11. I'm thinking he's using it as cover to protect himself from the MAGA cult.

These are the same people who tried to kill him, and he can't have himself looking like he wants to help take out Dear Leader. Ultimately, I believe he will give up his subpoena fight, but not without a "They're making me do it" act. He wants Trump gone as much as everyone else, but it's not in his interest to let Trump's fan club know that.

I agree. He lost them when he presided over the count of the electoral vote. patphil Feb 2023 #14
