Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) says he’ll issue subpoenas for former FBI Director James Comey and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, but the panel’s top Democrat Dianne Feinstein (CA) has to agree to it per committee rules. Grassley also said he would be open to exploring immunity for Comey’s former #2, Andrew McCabe.
“I will want to subpoena him,” Grassley said of Comey during an appearance on C-SPAN’s Newsmakers.”
The Iowan added that committee rules require that he and Feinstein “agree to it, and at this point I can’t tell you if she would agree to it. But if she will, yeah, then we will subpoena.” –Politico
Feinstein may be hesitant to sign on, as she says she thinks Comey acted in good faith – which means she thinks Congress shouldn’t have a crack at questioning a key figure in the largest political scandal in modern history.
“While I disagree with his actions, I have seen no evidence that Mr. Comey acted in bad faith or that he lied about any of his actions,” said Feinstein during a Monday Judiciary panel hearing. Former Feinstein staffer and FBI investigator Dan Jones, meanwhile, continues to work with Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS on a $50 million investigation privately funded by George Soros and other “wealthy donors” to continue the investigation into Donald Trump.
Also recall that Feinstein leaked Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson’s Congressional testimony in January.
Comey skipped out on appearing before Grassley’s committee this week following the June 14 release of DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s (OIG) report on FBI conduct during the Hillary Clinton email investigation – which dinged Comey for being “insubordinate” and showing poor judgement. Horowitz is conducting a separate investigation into the FBI’s counterintelligence operation on the Trump campaign, including allegations of FISA...

Comey is still attempting to sell his steaming pile of offal abroad. He was on London radio today and they were eating it up.
Then change the committee rules. You can.
“Dianne Feinstein (CA) has to agree to it per committee rules”
So change the f*cking rules! These feckless turds continually hide behind obstructive rules. Time for them to go so we can get at the truth.
If McCabe has info that will sink the whole rotten bunch of them, including Obungo, I say give him immunity and anything else he wants.
Obvious something is wrong with the rules.
I want indictments, not Congressional subpoenas.
And you'd have to be an idiot if you didn't think he acted in bad faith.
Unless? Really. Difi be an assclown? Some things get better with age. Her, not so much.
German radio will love him too... Anyone who hates our country will kiss Comey’s ring.
Put Rob Kallstrom in Wray's spot and put Tom Fitton in Jeff Session's spot. DiGenova in Rod's spot.
Feinstein needs to be in the old hags’ home.
“”””I want indictments, not Congressional subpoenas.”””””
Prezackly. These Congressional hearing never go anywhere anyway. Huff and puff and then.........fizzle away.

Big surprise. If she ever saw the truth, methinks she would be vaporized into a flash of fire and smoke by the Good Forces and be banished from the Earth. With any luck, Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi will be at her side.
Man, how can so many voters in one state be so damn stupid?
The Party says protect wrongdoers.
She’s not going to agree to that.
Delay, obstruct, obfuscate.
Make sure Feinstein has a bad cold first before she makes a statement. She’ll say ‘YES, go ahead’..
“... I have seen no evidence that Mr. Comey acted in bad faith or that he lied about any of his actions,”
Then, by liberal “logic”, if he has nothing to hide, he should not fear questioning.
DiFi and hubby are as slimy as anyone in The Swamp getting rich over shady government contracts. She’s the last person who would want Comey and Lynch to testify!
