Happy Thanksgiving. Got a subpoena from House Republicans. Im still happy to sit in the light and answer all questions. But I will resist a closed door thing because Ive seen enough of their selective leaking and distortion. Lets have a hearing and invite everyone to see.

(12,344 posts)Then Democrats can issue an open invitation for a public hearing.

(1,584 posts)They should ask for continuance. They can testify in January if necessary.

(4,341 posts)I am not a fan of Comey, but one has to agree that he is very intelligent and that his anger at the party he has supported is very high, his distaste for republicans I feel has reached a very high level, so yes lets have a public hearing, Comey will definately say things they don't want to hear and that will open many people's eyes to their treason.
They are likely to drop it if they can't do it behind closed doors.

(28,845 posts)I doubt if folks havent recognized the deplorabilabilness of this Administration by now, I doubt they will.
But I relish the idea of Comey going through the whole thing all over again in the open.

(4,341 posts)They are caged rats right now, and they are going to fight as hard as they can to free themselves from the place they've put themselves in.
January cannot come soon enough, these rats are thinking and planning on how to screw everything in their power, how to clean up the trail of crap they leave behind everywhere they walk, so from now to January this will be a fight and I hope the democrats have their eyes ans ears open to counteract the rats' actions.

(24,128 posts)They are trying on multiple fronts to shut down the Mueller investigation. This is just one of them.

(3,205 posts)...for shutting down the Mueller investigation. They'll fire Mueller, and release doctored transcripts of this hearing on the last day of this session. And then hope that the transcripts and the time in between congressional sessions will calm the firestorm over Mueller's firing. And if they're plan to sow division amongst the Dems, and cause a prolonged fight over the Speaker's Chair works, well so much the better, a little more time and distraction.

(3,428 posts)the Democratic Congress subpoenaed Karl Rove. The Congress cant send the Capitol police out to arrest someone for contempt, so Comey and Lynch can do the same thing and they wont suffer any consequences either.

both should insist on public hearings... then, they should let some little nuggets slip out about Trump and his crooks!

duforsure
(11,885 posts)They can release all documents from any hearings, or have them over again in public exposing their criminality, and go after them. If Mueller doesn't already have them all indicted for everything.
