If Darrell Issa expected John Kerry to abide by a subpoena in the issue of e-mails withheld by the White House on Benghazi, the State Department wants to temper those expectations.

I laugh just thinking about how badly he would bollix it up - all the STUPID things he’d say.

[matchgirl]

Fine, we’ll call Hillary!

I would say to state, "NO! and the state dept can do without any money, including paychecks till Kerry shows up!"

They know that Kerry is too stupid to avoid making damning statements under oath.

They should change the name from State Department to Snots Department. They act like a bunch of arrogant little snots.

Subpoena Kerry’s sorry ass, Hillary and obammy too. If they don’t show then send in the Capitol police and arrest them.
