House Republicans are preparing to ask former FBI Director James Comey to testify as part of the Republican-led probe into the FBI and Justice Department handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
Comey's testimony, if he appeared, would raise the stakes of the joint Judiciary and Oversight Committee investigation into the decision not to charge the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee over classified emails on her private server and the rare step for Comey to publicly announce Clinton would not be charged as the probe has become a proxy battle on Capitol Hill between Democrats and Republicans over special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
Several Republicans told CNN that Comey is a key witness for the investigation, although it's not clear how soon he would be asked to testify.
"I think that would be essential," said Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican who has led a group of conservatives calling for Mueller to be fired. "We're going to have to find out from James Comey why the normal procedures were ignored in this case."

(8,592 posts)The republican leadership of this committee has just one question and we would like a clear response limited to a simple response:
Are you either
A) a traitor
or
B) you hate America
Which answer best fits your current position?
Stupid fucking white nationalist...I mean Republican...Party

(32,595 posts)his unethical comments in July about Hillary instead of sticking to the script on completed investigations.
Then they can ask about his need to run to the microphones and report the reopening of the investigation a few days before the election while holding back the information about the Trump investigation.
I would also ask him if he was behind the FBI report to the NY Times that there was no Trump investigation going on just a few days before the election even though they had been conducting one for months.
I would also like to know if he is behind suppressing activity of the investigation into Trump thus causing Steele to contact John McCain because the FBI did not seem to give a shit about the collusion with Russia.
I would also ask him why he felt it appropriate to release the Marc Rich documents just a couple of days before the election thus putting his thumb on the scale for Trump for the 4th or 5th time that we know of.
If I was Comey I would fear the Democrats way way more than the Republicans. He is a dirty Republican operative. Always has been, always will be.
F Him.
