail is the only choice.
So, though I agree with most that subpoenas should have been issued sooner, and MUST come now, that is the reason for all the muhfuggin letters that try our patience. The letters, paradoxically, show a serious intent to jail the testimony-truants. They are like a ladder to jail.
I am impatient, just like the rest of us, but where I disagree is on the timing, not the larger strategy of ensuring that judges won’t feel like Dems rushed to judgment on a witness who was sincerely seeking an accommodation.
