1. John Conyers just kicked Stephen Colbert out of the meeting.

This was extremely rude and disrespectful.

I called Conyers' office and spoke to his aide, who says he has no idea why he did this.

I pointed-out that Conyers can't manage to get people to testify when he has a legally enforceable subpoena, yet when someone voluntarily shows-up, they get KICKED OUT!?!

Fuck you, Johnny Letter!

3. Kicked him out?

9. Conyers requested that he leave and just file a written statement

The chair overrode him.

4. I liked Colbert's reply

He basically said "I'm here on her invitation so I'll leave is she says so" :)

6. Which would make sense, except Conyers is chairman and has final say.

It was a real Mr. Smith Goes To Washington moment.

A regular Everyman who just wants to do the right thing, but doesn't know the inner workings of all this DC crap.

5. He's still sitting there

at the end of the witness table.

7. Maybe they let him back in the room, but I don't know if they're going to let him testify.

Call Johnny Letters' office and be outraged enough, maybe they'll let him testify.

8. The chair overrode his request. Colbert will testify in a few minutes.

Likely happened while you were on the phone.
