Washington – Former FBI director James Comey has challenged in court a subpoena from the House of Representatives.

Lawyers for Comey argued in a court filing Thursday that he shouldn’t have to appear for a closed-door interview with lawmakers next week.
The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Comey earlier this month to answer questions about FBI actions and decisions during the 2016 presidential election.
Comey said last week that he intended to contest the subpoena, but said that he’d be willing to answer questions at a public hearing.
His lawyers say that his testimony in a closed-door interview would be “subject to selective leaking by members of the Judiciary Committee.”
Comey going down and Hillary to follow
This last gasp by the failed alt-GOP House Committee won’t turn out well for them. Mikey Coi’hen has stolen the headlines again. Loser Comey won’t provide any new info about what a rasha trumpf is.
Slimy slick commey looking for a showman attention
idiot trumpf complains his former atty wants a lesser sentence by pleading guilty to the Feds, at the same time he promises to pardon guilty felon Manafart for protecting him by lying to Feds. This is the behavior of the Orange Maw in WH. MULLER NOOSE JAN 1. COOMEY MUST RESIST
Any judge that considers such a ridiculous excuse would set a precedence to trash the entire law enforcement system – every subpoena would have the same problem. He is just stalling until the new government takes office.
