Unsolicited advice to Rick Perry: Ricky, Ricky, Ricky! A subpoena means you are officially

about to enter Deep Shit. I am sure there is no shortage of "well-meaning" folks in the Trump regime who are even now advising you to defy the subpoena like the rest of the White House gang; you know--- "Be a team player!" and "There's safety in numbers!" and so on. You might want to consider this about the people giving you that advice: they are ALL going to prison.

Some might have warned you that Trump's former personal attorney betrayed him and he went to prison for THREE YEARS! But, Ricky, they are leaving an important word out of that account: the word "only" goes right before "three years".

Your conduct up to now may or may not mean prison time for you, but defying these subpoenas could be charged as obstruction of Congress. That IS a crime, Ricky; rhymes with "time".

If you want to have some chance of being on the street before you need a walker, you'd best be totally cooperative with the investigation.

If you're ok with dressing like everyone else, eating off a tray and using a cold stainless steel toilet, by all means, "hang with the gang". How'd that work for Manafort?
