absolutely nowhere. richard what if there is no adjustment? it s going to be a private, you know, meeting? they ve been subpoenaed. there s the date. and if james comey and loretta lynch are no shows, than what? then they ll be potentially, fred, it s all hypothetical now so potentially they could do so many pro tem proceedings which will take 30 days to respond. what will that gain? nothing. the whole thing is a farce. the hypocrisy, the word of the trump administration, hypocrisy, it s like a legal issue i m talking. go ahead. it s this, they re upset at the way the department of justice handled the hillary clinton e-mail scandal with the private server why do you have to it s
behind closed doors. saying comey will only testify in the hearing is public. in an apparent parting shot. the house judiciary committee sent subpoenas to comey and former attorney general loretta lyn lynch. avery freeman joining us. and richard herman joining us from new orleans. good to see you both. happy thanksgiving weekend. richard, you first, so comey sent this tweet in a response to the subpoena, quote, 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 distorti distortion. let s have a hearing and invite everyone to see. can he force a public hearing? here are the conditions? fred, what s going to happen
first, taxpayers footing the bill for at least 50 open hearings on russia since the election. someone here says as long as were spending the taxpayers money, it s time to put former attorney general loretta lynch on the hot seat. one year ago she and bill clinton were seated on that plane. looking from a fresh perspective can make all the difference. it can provide what we call an unlock: a realization that often reveals a better path forward. at wells fargo, it s our expertise in finding this kind of insight that has lead us to become one of the largest investment and wealth management firms in the country. discover how we can help find your unlock.
refer to it as a matter, even diane feinstein said she should go in front of the judiciary committee. at the end of the day there is no comparison between russia s influence and trying to impact our democracy and bill clinton talking to loretta lynch for few minutes on the tarmac. if an investigation is called for, fine. i think she has made it clear that she is willing to come forward and share her information, but at the end of the day you are literally comparing apples and oranges and trying to compare the russia situation and their influence in our democratic process versus president clinton speaking to loretta lynch for a few minutes. dagen: gary b, it was a matter of days after that meeting in late june between lynch and clinton that james comey stepped up and said we are not going to recommend charges against hillary clinton. exactly. i m not sure i agree with adrian on the apples to oranges.
refer to investigation as a matter rather than investigation. we know he was on the plane on the tarmac and we have reports there was an e-mail sent from debbie wasserman schultz that implied there was assurance from the justice department that the clinton e-mail investigation was not going to go too far. the evidence is strong anditñ?ñn and clear her name if she did nothing wrong because right now it looks pretty bad. the attorney general who promised hope and change would come used her office to help the candidacy of the democrat. dagen: is it time to get to the bottom of this, john, and find out if they really just talked brexit. of course it s time to get to the bottom. putting congress in charge is like putting otis campbell of the andy griffith show in
