Former FBI Director James Comeys lawyers have prevented him from answering a number of questions during Fridays closed-door testimony before House lawmakers, according to a lawmaker in the room.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., told reporters that some lawmakers have been frustrated with the testimony so far and that Comey didnt seem upset about being told by his lawyers that he doesnt have to answer certain questions.
"One of the disappointments of this deposition so far has been the amount of times in which the FBI believes that Congress doesnt have a right to know," Issa said.
Issa said Comey has two attorneys, including one from the DOJ, who have instructed the former FBI director not to answer a great many questions that are clearly items at the core of our investigation. Issa said the instructions have been followed with Comeys gleeful acceptance.
"The Department of Justice is going to have to agree to allow him to come back and answer a great many questions that currently he is not answering," Issa said.
Comey, who may publicly speak at some point Friday, initially fought the committees subpoena to appear in court but finally forged an agreement to appear. The committee is expected to release a transcript of the interview, perhaps as early as Saturday.

I imagine it is because at the time of the events in question that Comey worked at the FBI - Manafort and Corsi never did.
Not saying that Comey should have a gov’t lawyer but rather the reason ..... er .... excuse the deep state would use.
BINGO!! WHY the HELL is a Daiding Comey?OJ lawyer (paid by US)
We just had a former President die and this week was dedicated to him. Show some common sense here. 7 people related to the Clinton foundation have had their indictments announced.
You think I'm just talking about just one week? You show some common sense, instead of thinking it's always one week away.
7 people related to the Clinton foundation have had their indictments announced.
The three or four I just read about had no direct connection to the Clinton Foundation. Notice how that story is no longer in breaking news.
I’m not thinking its a week away I know it. Follow John Solomon he has been telling it. What you read about those folks is cover BS those 3 turds from VA are Clinton Foundation clean and sure. The four from Panama is too. It’s not what you read but who you know at this point.
Those lawyers should also be arrested on conspiracy charges.
