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

Yep, Jimmy, we know you love the limelight.
“Mr. Comey respectfully declines your request for a private interview,” said Kelley. “He would, however, welcome the opportunity to testify at a public hearing.”
In a statement to Politico, Goodlatte’s office brushed aside the proposal and reiterated the committee stood ready to issue a subpoena if their request was not met.
“We have invited Mr. Comey to come in for a transcribed interview and we are prepared to issue a subpoena to compel his appearance,” a staffer for the House Judiciary Committee chair said.

Like him or hate him, I think he has a point. If he wants to do it in the open, why not? That eliminates a lot of he said she said, plus should be entertaining.
^^^This. The Communist Democratic party is evil (yes, evil) and the gutless Republicans haven’t done a thing to stop them and their agenda. President Trump has been the only counter to the dems.
USA is 21 T in debit. In light of this, I call on Israel to refuse American aid. Tell the American people they need relief from the debit and Israel is here to do it’s part.
It’s better late that never. It may have a bad taste but it’s a start. I’m not patting them on the back but forward motion is forward motion.
The only president in my life time to stand up to evil.
Totally agree. He is the only person in politics I have known that had everything to lose and yet he will not bend to power. I know he is no saint but I do believe he cares about America more so than any recent politician I can recall.
When Bill Clinton began to run to office I told my wife and a few people around me that he was a liar and a crook. “How do you know?” “Why, how can you say that?” I said I don’t but he sounds like a liar to me. I said I have friend that is basically a good guy but he will stretch reality, get in trouble, then tell you the real story. Small time friends is one thing. A POTUS is another.
I never got that vibe off Trump. Not that he’s an alter boy but I don’t think he would sell America down the river and I always thought Clinton would from the very first time I saw his face and heard him speak. I really was not all that into politics back then either.
I get where you are coming from on the REpublicans growing a pair though. But… they opened the door. We now have two choice. Bitch and moan about the past or ring the phones and blast teh emails and tell them it’s hammer time for Comey and Lynch. Show them no mercy. Get into the every nook and cranny of their lives.
It took the CUBS a while to win the world series. It was not a bad thing when they did.
I agree. Gowdy had a suggestion on Face the Nation today that they should video record Comey’s testimony, scrub for any classified information, then release the recording publicly so anyone can view it if they wish. While I agree it would potentially eliminate any grandstanding for the media, I see many suggesting it was selectively edited to hide more than just classified topics.
