GOP lawmaker: Top FBI officials will be subpoenaed

Source: Politico

A Republican on the House judiciary committee said Saturday he's gotten a commitment from committee chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) to subpoena top officials at the FBI and Justice Department in their ongoing inquiry into claims of bias against President Donald Trump.

Republicans have zeroed in on deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe, top counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok, FBI attorney Lisa Page, former associate deputy attorney general Bruce Ohr and his wife Nellie, who reportedly worked for Fusion GPS, the firm that compiled opposition research on Trump in 2016.

"Chairman Goodlatte has told us he is going to subpoena those individuals," said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), in an appearance on Fox News' "Justice with Judge Jeanine."

Goodlatte's office declined comment earlier this week when asked if he was considering issuing subpoenas to those agents.

I'm ready to bet big money they are tougher, more credible and more professional than whoever the House Judiciary Committee Rs can find to question them...remember the old advice for lawyers, never to ask a question when you don't know the answer? I think we will see the truth of that perfectly demonstrated.

Effing bozos.

Discredit the law institutions and substitute lawless ones, personally loyal to the traitor in charge and his master, Putin. Patriots will be denied across the board and political tests will be implemented and no left wingers allowed, only Nazi, KKK, etc.
