7. Look at the letterhead & read the last two paragraphs; looks to me like Comer's officially representing the committee.

And yet the House just went into recess. If the House hadn't recessed, I wouldn't have questioned Comer's subpoena, but they have recessed, and so even with official stationery and Comer's signature here, something doesn't seem right about this.

I could speculate that this committee's going after information from Maxwell that contradicts the "deal" she might make with Blanche and Bondi, but then I'd be giving rethugs too much credit for getting to the truth about the felon.

I prefer to think they're just showing off so they won't lose votes in their districts over this congressional (and DOJ) coverup.
