Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee are debating subpoenaing Comey to compel his testimony.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) told The Hill that she and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the chairman of the committee, have discussed forcing Comey to appear before their panel.
“He asked me and I said I would,” said Feinstein, who made it clear that she would defer to Grassley on a timeline for the decision.
A spokesman for the Iowa Republican told The Hill that “no specific decisions on issuing subpoenas have been made at this time.”
“Senator Grassley is willing to consider issuing subpoenas in the course of the Judiciary Committee’s ongoing and bipartisan oversight,” the spokesman said.
The Judiciary Committee can subpoena an individual or information either when Feinstein and Grassley come to an agreement or if it's approved by a vote of the full committee, according to the committee’s rules.
But his refusal to meet with the Judiciary Committee is increasingly frustrating members of the panel, who have oversight over the FBI.
“I keep looking at Comey’s testimony about the FBI and thinking ‘Why isn’t this in the Senate Judiciary Committee?’” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Il.), a member of the committee, told The Hill.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) added that “at some point the Judiciary Committee has to decide whether it’s going to continue to be a serious committee any more.”

Sure, bring him every week until 2020. Why not!?
Grassley had been all over Comey before he was fired.
Bring in Hussein, Valjar, H0lder, H->!, Podesta and the Lyncher for a first round first.
I don’t know about you but I’m tired of this s***.
Yes very. I was being sarcastic.lol
Chasing ghosts and shadows of their own making at taxpayer expense. This is how public servants serve the public.
The senators will always opt for more TV time. For themselves.
They will keep bringing him back until he sez the Russians did it with trump, what a bunch of a##es
Because you honorable servants of the American people have been derelict in your duties, that is how come.
The more he talks the deeper the hole he digs. Just look at how much gold vwe got from this weeks testimony.
while ignoring the daily golden shower on the Constitution.
Comey saw hisself as a JEdgar type of guy that the rich, famous and powerful all feared.
The truth is this: Comey thinks he’s hot sh!t, but all he really is, is a cold turd.
MY President, DJT, will show this guy the exit. In a very humiliating way. In that I believe.
Comey won’t appear before the Judiciary Comm because he can’t release a statement to control the narrative on that one.
Bring in Lynch first so he has something to make a public released statement about. Then bring him in and get to the red meat. This should be fun.
Sen Grassley is one of the good guys. He’ll give Comey the grilling he needs, unlike the kid glove treatment he got before RINO Burr’s panel.
“I don’t know about you but I’m tired of this s***.”
So am I. Just over-loaded.
How exactly did he get the memo into the hands of the professor? He EMAILED it – therefore, subpoena his email accounts (all of them) and the professor’s email accounts.
My guess is you will find three important things (1) what leaks took place historically going back in time which may be years of leaks; and (2) who exactly the professor is leaking toward (NYTIMES by journalist name for example), and (3) then subpoena the journalists emails which may take years of court battles which would then yield the other leakers to those particular NYTIMES folks.
