Former FBI Director James Comey will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Sept. 30 about the bureau's investigation into Russia's election meddling and the Trump campaign, according to Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
“The day of reckoning is upon us. ... James Comey has agreed to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee,” Graham told Fox News. “He will be respectfully treated but asked hard questions.”
Graham said the committee staff is still negotiating with former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to try to get his testimony without a subpoena.
Former special counsel Robert Mueller has declined to testify before the committee about his approximately two-year investigation, Graham added.
Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee had pushed for Mueller to testify, arguing that if Republicans are going to probe the FBI’s Russia investigation and Mueller’s subsequent investigation, the former special counsel should be able to come and explain and defend his work to the committee.
Getting Comey to testify marks a step forward for Graham, who has pledged for months that he would force the former director to testify in September and has been under pressure from conservatives to move faster.

'Yeah, that's the ticket'
Can you go to jail if you lie to the FBI but not Congress or the Senate?
What, Mueller has phones to wipe that day?
“Mueller declined an invitation”
Stop being polite and nice! Subpoena these a-holes and bring them in in handcuffs if they refuse.
Only an A*S would make a statement like this. Day of Reckoning? Seriously?
IOW, Comey agrees to come in and make Lindsey look like a fool. Mueller declines.
Maybe Animal Planet can have a marathon while Comey is talking.
Weasels Of America
WTF? There ain’t gonna be any Perry Mason moment where Comey breaks down and confesses.
‘
Sally Yates lied to Congress earlier about the Surveillance of the Trump Campaign, a Felony, but when she came in front of Lindsey this year, he opened up by saying she was a person of honesty and integrity.
If you are expecting anything out of Lindsey Graham, you are going to be sadly mistaken.
It’s for a 30 clip - that’s it, Comey knows he’s safe, and, like Hillary, has most likely been told so.
This is theatre.

lol....I assume they meant he “respectfully” declined...
He's almost as senile as Sleepy Joe is......What a circus it would be.....
Just subpoena them all. What were the conditions under which Comey agreed to show up? Graham is a faker.
For Chrissakes, make an arrest, get an indictment and then subpoena all of them.
Graham must be up for re-election this year ...
This is theatre.
EXACTLY! Where have we seen this bad Kabuki before. Linda & jimmiecommie are laughing at us. Where’s Billy? Practicing the pipes while cities burn, police die, citizens live in fear in the kill zones.
XXXX # of citizens should shadow each “rep”. It’s one non-violent way to stop this nonsense called “representative” government.

I have an article from May 03, 2017 when Graham says he’s urgently calling Comey to explain his part (in the coup).
Fast Forward 3.5 yrs....

Respectfully treated? Why? What has he done to deserve respect, besides lie, commit treason and create a secret police to control politicians? When have Democrats ever treated a truly distinguished Republican with respect? Bill Barr in the House? Kavanaugh?
Linda, they own you, so you are nice to them.
I doubt he will be telling the truth. It will be a Trump bash-fest.
“I don’t remember”
“The dog ate my homework”
“Linda, you dating anyone right now?”
I wonder if Graham knows Andrew Gillum?
