First that blasi Ford woman in the Cavanaugh hearing, now comey, seems like anyone who gets a subpoena from Congress now sets the terms by which they will honor it. It’s time for some US Marshals to go grab these turds just like they would one of us who ignored a subpoena.

Thank you for stating the bottom line. I have had enough of elites not having to live under the same rules as we do

He wants delay because he has a lot to hide.

And he knows that congress can hang him now. They know exactly what questions to ask him in regards to a whole lot of illegal activities he was involved in.

“Comey has previously said that he would welcome testifying in public but would fight the subpoena for a closed-door appearance”

YET, he had no problem with conducting closed-door testimony when it came to people he subpoenaed.

A delaying tactic. Just a tactic to delay the inevitable until he has a more friendly House Judiciary.

Why should a federal judge have anything to say about this???

It’s a delaying tactic. Should work too. Unfortunately.

He wants to do the same old. I cannot answer this question in public due to classification. Also T Gowdy said he surely didn’t question his Subjects in public.

Challenge it all he wants.

If he refuses to show, send Federal Marshals to DRAG his ass in there in handcuffs and leg irons.

What’s the problem. He can pick and choose what to leak in a closed-door session.

Here's a link to the "Motion and Memorandum in Support by James B. Comey to Quash the Congressional Subpoena."

In it Comey lists CNBC, CNN, The Hill, and the New York Times as "Other Authorities."

Snort, snort.

and, others to follow his testimony would already know what he said. Makes getting the stories aligned, much easier.

Just sayin’...

Let them videotape the interview behind close doors and edit the classified portions. Then air it on C-SPAN.
