Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      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.

      Your little timeline match up is cute. A subpoena doesn't offer Comey or anyone "legal & ethical" protection! It forces someone to testify!

      Um. It forces someone to testify EVEN IF they have obligations to secrecy elsewhere. This happens a lot w/Cong testimony.

      Are you taking about immunity from prosecution?

      No. I just explained what I'm talking about. Precisely what happened w/Comey in 2007.

      You have a tape of Comey testimony from 2007 and some timeline. What's your source other than a irrelevant 2007 case?

      How is Comey's testimony in 2007--which he wanted to give but did not until he had subpoena that superseded obligation to DOJ--not relevant?

      Because he was a govt employee

      In 2007 he was the former DAG. In 2017 he is the former FBI Director. Not a govt employee in either case.

      He must have been reluctant to testify. He has already said he'll testify behind closed doors in 2017. No need for subpoena.

      Actually that's NOT what he has said. Perhaps go read about what happened in 2007, AND what has happened here. Anyway, I'm done. Bye.

          Typical. Liberals can't stand to be faced with someone who knows more so they run. Let's watch & see if Comey demands a subpoena.
