Michael Horowitz and Christopher Wray are about to testify before OGR and HJC. Today's hearing will be FAR more contentious than yesterday's. I'm thinking of it as "The Fight for Trey Gowdy's Soul."

Part of the reason I say that is explained here: the GOP has issued new extortion demands of Wray and Rosenstein, including what would be grand jury material. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/06/17/in-attempt-to-learn-how-much-mueller-knows-about-roger-stones-collusion-devin-nunes-blames-fbi-for-stone-and-michael-caputos-perjury-to-hpsci/ …

Gowdy had been very supportive of Mueller's inquiry up until IG Report released. But that changed Friday and Sunday, when Gowdy said any prosecutions pursuant to the investigation would be improper (in spite of the evidence that Strzok lost his bid to investigate aggressively)

Correcting myself: No Wray today, just Horowitz. Back to Fight for Trey Gowdy's soul: GOP put a deadline of tomorrow on this new extortion demand.

Remember, too, that Goodlatte made a big show of suggesting that Peter Strzok refused to show up. Then Strzok's lawyer released a letter showing he had offered to w/o subpoena. Goodlatte has gone silent since.

Gowdy comparing Comey not pushing for special counsel in Hillary investigation but doing so in the Trump one.

Replying to @emptywheel
Not a popular opinion, but I think the IG Report shows that a Special Counsel would have been preferable b/c DoJ and FBI leadership clearly couldn't handle the political pressures of the HRC investigation.
