House Judiciary Committee to subpoena James Comey and Loretta Lynch

  It looks like the Republican-led lame duck session of the House is going to end with subpoenas issued to James Comey and Loretta Lynch in their email probes of Hillary Clinton’s email scandal and the FBI’s handling of the Russia probe if this story is true, here is more:

The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee, in its final days in power, is planning to issue subpoenas to former FBI Director James Comey and President Barack Obama’s attorney general Loretta Lynch, according to a source with knowledge of the subpoenas.

The source said the committee chairman, Republican Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, plans to issue the subpoenas on Monday for Comey to appear for a closed-door deposition on November 29 and for Lynch to appear on December 5. The interviews are part of the House Republican investigation into the FBI’s handling of the Clinton email probe and the Russia investigation.

  Chalk this up in “the little too late” or the “what difference does it make now” column as far as far as I am concerned. Why bother at this point? The Republicans have put on a front for two years and in my opinion this proves it. Now that they are headed out of power they decide to issue these subpoenas when they know the investigation is going to be dropped in the next session of the Congress?

  The Republicans never really wanted to get to the bottom of this because in the end they will always have the backs of the establishment but now they can say they tried and put the blame on the Democrats for ending the investigation.
