      Trump wants a pick before Comey testifies. To normalize that he should get to pick.https://twitter.com/SariHorwitz/status/863388201553186816 …

      No he didn't. He declined to testify under conditions that were offered, and he's using credulous people responding to the media to bargain

      Here's a thread on what Comey (and Schumer) orchestrated in 2007. He's working to replay it.https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/863134803939528710 …

      Folks who're worried abt Comey "refusing" to testify? He did same thing in 2007. It remains most memorable testimony of last decade.

      How do I know stuff I covered in real time decade ago? How do I know what comey will do now in analogous situation here? Golly I wonder how.

      He has already agreed to testify in a closed hearing. He doesn't want to usurp the authority of the acting FBI Director.

          You think a subpoena is for "legal protection." Only immunity offers protection. Where'd you go to law school?

          You made up a bunch of stuff on your timeline. It's hilarious. Sen Warner can issue a subpoena for his testimony. Doesn't require Congress

          BREAKING SENATOR WARNER IS CONGRESS. Actually, it'd be Burr. But yes. Thanks for catching up, almost.

          I'm telling you that Warner or Burr can do it. They have subpoena power. But you don't need subpoena if he's volunteering to testify!
