I believe the House Committee should question Christopher Steele but not behind closed doors...

...in public testimony. There's been enough hiding going on. It's time for a little sunshine.

But what are the odds that they would want to hear Christopher Steele in public?

The GOP wants to put him in jail.

I do not believe Grassley at all, just another fake distraction to protect Trump.

Steele is a British citizen, and therefore not under any obligation to answer any questions from either the House or Senate Committee!

And unless they can prove he committed a crime, Steele can tell them to go piss up a rope!!

Steele also has a hold card, as a former member of MI-6, it isn't very likely that the British will honor an extradition request from the US!

that Steele has already submitted to congress his (and Fusion GPS) SOGs used by them to determine the credibility of witness data and data compilation in general for reports to their customers. So any inquiry will be a matter of going thru the SODs and showing that they follow their own procedures.
