Comey refuses to answer bipartisan questions from senators, saying he's a private citizen

Comey refuses to answer bipartisan questions from senators, saying he's a private citizen
by John Solomon and Sara Carter

June 4, 2017

Former FBI director James Comey is formally refusing to answer questions submitted to him by a bipartisan group of senators, suggesting he no longer must do so as a private citizen.

Comey sent an email from his private account last week rebuffing the seven questions that had been submitted to him by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley and the committee’s ranking Democrat Dianne Feinstein after Comey’s final testimony as FBI director to the panel last month. Comey was fired by President Donald Trump shortly after his appearance.

The questions:

Quote
1. Did you discuss with anyone outside of the Justice Department any interactions you had with President Trump or President Obama regarding either the investigations of Trump associates' alleged connections with Russia or the Clinton email investigation? If so, with whom did you discuss those interactions, when, and why?

2. Did you create any memos about interactions you had during either the Obama or the Trump administrations with the Deputy Attorney General, the Attorney General, or the President regarding either the investigations of Trump associates' alleged connections with Russia or the Clinton email investigation? If so, to whom did you provide copies and when?
 
3. Have you discussed any such memos or their contents with anyone outside the Justice Department? If so, with whom, when, and why?

4. Did you discuss any such memos or their contents with anyone within the Justice Department? If so, with whom, when, and why?

5. Did you share copies of any such memos with anyone outside the Justice Department? If so, with whom, when, and why?

6. Did you retain copies of any such memos after leaving the FBI or otherwise maintain access to them? If so, please explain why.

7. If you retained copies or can access them, please provide all such memos that you created, memorializing interactions you had with Presidents Trump or Obama, Attorneys General Sessions or Lynch, and Deputy Attorneys General Rosenstein, Boente, or Yates regarding either the investigations of Trump associates' alleged connections with Russia or the Clinton email investigation.

No reason to refuse to answer them if you have nothing to hide.

This will never pass muster as the Dems set the precedence.

Well of course he's refusing to answer.   That's because he knows the answers will reveal the truth..... and the truth will do anything 'but' set him free...lol.  Subpoena him and let him plead the 5th.  (but they won't)

Yes, but he's going to answer only what he wants to, and in the way he wants to.

That attitude alone makes it obvious that Comey was NEVER fit to be FBI director.

He should know that his actions as FBI Director are forever and he cannot dismiss them simply because he was fired.

Unless, of course, he also wants to relinquish his pension and whatever severance pay he got.

Depends on who you are.  Congress is still waiting on Eric Holder to answer questions about Operation Fast and Furious after they issued him a subpoena.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

6. Did you retain copies of any such memos after leaving the FBI or otherwise maintain access to them? If so, please explain why.

That's something I hadn't thought of.  He's supposedly got these memos written by an FBI employee (him) after his conversation with trump, but he's not FBI anymore?
