Secretary of State John Kerry will be on a previously scheduled trip to Mexico on May 21, the day hes been subpoenaed to appear before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to testify on Benghazi, a State Department spokeswoman said Monday. Deputy spokesperson Marie Harf said Kerry, who has been overseas, is aware of the subpoena, announced Friday by Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif. As weve said repeatedly, we were all surprised, quite frankly, that instead of working with us and reaching out to us and offering first an invitation to testify, that Chairman Issa jumped immediately to subpoenaing the secretary,

Then arrest him for contempt upon his return and throw him in the cellar jail.

Ordinary citizens who don’t show up for a jury duty notice can be fined or thrown in jail.
But this lying POS can skip town to avoid Congress?

After withholding documents demanded by Congress, which conceivably could be a criminal if not Contempt of Congress offense, Kerry's spokesperson is surprised his boss is getting a subpoena instead of a "kiss."
You and your party have been serving up hardballs and lies for years, Johnny-boy, it's time you faced some music and were accountable to the People's representatives, as the Constitution demands!

As weve said repeatedly, we were all surprised, quite frankly, that instead of working with us and reaching out to us and offering first an invitation to testify, that Chairman Issa jumped immediately to subpoenaing the secretary, It's obvious Issa did because he didn't want the committee to be stalled by Kerry, which is what he's doing anyway by conveniently (for Kerry) being away on the date he is to testify.

That's because Issa, and the rest of us as well, are tired of your BS and blundering.
Time to come clean JF'n. And yes, we remember that you "spent some time" (can't bring myself to write "served") in Viet Nam.

sub·poe·na /səˈpēnə/Law noun: subpoena; plural noun: subpoenas; noun: subpoena ad testificandum; plural noun: subpoena ad testificandums 1. a writ ordering a person to attend a court. "a subpoena may be issued to compel their attendance" verb: subpoena; 3rd person present: subpoenas; past tense: subpoenaed; past participle: subpoenaed; past tense: subpoena'd; past participle: subpoena'd; gerund or present participle: subpoenaing 1. summon (someone) with a subpoena. "the Queen is above the law and cannot be subpoenaed" A subpoena means: `We require your attendance'. It doesn't mean, `but only if it suits your schedule, or if you haven't made other plans, say, to watch the cliff divers in Acapulco,' (or) unless you would simply rather not because it might get your boss and maybe you in a whole s***-load of trouble'. It means you must attend or you're in trouble. Unless you're dead. Or a queen.

That’s why you have staff John F’ing Kerry, it’s called re-scheduling a conflict in an actual business environment. Have one of your over paid underlings pick up the phone and take care of business. You owe it to the people you work for . . . US!

The whole administration has nothing but contempt for America.
During one hearing, I remember one woman cutting short her testimony as ‘she had an appointment’. She was smirking as she left, knowing there wasn’t a damn thing anyone could do to her.

sub·poe·na /səˈpēnə/Law nounDerived from the Latin word sub; meaning underneath and the Latin word poena meaning penis.
Thus giving the word subpoena its true meaning of "They got you by the balls."
