“So, since the deadline is now past,”
The deadline hasn’t passed yet, it’s two hours from now, 10pm eastern time.
The letter says 5 pm.
This Committee has been extremely accommodating to your client. We want to hear Dr. Fords testimony and are prepared to accommodate many of your demands, including further delaying a hearing that is currently scheduled for Monday. We are unwilling to accommodate your unreasonable demands. Outside counsel may not dictate the terms under which Committee business will be conducted.
Please respond by 5:00 pm to accept the invitation for Dr. Ford to testify on Wednesday according to the terms outlined above. We will have to issue various Committee notices soon after, so timeliness is extremely important.
