Comey NOT Cooperating with GOP Lawmakers, Refuses to Answer Questions in Closed-Door Interview
The former FBI Director fought the House subpoena; he wanted to testify in a public domain to avoid answering questions.
Comey’s lawyer sparred with general counsel for the House of Representatives last Friday and urged a judge to block a subpoena requiring him to give a closed-door deposition. Comey caved because he didn’t want to be held in contempt.
On Friday, Comey continued to fight like hell. He’s not cooperating with GOP lawmakers and refusing to answer certain questions.
FOX News Catherine Herridge reported that a DOJ attorney is telling Comey not to answer questions. They may have to call Comey back in for more questioning.

Madows: I think the holdup is twofold in why Rod Rosenstein has not come in. One is certainly with Rod Rosenstein & DoJ, but the other is quite frankly our side not being persistent & tenacious enough to get that done.I believe that we’ve got to do that before the end of the yr

Congressman Issa (R-CA) said: Comey is in there with two attorneys. One that’s from the DoJ has repeatedly, I would say at his gleeful acceptance, instructed that he will not be answering a great many questions that are clearly items at core of our investigation
Predictable!
So the DOJ is not representing the people. Just paid by them.
the swamp takes care of itself.
the tentacles of the Deep State have had thirty years to embed themselves into every layer of Fed.Gov
