...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.In a September 7 letter, the committee asked Randy Credico, a comedian and progressive political activist, to agree to a voluntary interview and to turn over his communications with Stone. Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and Vice Chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.) sent the request on Friday, as Credico testified about his relationship with Stone before a grand jury convened by Mueller in Washington, DC.

Credico tells Mother Jones he plans to decline to talk voluntarily with the Intelligence Committee, but will consider cooperating if the panel subpoenas him. Even then, he says, he might assert his Fifth Amendment rights to refuse to testify, according to his lawyer, Martin Stolar. Credico previously took the Fifth when the House Intelligence Committee subpoenaed him.

Stolar, Credico’s lawyer, told Mother Jones he is advising his client to decline the request because the Republican-controlled committee, he says, is bent on protecting Trump, and could pursue legal action against Credico in pursuit of that goal. “I don’t trust [Burr] and I don’t want to set Randy up to be charged with some kind of perjury even if he’s telling the truth,” Stolar says. “It’s kind of like the fix is in. They’re taking a line that is favorable to the president no matter what you tell them.”
“It’s a clown show,” he adds. “It’s a witch hunt.”
