House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte: We Want Brennan To Testify
2018-07-23
[Daily Caller] House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte confirmed to Fox News Channel’s Maria Bartiromo Sunday morning that his committee among others want former CIA Director John Brennan and other former Obama officials to testify before its members.
"We have lots of questions for John Brennan and he will definitely be sought by the Committees for an interview," Goodlatte said. "This is an extremely disturbing thing to see both he and James Comey, supposedly impartial government officials carrying out their jobs in very important areas in intelligence gathering and law enforcement, express the kind of extreme bias that they’ve shown now, which I think reflects quite accurately on what they were doing back in 2016."

Goodlatte went on to confirm that not only will Brennan and Comey be sought but also former Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch, whose meeting with President Bill Clinton on an Arizona tarmac during the 2016 election became scrutinized as it happened while his then-presidential candidate wife Hillary Clinton was under federal investigation.

The news comes as the FBI released over 400 pages of highly redacted FISA document applications relating to the surveillance of onetime foreign policy advisor Carter Page during the 2016 Trump campaign.

#6  if he ignores the subpeonas, they need to grow a pair. Clap him in irons and jail him for contempt.

#5  Brennan will most likely invoke one or all of the following:
1. Lie
2. Invoke the 5th
3. Say that's classified
4. Use the Hillary rope-a-dope of "I can't recall."
5. Ignore any subpoena and not show up.

#4  Congressional hearings have devolved into clown shows. With rare exceptions, all we ever get is a stream of laughable lies, or "I don't recall", or "the answer will harm national security" or the oldie but goodie taking the fifth, interspersed with political speeches. They may be good theater for some, but good governance they ain't.

#2  Thinking rental of an electric chair from Virginia, Florida or Alabama might be the best approach...

#1  If Brennan's cooperation is not forthcoming or is found to be deceptive, I strongly recommend enhanced interrogation techniques.
