House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) confirmed in a Friday statement that he has issued subpoenas for former FBI Director James Comey and former US Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
The subpoenas came early, as they were previously expected on November 29 and December 5, as reported by CNN‘s Manu Raju.
While Comey revealed his subpoena in a Thanksgiving tweet – stating he plans to resist a “closed door” testimony (during which confidential information could be discussed), Goodlatte’s confirmation is the first we have learned of Lynch’s order to appear.
Comey was ordered to appear on December 3 at 10:00 a.m., and Lynch on December 4 at 10:00 a.m. as well.
“The Committees have repeatedly requested to interview Mr. Comey and Ms. Lynch respectively regarding their roles in certain decisions, but they have yet to voluntarily appear,” reads the statement from the Judiciary Committee.

In October Comey rejected a request by the House Judiciary Committee to appear at a closed hearing as part of the GOP probe into allegations of political bias at the FBI and Department of Justice, according to Politico.
“Mr. Comey respectfully declines your request for a private interview,” said Comey’s attorney, David Kelly, in a response to the request.
The Judiciary Committee, chaired by Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) didn’t appreciate Comey’s response.
“We have invited Mr. Comey to come in for a transcribed interview and we are prepared to issue a subpoena to compel his appearance,” said a committee aide.

I guess this is better late than never, but Goodlatte should have been on this long before now. He’s just showing us all why the R’s lost the House.
Last time I saw legs like that I was looking under our dining room table!
"My feet are killing me, and my suit is three sizes too small for me."
These people will ignore the subpoena and there will be no consequences.
The shoes are those of a cartoon character.

I would ask if those words are reversed but I’d rather not insult pork.
Needless to say, DiGenova is disgusted with this kabuki show.
Ryan was the one who stopped it.
But will there be accountability?
“Ryan was the one who stopped it.”
Actually it was all of them, since they did not move to replace him months ago! Ryan is just the mouthpiece for a big chunk of the House GOP, all of whom want desperately to “get things back to normal,” which is to say with the RATs and RINOs running the show using big business’ money to line their pockets.
At least (FINALLY ) Kankles Klinton was persuaded by her handlers to stop wearing skirts. Her hideous kankles and flabby knees were so unsightly, they were an extreme distraction from anything she had to say.
Thankfully, she now hides her hideous legs and body under giant tent tunics and pants.
The Democrats will protect her. Now they will go after Republicans.
He wants the show. Putz.
I didn’t think that the human body could make calves that could pass for Popeye’s forearms.
You have a big, fat table?
I did not know they made shoes for clove hooves
Congestive heart failure usually helps things along in that respect.
Yeah.....good move....only her ugly face shows now.
GollyGee, I have seen many a pair of ‘Thunder Thighs’, but never before have I witnessed graphic “Thunder Calves”!
