Happy Thanksgiving. The lameduck GOP House Republicans are trying to get Comey and Lynch to appear for them in private, no doubt to selectively leak out negative information a la Nunes. Comey calls it an abuse of process and will challenge the subpoenas in court. How ridiculous.

Petty, mean, vindictive. Typical GOP. Glad to see Comey is fighting back. |
Comey is happy to testify in a full, open forum. |
Comey and Lynch can run the clock out on this one. |
Is that turkey in the oven? No just the smell of GOP desperation. |
That won’t work. How can the GOP leak negative information to the press out of context from a public hearing? |
The way Comey destroyed them last time, no wonder they want to do it in private. |
The GOP are so sleazy!!
This administration and its enablers are unbelievably corrupt. Politics is a rough business, but this goes beyond the pale. |
Judicial Watch has turned up quite a bit of information through subpoena, which is what the GOP wants to explore. |
So they can explore it in an open hearing. |
We'll see what ends up happening with that. The way the media rolls these days, I can see why they would want it to be a closed hearing. |
What? |
The media is not the issue here. It is the highly selective leaks by Congress that are distorting if not wrong. Comey and Lynch rightfully want to avoid those issues. Comey is more than capable of handling himself. He has been interviewed dozens of times by all sorts of media orgs, including Fox. Goolatte needs to move on. His son does not even support him. |
Judicial Watch? The group whose entire raison d'être is locking up Hillary? *snort* |
Judicial Watch has subpoena power now? |
