federal appeals court is movin very quickly on alvin bragg appeal of yesterday s order by a trump appointed judge. saying that, mark pomerant does indeed have to testify to the house judiciary committee, although, pomerantz, the judge has said, could refuse t answer any questions he chos to refuse to answer. i think that is probabl what s going to happen pomerantz need some exposure hair, he wrote the book an he s been talking, a lot sometimes imprudently. i can see a court eventually ruling, you have got to show up but that might be an ant climax because he will show up it is clear he doesn t want to testify, and he can shut dow most of the questioning saying i can t reveal anythin confidential about the process then, jim jordan can try t take him to court and launch the whole long process and i don t think he will ge anywhere i think of having him across the table from him but i don t think he ll get lot of information
