Have Nadler send him a subpeona. That should do it.
Since when is he fired? They were keeping him on.
“Since when is he fired? They were keeping him on”
I thought I heard that as well about a month back.
His contract is unknown. He could have a personal behavior clause that has not triggered so therefore they pay him but write him out.
this solves a lot of problems.
there are surely people that are smart enough to realize he is likely guilty and is bad PR.
Julian Assange concurs.
