You've got to make a personal decision: Which is more important?

I have issued you a subpoena.

But if a guy has been arrested in 43 States, he should not be eligible as a confidential informant, especially one highly paid. Zero credibility. That's disgraceful.

The Department of Justice just does not get to hide things from the United States Congress.
