Comey refuses to testify to Congress, McCabe pleads Fifth Amendment: Grassley

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.

then what should we do?

Form regiments and secede.

I have no idea what to do. We have many traitors in our midst.

Prayer #1. Only the Lord change change things impossible for men to change.

Meanwhile, I expect more from the Unparty all the way to November.

I can assure you the most far-left liberals at Yahoo are stark raving mad.

Gee, I wonder why Comey and McCabe refuse to testify. I wonder what they might have done that is wrong and might slip out.

Re Post 22: It would have been easier for Michael Corleone and Franky “Two Shoes” if they had known that about Congress in Godfather II.

Our country cannot go on like this. The rule of law matters, and the rule of law does not have exceptions that exempt preferred people and groups. We have tolerated this abomination long enough – it has to stop. Either the elite rediscovers its sense of duty and service and stops it, or we will stop it. Donald Trump is our latest attempt to do that. If he is unable to do so, the elite is really going to hate what we try next.

Comey refuses? Drag him in to the hearing in cuffs

Congress is not an investigative, prosecutorial, or judicial body.
