DK follows up with the story that the Justice Department, which has a number of potential prosecutions pending in relation to Cunningham, is resisting efforts by House Intel Chair Pete Hoekstra to interview Cunningham in advance of these possible cases. So Hoekstra is considering subpoenaing Cunningham. Which could - purely by coincidence of course - seriously screw up the DoJ cases.
