Related: About this forumSenate Democrats want answers by Monday from Comey AND Lynch
Stressing their concern that Comeys investigation was already being misused for political purposes, Sens. Tom Carper (D-Del.) and Ben Cardin (D-Md.), as well as the top two Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee ― Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) ― asked both Comey and Attorney General Loretta Lynch to provide more detailed information about the investigative steps that are being taken, the number of emails involved, and what is being done to determine how many of the emails are duplicative of those already reviewed by the FBI.
The Senators requested that they provide updated information no later than Monday, October 31, 2016.

Divine Discontent
(21,056 posts)so the Dems better be utterly ruthless about this Monday - I mean demanding answers and calling out who needs called out as being disruptive to the election process on behalf of Donald! We cannot have our hearts ripped out by seeing him win by a few electoral votes because of everything the GOP already does to stifle turnout, that we know and don't know about, being added to this clusterfu*k!

(26,045 posts)As the minority party, Senate Democrats lack the authority to issue subpoenas. Comey can just blow them off with no repercussions.

(67,112 posts)with the posed questions. He can't hide from this. It will be a significant time documented in history. His actions, right or wrong, require significantly more elaboration and ASAP.

(7,004 posts)they can still discuss it with a presser. They can ask all the questions and give out all the info we already know.
They need to keep our side of the story in the news. Everybody already knows Hillary's positions on the issues so at each early voting rally, this needs to be hit hard and blown wide open.
