republicans, including the chairman of the committee bob goodlatte have insisted that it be a closed-door, however the timing of the subpoena has others questioning the republicans last-minute demands. the idea that the republicans took a pretty good hit in the midterms a few weeks ago and one of the reasons was that they were seen as not sufficiently conducting their oversights function, it seems like a bad move both politically and illegally. chairman good that is retiring and democrats will soon control the house judiciary committee. the subpoenas will be his final act as chairman. the current top democrat on the committee, jerry nadler, has reportedly said it s unfortunate that the outgoing majority was resorting to these tactics. his attorney confirmed the fbi director has been asked to appear on december 3rd while lynch reportedly has been asked to appear december 4th. eboni: thank you, lauren. leland?
