Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page has struck a deal to testify this week before Congress for a transcribed interview centered on her conduct during the 2016 presidential election, according to the head of the House Judiciary Committee.

Page, a close adviser to former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, is scheduled to appear for the interview on Friday at 1:30 p.m.

Lawmakers will then be able to continue their questioning the following week on Monday, July 16, according to a committee press release.

“Lisa Page has finally agreed to appear before the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees for a transcribed interview tomorrow," Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) said in a statement, calling the slated hearing "long overdue."

"As part of the Committees’ joint investigation into decisions made by the Justice Department in 2016, we have sought her testimony for seven months, ultimately resulting in a subpoena demanding her presence," Goodlatte's statement continues.

Page has become a top Republican target after the public revelation of critical Trump texts that she exchanged during the election with FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok, whom she was having an affair with at the time.

She will be testifying behind closed-doors one day after Strzok appeared for a contentious public hearing before the House Judiciary and House Oversight and Government Reform committees, which are conducting a joint investigation into FBI and DOJ decision-making during the 2016 election.

My guess is they negotiated a memorandum of understanding (MOU) so she's safe to testify.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Wanted to hear what her lover had to say first.

[Harpotoo]

Now she’ll just parrot everything that sneaky Pete said. Meh...

[DIRTYSECRET]

She was worried about what would happen if she didn’t. I’d ask her: Was it good?

[Lee25]

Regardless of her words, can we seat her with Peter side by side? This way we can confirm each other easily and the sight is lovely as well

[FrdmLvr]

Agrees?

[b4me]

ridiculous. our leaders need more backbone.

[treetopsandroofs]

“Wanted to hear what her lover had to say first.”

Has anyone EVER provided any evidence they were lovers?

[Red Badger]

DING! DING! DING! WE HAVE A WINNAH!......................

[blackdog]

Inside a Wal-Mart with a big pile of stones for whatever Wal Mart stench shoppers may want to do with them as she appears?

[Williams]

And the democrats are going to improperly release his private testimony so that she can read it before she testifies. Totally corrupt.

[ConservativeMind]

It’s amazing what a subpoena and a groups of US Marshals can do.

If Page is questioned 'behind closed doors', the committeeman can have unlimited time to ask her questions. If on camera and in an open setting, each committeeman is allowed only a few minutes of questioning. I would rather she be "interviewed" behind closed doors to begin with. I don't suppose Elijah will do little more than apologize for her inconvenience of having to be there.

[Red Badger]

They will probably let her listen to the tape...............

[nutmeg]

Exactly. She’s sitting back, taking lots of notes. These ‘RAT criminals always get away with their crimes. :-(

[Zathras]

Wasted effort and the GOP is being played as fools.

[blackdog]

Think about the productivity and revenues around the swamp lately among firms normally shaking down the whole globe. Right now they are their own customer and cost of sales. They have been employing thousands of former Obama - Bush- Clinton loyalists to go after one target. Trump.

Trump has effectively isolated them in purpose and intent. Trump is making them consume themselves.

[Intolerant in NJ]

And it’s the opinion of a lot on Fox that she dragged her feet long enough on coming to testify that now she’s been able to hear what Strzok had to say in his open testimony today, so that now she can adjust her testimony whenever she comes to fit his - monumental blunder by the ‘pubs.....

[BOBWADE]

I wish someone like Judicial Watch would do an FOIA request for their time sheets. They could not have possibly sent and received all of the texts on breaks or lunches. It would be interesting to see if either Lisa or Peter used personal leave or vacation time corresponding with their text activities. Failing to do so could be considered an act of fraud which victimized the taxpayers of America. It would really be funny if either of these partisan Hacks claimed any overtime while concentrating on texts instead of work.

She got the transcripts leaked so she can prepare?
