To me, this sounds like a DS negotiation. "We'll give you what and who Horowitz gave up or was told to give up, if you drop the rest. Then what or who we have given up, Congress gets to decide their punishment."
And of course, we know what that will be…..a slap on the hand.
Now we know why the WH had those protocols. POTUS was baiting DS to make their move, but they were all ready for it.
Christ Jesus taught to pray to the Father, who is in Heaven.
'The meaning of "to pray" is "to ask".
Asking (praying) any other entity in Heaven to intercede is disobeying Christ, and opening one to demonic activity.
Even the Saints in the Scriptures to whom angels from Heaven were sent, did not themselves invoke those angels, never. The angels were sent by God. God was deciding to whom He would have His angels speak.
