I so wish a House committee would subpoena one mid-level attorney in the Office of Legal Counsel and then make an absolute example of them.

Cite them with contempt. Make them a household name. Put them in the spotlight. Go after their license.

And then subpoena the rest.

There aren’t a lot of people with the courage to be whistleblowers.

There also aren’t a lot of people with the courage to become public pariahs famous for tossing their reputation down the toilet for a shitty public sector job that would ruin their private sector future.

Ruin just one complicit little turd.

Drag them out of the anonymity of an org chart and right into the cover of every paper in the country.

Then cordially invite others to come in of their own accord or walk the plank too.

Send every single House Dem out to the microphones with the talking point:

“(Person X) has a duty to obey the law. They’ve chosen to break the law for a corrupt Donald J. Trump. Who is (Person X) and what are they hiding?”

Let the news trucks roll up on their lawn.

Let them encounter reporters at the place they get coffee.

Let them scramble to find an attorney and then worry how they’ll afford it.

Let their co-workers watch what that vise looks and feel likes.

And then ask them if they’d like a squeeze too.

Republicans have done that to every Dr. Blasey Ford.

Let’s see how much the corrupt little weasels like becoming household names for doing the opposite of Dr. Blasey Ford: refusing to face Congress.

Expose them. Drag them out into the public square.

It would only take one.
