Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, on Sunday said Donald Trump Jr. will publicly testify before the panel “this fall.”
“It will be this fall. I know that for sure. Things keep changing, not by design, but by just the press of other business on the committee,” Feinstein said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
She said “people have to be patient” with the panel’s investigation.
“It may take a long time. This could take a year, a year and a half, if not more,” Feinstein said.
“Your committee, the Senate Judiciary Committee, is having trouble getting in touch with President Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort,” Dana Bash asked Feinstein. “When will you and Chairman Grassley decide send him a subpoena?”
“We will likely do that,” Feinstein said, referring to herself and the panel’s chair Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), “if he refuses to come before the committee.”
Fall is 4:02 p.m. Friday, at least in D.C. So start boning up, Junior. Shit about to get real.
Giving people months to answer subpoenas will do that.
It’ll be interesting to see how he conducts himself with tough questions in the full glare of the tv cameras. As a spoiled, trust-fund baby who’s probably never had a real job outside the Trump family business, I suspect not well.
On the one hand I want this matter to be resolved sooner rather than later, but there is some measure of justice in the tension and uncertainty Donnie Sr., Jr., et al must be experiencing.
My first thought too, grab the calendar.
