U.S. House Republican to subpoena ex-FBI head Comey, ex-AG Lynch
“House Republicans can ask me anything they want but I want the American people to watch, so let’s have a public hearing. Truth is best served by transparency. Let me know when is convenient,” Comey said on Twitter.

The plans by Republican Chairman Bob Goodlatte were immediately criticized by ranking Democrat Jerrold Nadler, who is expected to take over as chairman of the panel next year.
“These subpoenas are coming out of the blue, with very little time left on the calendar,” Nadler said in a statement, adding that Comey and Lynch had indicated “months ago” they would be willing to answer questions voluntarily.
So now, the GOP House has set the precedent. Issue subpoenas even when people are willing to testify voluntarily.
Lol, such a pitiful act.
There's no end to this stuff, I guess. It's hard not to wonder how much Congress could accomplish if it weren't always investigating shit.
