I'm not about to presume to speak for Tim, or his "friend," but I don't
think that's at all what was meant.
Having been on the business end of a couple of subpoenas, I believe I know
what was being referred to. If the Federales want me to go to, oh, let's
just say Tacoma, they can give me a cab to the airport and tickets and a
hotel. In advance.
It's not my job to advance money to the government, even though they make
me do so on a weekly basis. If my presence means that much to them, they
can by God(dess) make it happen on their own.
