Comey refuses to testify to Congress, McCabe pleads Fifth Amendment: Grassley
« on: June 18, 2018, 08:06:16 pm »
 By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Monday, June 18, 2018

Fired FBI Director James Comey refused to appear before Congress on Monday to talk about his handling of the Clinton email investigation, and his fired deputy, Andrew McCabe, asserted his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination, Sen. Charles E. Grassley said.

Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch also declined to show up for a major hearing where the Senate Judiciary Committee was looking into the inspector general’s report detailing major bungles in Mr. Comey’s handling of the Clinton investigation.

Mr. Comey’s lawyer said he was out of the country — though Mr. Grassley, committee chairman, said he saw Mr. Comey was in Iowa over the weekend, visiting a key state in presidential campaigning.

“He has time for book tours and television interview, but apparently no time to assist this committee,” said Mr. Grassley, an Iowa Republican.

He said he had sought to compel the three to show up to testify, but Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat, blocked him. Under committee rules, the ranking Democrat must agree with the chairman in order to issue a subpoena.

Hijacking this for a moment to say that if you missed the senate judiciary committee hearing today you missed a hell of a lot!

I watched it from beginning to end on the fox news channel.  Unfortunately due to a recent medical procedure I lack the ability to report it adequately but it was most informative.

Had to miss it.  That ugly 4-letter word has reared its head:  Work.  :nometalk:

Committee rules, eh?   So, do they tie their own hands via these ""rules"" deliberately so they can't achieve any accountability?  Methinks they do.
