Nunes secures deal for McCabe to testify December 19
Fox News ^ | 12.12.17 | Samuel Chamberlain

Posted on 12/12/2017 7:07:27 PM PST by SSS Two

Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe is set to appear before the House Intelligence Committee later this month after his previously scheduled appearance was scrapped due to what Justice Department officials called a last-minute "scheduling error."

Committee chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., told reporters that he was "extremely troubled" by the postponement of McCabe's testimony and called the Justice Department's "scheduling error" excuse "not really believable." Insight from Robert Driscoll, former Justice Department official who served as deputy assistant attorney general under President George W. Bush. Video Special counsel needed to probe DOJ-Fusion GPS?

"We have a commitment, again, that McCabe is going to show up next Tuesday [Dec. 19] at 2:00," Nunes said, "so we will be following up with letters ... if none of that is followed up with, then we will move forward with contempt and we will issue additional subpoenas."

[Paragraph 6] However, committee sources have said that they believe McCabe was dissuaded from appearing Tuesday after Fox News published a report Monday night on recently demoted Justice Department official Bruce Ohr. Ohr’s wife, Nellie, worked through last fall for Fusion GPS, which was behind the dossier. Nellie Ohr has written extensively on Russia-related subjects, but it is unclear whether she worked on the dossier.

"The security director for the FBI sent over [Monday] night at 7:23 the security clearance for Mr. McCabe," Nunes said, "so it seems like everyone in the building over there ... knew that Mr. McCabe was supposed to be here today. But they're blaming a scheduling snafu ... It would be a high level of incompetence for people that are normally pretty smart."

It’s called a subpoena. Issue one.

Keep a stack of blank Contempt citations right next to it.

The Congress is the people and how dare the JD refuse to testify. Clean out some cells in th e basement. We have plenty of vets who will volunteer for guard duty. Lock the traitors up until they talk. And build a gallows in the steps of the capital.

I am having a hard time figuring out what the purpose of this testimony is?

McCabe has already shown Congress what he thinks of their authority. Didn’t even show up.

McCabe, that’s who. When it broke last night that Ohr’s wife at Fusion was also a CIA employee, suddenly McCabe had a conflict and couldn’t testify today. It’s clear that he didn’t dare face the questions about that without meetings to cook up a story.

Agree with you. The nation will not be free unless these conspirators are imprisoned.

Frankly, I would love for McCabe to plead the Fifth; just like Michael Corleone in Godfather II, only McCabe is supposed to be on the side of the Law. The optics of an FBI deputy director pleading against testimony that “may tend to incriminate him” are fantastic. Of course, I would imagine that AG Sessions will pay it no attention or conclude that it will take a four year investigation while McCabe keeps his job.

People will die before the CIA / FBI/ NSA allow their activities to be made public.Congress knows what they do and how they do it. Congress appropriated all their facilities, equipment, training, and tools. Congress knows all that can be turned on them just like Trump. They will not rock the boat.

Didn’t Eric Holder get one of those? I am sure he is still quaking in his boots. He probably framed it, and hung it in his living room.

this is so much crappola.
Issue an order for him to appear. If he fails to show, have his sorry ass arrested.
Show some balls.
