Fired FBI Director James Comey refused to appear before Congress on Monday to talk about his handling of the Clinton email investigation, and his fired deputy, Andrew McCabe, asserted his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination, Sen. Charles E. Grassley said. Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch also declined to show up for a major hearing where the Senate Judiciary Committee was looking into the inspector general’s report detailing major bungles in Mr. Comey’s handling of the Clinton investigation. Mr. Comey’s lawyer said he was out of the country — though Mr. Grassley, committee chairman, said he saw Mr. Comey was in Iowa over the weekend, visiting a key state in presidential campaigning. “He has time for book tours and television interview, but apparently no time to assist this committee,” said Mr. Grassley, an Iowa Republican. He said he had sought to compel the three to show up to testify, but Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat, blocked him. Under committee rules, the ranking Democrat must agree with the chairman in order to issue a subpoena. Copyright © 2018 The Washington Times, LLC. Click here for reprint permission.

Now what was it that
wise man of Congress was saying about instances where if one is innocent, they had better start acting like it . . . ?

That is enough right there to empower a special counsel to investigate Mueller’s entire operation. Go!

How about, 'crimes?' Sadly, for which no one, least of all, Rip Van Sessions, will prosecute.

That arrogant POS, Comey, is actually thinking about running for president.

That is Contempt of Congress. He could have shown-up and invoked his 5th amendment rights in-person. If he ignored a subpoena, lock him up.
