Just take a page out of the Republican playbook and ignore the subpoena 🤷
He can line up behind Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan, Scott Perry, Andy Biggs and Mo Brooks .
Sorry, new phone. Who dis?

I'm sure Garland is classier than me. I would just send back a piece of paper with the date Gym Jordan was issued the subpoena he ignored written on it, and nothing else.
If I'm being held in contempt by the likes of Mike Johnson, Gym Jordan, Beetlejuice, and Marjie The Gross-Looking, then I know I'm doing something right.
Seriously. I'd be holding an award ceremony for myself. Maybe as a fundraiser to be donated to their opponents.
I'm no fan of Merrick Garland for all of the obvious reasons, but while I wholeheartedly disagree with the way he's handled multiple things, none of them rise to the standards where impeachment or contempt of congress is warranted.
I genuinely fucking love Merrick Garland and it confounds me that people have an issue with him. There may be some hindsight 20/20 wishful thinking about making things magically happen faster, but the guy is genuinely trying and did everything by the book; and in doing so, he ensures his own actions don't jeopardize the trial outcomes.
Most of the criticism comes from people who know not a fucking thing about the legal system.
I think people forget Garland was denied an appointment to the SCOTUS by the GOP as a nominee by Obama.
Because he hasn’t released the unredacted Mueller Report, right?
. . . Right?
I already read it and he's exonerated.
