House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy said that House Speaker Paul Ryan led a meeting with senior Justice Department and FBI officials Friday, and claimed he “made it very clear” the House will use “its full arsenal of constitutional weapons to gain compliance” on outstanding subpoenas.
“I don’t want the drama,” Gowdy said , adding that contempt of Congress is on the table. “I want the documents.”

Oh yeah meet sure
You will get only what your DOJ, FBI overlords choose to give you. And like it.
And I have a bridge to sell to anyone who thinks Gowdy is going to do anything.
It’s a bad day when Congress forfeits its powers of oversight of the federal government.
A sideshow — Gowdy is all talk, no action.
Yeah right Gowdy. All talk and no action from him. He showed his true colors when he decided to defend the deep state and give the left a talking point. A total yawner as a Congressman during the Benghazi hearings too. Loud voice maybe, but that’s all he’s got.
Tough talk from a do nothing lame duck/dead duck.
Hey Howdy Doody, we’ll believe you when you learn to comb your hair.
LMFAO!!!
Like what? A strongly-worded memo? Another useless “hearing”?
Gowdy, and his ilk, don’t have the gonads to do crap. Gutless wonders...they’re nothing but a legend in their own minds.
How about an opinion?
I’m sure they are shaking in their boots!
Nunes said on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo that the process is moving forward.
“We’re supposed to meet on Monday. Our staffs are supposed to meet on Monday. And all the subpoenas supposed are supposed to be complied with this week,” said the California Republican.
Nunes said today he was skeptical that he would see the DOJ and the FBI would comply with his demands.
“Now, I’m not sure. My confidence level is extremely low that DOJ and FBI are going to comply. I don’t have a lot of confidence,” Nunes said. “However, it was good that the speaker of the House was there and the other two committee chairmen to make sure the FBI and DOJ know they’ve been put on notice, that we’re won’t take no for an answer anymore and the subpoenas will be complied with.”
Shakespeare anticipated Gowdy when the Bard penned “full of sound and fury... signifying nothing.”
article reads....”Under the heading of minor miracles, you had members of the House working on a Friday night,” Gowdy said. “Paul Ryan led this meeting. You had [House Intelligence Committee Chairman] Devin Nunes, Bob Goodlatte, myself and everyone you can think of from the FBI and the DOJ, and we went item by item on both of those outstanding subpoenas.
Ooopsie. Somehow a computer glitch erased all the relevant files, and by an equally remarkable coincidence all storage media related to this case has been shredded as a matter of standard DOJ practice.
Chaff and countermeasures. Gowdy is a decoy, nothing more.
