Waiting for the Dems

It is getting very frustrating waiting for Democrats to actually act. They threaten they might hold Barr in contempt ... in a few days. They threaten subpoenas of information  (say from IRS staff) ... in a few days. They might institute perjury charges ... in a few days. They may issue subpoenas for Barr and Mueller to appear ... in a few days.

How many days will that be?

Why isn't Mueller subpoenaed right now? Now. Yes, he is supposedly still an employee of the Justice Dept. (such as it is under Barr) -- so? Subpoena him now and he has time to quit or even appear without quitting. Will he be prosecuted by Trump or Barr for appearing while technically still an employee? Will he be fired and lose his salary? Who cares? Let's have Mueller on the stand next Monday.

While Trump and his allies seize the moment, the Democrats will do something... in a few days. If Pelosi and Nadler and Schiff think Barr is a liar (which, of course, he surely is) what are they waiting for? In a few days, lies travel around the world many times.

Could we please have some action from the Hamlet-like Dems?
