I'll testify under a subpoena but I'm not responding to these pathetic accusations from a foreign power. Would be the same for the US, China, Italy, Argentina etc.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

Yeah - just keep in mind what that could mean for a future subpoena.

(as opposed to a simple letter stating a few simple facts - which will show that you are corroborating and something you can point to at a later date)
2022-02-14 15:04 Edward C. Holmes open

Yes, but the subpoena has no jurisdiction over me either.
2022-02-14 15:04 Kristian G. Andersen open

Correct - however, I don't know how that could affect future travel, grants, etc.

Yup, totally fair - and would probably also be my choice if it wasn't for the fact that I live in this banana republic.
2022-02-14 15:12 Edward C. Holmes open

Yes, you're in a different position
