Feinstein: Democrats will support subpoenaing Comey
The Hill ^ | 16 June 2017 7:21pm EDT | Jordain Carney

Posted on 06/16/2017 1:52:52 AM PDT by blueplum

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said Democrats on the Judiciary Committee will support subpoenaing James Comey to testify if needed, arguing it is crucial for the former FBI director come before the panel.  Feinstein sent a letter Thursday to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the chairman of the committee, saying they are on the same page about the need for Comey to testify before their committee, which has oversight of the FBI.    "We unanimously believe that Director Comey should testify before our Committee regarding serious concerns that have been raised about political interference with FBI investigations and possible obstruction of justice. ... Be assured my Democratic colleagues are supportive of issuing a subpoena should it become necessary," Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, wrote.

Comey had previously declined appearing before the Judiciary committee in favor of a prepared appearance before the Intel committee. Feinstein is not amused.

Feinstein sent a letter

Wonder if congress has heard of email? I haven't sent someone a letter in a professional setting in nearly 30 years.

Note that the Judiciary Committee is the actual oversight body for the DOJ and FBI. Other subjects fall other under committees. Anyone who thinks Chairman Grassley will allow this Committee to get out of control hasn’t been paying attention.

It’s too bad all these hearings are scripted, as Grassley’s nearly eidetic memory makes him formidable in unscripted q and a.

A letter is a safer bet. An e-mail can be “messed with.”

They still do not get it. They still trying to play their swamp games to “get Trump”. almost 2 years later they still have not figured out they aren’t going to “get Trump” but they are destroying themselves.

What they are doing is keeping Trumps base engaged and engaged. Democrats are going to be a high price in 2018 for this idiocy.

Another thing being overlooked here.

It entirely possible Feinstein, and the Dems, are planning to use this to fatally wound the Clintons politically.

Elizabeth Warren, a Feinstein pal, is making noises of running for President in 2020. It is possible Feinstein has similar ambitions.

This may just be a move by the Dems to clear the Clintons out of the way for 2020.
