Former FBI Director James Comey is sitting with the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees behind closed doors on Friday to answer (or not answer) their questions. Congress is investigating how FBI and DOJ handled the Hillary Clinton and Russia probes and, as you can imagine, Comey was one of the top witnesses on their list.
It doesn't seem to be going as planned. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) appeared to be most frustrated, explaining to the press that Comey came with two attorneys, one of whom has instructed his client to answer very few questions.

Exactly. /not shocked
I would think so, too. A witness under oath can't just refuse to answer unless they are taking the fifth (unless the Republicans' were unwilling to press the point).
Sessions was by far the biggest mistake Trump made.
As Obama’s FBI Director, Comey didn’t touch:
<><> Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch on the tarmac,
<><> IRS and Lois Lerner,
<><> Eric Holder and Obama’s Fast and Furious,
<><> Hillary and Benghazi,
<><> Susan Rice’s Benghazi lies, <><> The Clinton Foundation ad infinitum,
<><> The Clintons’ Uranium 1 Deal,
<><> Hillary’s private server,
<><> Susan Rice’s Unmasking,
<><> John Podesta’s Russian deals,
<><> Huma and Cheryl Mills’ self-serving activities at State.
<><> The missing $6 billion at Hillary’s State Dept,
<><> Huma’s cousin pigging out at the State Dept trough,
<><> Sid Blumenthal’s haul from the State Dept,
<><>Amb Joe Wilson (Valerie Plame’s hubby) helping himself to the State Dept cookie jar,
<><> Obama’s Foundation looting State of $100 million “to teach Muslim girls in Morocco,”
<><> Secy Hillary’s Millenium Challenge Corp slush fund.
<><> Obama and Hillary’s Third World mentality-— using the govt apparat against American citizens
<><> Obama removing WH govt electronic equipment to his residence
<><> Obama colluding with Hillary and Huma to remove boxes upon boxes of State Dept materials.

Eisenhower and his notifications of the industrial defense complex.
I think there was a lot of truth to that even though he probably sounded crazy to most of America at the time.
It’s gotten worse as government largesse moved into road building, feeding the population, wealth transfers through food stamps, SSI and welfare direct deposits then morphing into education and health care.
There are few segments of the American economy that doesn’t have large amounts of government spending or control over. All of those segments are buying and paying for your representatives lock stock and barrel.
The republicans let themselves get played by Comey....Again.
Same old story.
Watch what happens when some republican pulls the same trick on the democrats. Contempt charges will be flying.
Seriously, I would expect NOTHING from these people whether behind closed doors or in public. They will not go down in flames.
The inspector general’s report on the FBI’s probe of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server when she was secretary of state has already documented just how riddled the bureau was with bias against Donald Trump when he was the Republican candidate for president. Now, one conservative commentator is suggesting the report holds proof that the corruption went all the way to the top of the Justice Department. In a Twitter post last week, Paul Sperry, who has written extensively about the FBI in columns published by the New York Post, hinted that Inspector General Michael Horowitz could have solid grounds to show “obstruction” in the Clinton email case – by none other than former Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

===================================
(hat tip centurion316)------ Their fearless leader Obama had Democrats believing the propaganda: he was invincible, he could move the govt apparat against any American that stood in his way. Hillary would serve out his third term. Everything was in place. They’d destroy the Republican Party, and seize total power, power to be held in perpetuity. Operating as an organized criminal enterprise was encouraged. The problem: they were so cocksure of themselves, their criminal activities escalated before Hillary Clinton was scheduled to be declared the 2016 winner.
Trump's short presence in office shows the world how a republic should be governed. Trump's way differs dramatically with his accursed predecessors. Under the onerous reign of the Clintons and Obama, the US stumbled into the 21st Century.....these Democrat lamebrains fomented Islamic terrorism, destroyed the US economy, and entrapped us in the false hope of globalism. Typical know-nothing Democrats, Clinton and Obama made matters worse, with economic policies that stank to high heaven, by bailing out and nationalizing our big banks, by stupid discredited Democratism that relied on spending our way to oblivion.
Even more egregiously, the accursed Clinton and Obama unblinkingly forfeited US sovereignty, showering US riches on any stumblebum that managed to cross the border.

Comey’s confession: dossier not verified before, or after, FISA warrant
Gosh, I’m shocked...
I think I’m going to faint. /sar
Time to water board him.
On July 2nd 1787 at the Federal Convention, Gouverneur Morris argued the necessity of a legislative house for the wealthy. The proper security is to form the wealthy and the less-well-off into separate institutions, such that the two forces will check each other. Unless the wealthy are corralled in a house of their own, they will infest and soon dominate the popular branch. Morris: “Let the rich mix with the poor in a commercial country, and together they will establish an oligarchy.”
Morris was right, and the 17th Amendment enabled the Uniparty/Oligarchy.
Once senators represented the people, a body already represented in the House, there was greater congruence between voters and their representatives in congress, with corresponding less opportunity for input from the states. For reps in the House, the 17A diminished opposition to their constituencies, increased their power, and made their votes more important to progressive special interests.
Maybe I missed something but I thought DOJ and FBI lawyers advised him not to answer. I'm following this from Spain so maybe I got it wrong?
I really don’t see why this crook was allowed to have a DOJ attorney there representing him at our expense.
All Ass and No Cattle Gowdy did his duty as usual.
Interesting... I didn’t know that about Morris. Thanks.
The GOP is but a speed bump.
Ever since women were given the vote.
