author of about a million books. the most recent one evil geniuses. barbara, i want to start with you about this subpoena thing. we keep saying that it s a rubicon to cross for the this committee to decide they re going to subpoena a sitting member of congress. is that as big a deal as we think it is? not only is it unusual, but like what are the actual practical implications and consequences of that as we look at them? well, john, as a matter of professional courtesy, members of congress are always very careful about how they treat their fellow members. the idea of questioning a fellow member of congress was already kind of out there. subpoenaing a fellow member of congress may strike some as a bridge too far. but i think, you know, the time has come and gone for niceties. we saw what happened on january 6th.
