Yes, that's the actual title. The subject is Nadler's propensity for issuing subpoenas which will provide maximum political benefit. Republican Doug Jones made an insightful comment on this practice:

That move has eninsured the witness will not testify. This is becoming a pattern. The chairman knew this when he sent the subpoena last month but instead of inviting him to testify voluntarily the chairman rushed to maximize headlines by issuing a subpoena. That subpoena was the third in just four months. More subpoenas than the prior chairman issued in six years. The chairman has several ways out here. He took none of them. The chairman could have invited the witness to testify voluntarily. That was the practice in the '90s when the White House's counsel testified before Congress.

The chairman launched a subpoena at the witness without any consultation or follow-up with the witness's lawyer. The chairman could have invited the witness to testify behind closed doors but that wouldn't have been politically expedient and you wouldn't have been here and the show wouldn't have been as exciting. Even gaveling in today's hearing without a witness is theatrical. The cameras love the spectacle. I just am glad today to see that we don't have chicken on the dais.

If Nadler is really serious, why doesn't he start filing lawsuits to get the information he is demanding? Why isn't he challenging the White House's claim of executive privilege? He just wants a fight. He doesn't want information.
