2016 election. bob goodlat will order comeau too appear before the panel. the move is part of the republicans ongoing investigation into decisions surrounding the election. he s also expected to subpoena former attorney general loretta lynch. following the news of the expected subpoena, comey tweeted, house republicans can ask me anything they want but i want the american people to watch, so let s have a public hearing. truth is best served by transparency. let s talk about these potential subpoenas here. the timing of it, because they have been willing to answer questions before, they made that clear. but the timing of it now, knowing the republicans have it and then soon the democrats take over. what do they have to gain with that? it s just a matter of weeks.
he s gaslighting the american public. i didn t actually say what the tape says i said. we re confusing this why would he say something the tapes will immediately deny? why would rudy say something that makes him look like either a fool, a person of diminished capacity or complete flak? two options. one, he s doing what the president wants him to do. number two is make a fool of himself. he s creating a question as to whether comey s testimony is going to be viable, whether it ends up in front of a jury or in front of congress in an impeachment proceeding or in a report to congress. and the problem is there s a lot of other evidence that bears on obstruction of justice that s public. we don t know what mueller actually knows privately. we saw in the ken starr investigation i worked on the stuff that s in the public eye is very different from what is behind closed doors. back to the congressman, i have a sense from the beginning, i think a lot of us did, that the reason rob
her but it shows me even at this late date she doesn t understand what the investigation in her case was about. it was not about her use of a personal e-mail system. it was about communicating about classified topics on that system. melissa: joining me now is the president of judicial watch tom fitton. what do you make of this? when it comes to hillary clinton no corruptee goes unpunished. comey covered the e-mail crime for her and hillary clinton was unhappy with the way he talked about some of what she did and she is pushing back against him. there is irony because he did improperly use a private e-mail system to do some government business. on top of that he is being investigated for mishandling classified information like hillary was so they are two
system. she was warned by the national officials and the state department. we uncovered the documents. the d.o.j. covered the documents up and warned about the impact of using the private devices in terms of the security. and she was contemptuous of that. she called them the security hawks. even the latest tweet, you know, i m sure she is having fun at comey s expense. there is nothing fun about what she did. frankly she still faces criminal liability if the justice department and the f.b.i. are finally going to honestly approach this issue because we know the prior investigation had zero credibility and needs to be redone. melissa: so james comey, his response was that all he was doing is he would sit at home and write a speech for something he was supposed to do, something innocuous that contained no classified information. he did it at home and e-mail it in from the personal e-mail to work e-mail to have the work there later when he showed up.
about whether or not comey knew that he was communicati the new york times and the others. they are both pointing the fingers at each other. you have experience to give documents about who is telling the truth. what needs to be done there? what do you make of the mess? it is hard to tell who to believe. you can be sure that the leak was inappropriate. either of them want their fingerprints on it. so it explains that maybe both are pointing fingers in an inappropriate way or a way that is not credible at each other. again, this is the league that was inappropriate. mccabe says he has permission and comey says he wants no part of it. in defense of mccabe we know comey improperly leaked the f.b.i. records of the president of the united states. so again, mr. comey is the
