WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — Former FBI Director James Comey on Friday said that he did not know if Democrats could obtain an unredacted copy of the Mueller report with a subpoena if the Department of Justice declined to release it. "I'm sure they can subpoena. They definitely can issue subpoenas for anything they want to the Department of Justice. Whether the department will compel, will abide an order to compel, if they resist that, I don't know where that ends up," he said. But Comey said he hoped that a subpoena would not be necessary. "There is a lot of transparency that is possible under the law. And so, that's my answer. I'm not sure about the can. I hope they don't get to that," he said.

“There is a lot of transparency that is possible under the law.

If that was really true you would be in prison by now.

Comey is a weasel.

The only thing he knows how to do is groom his whiskers.

Only conservatives have to honor subpoenas. Deep State officials can ignore them. Under Ryan ignoring a subpoena was no big thing. Under Pelosie ignoring one could be a capital crime.

Perhaps the day will come when the opinions of James Comey will be relayed through a telephone from the other side of a bulletproof glass barrier.

These crapweasels believe that they are actually an independent entity. The president and the AG can declassify and order the release of the full documents anytime they want.

The FBI falls under the DOJ and the DOJ belongs to the executive branch.

I truly believe that liberals become lawyers to either learn how use the law to push their agendas or to learn how to get around the law. Their ultimate goal is not to enforce laws or to help others by the use of the law. The only benefit they see is if the people who may benefit happen to fall within their agenda. For instance,we have existing gun laws that liberal lawyers are not interested in enforcing. Rather they will use gun violence victims and the law to attempt to enact their agenda of control of others.

I second that.

I would also say that most people in the field of clinical psychology as mentally ill and are mostly trying to find out why they are so crazy; they care rather less about why you might be crazy.

A lot of people in the "helping professions" are just out for themselves. Ayn Rand got that part right.

The only subpoena that comey should worry about, is the one that sends his ass to the Virginia Grand Jury for his illegal activity. I am hopeful that Barr will be a real AG and clean up this corrupt fbi and doj by sending about 8-12 of these sonsofbitches to the slammer.

If that doesn't happen, the US will be entering it's death throes in half the time that it took the Roman Empire to collapse.

While there may be some armed resistance, with no moral compass within the gummint structure, other than a complete revolution, including mass death and destruction...well I'm glad I'm in the fourth quarter.

The All-Knowing Comey has left the room.

Sounds like his attorneys have told him to shut up.

Why not release it? It sounds like a nothingburger.
