Comey and Loretta Lynch refuse to appear before senate; McCabe appears but refuses to testify
The Constitution--which the Founders apparently considered "the supreme law of the land"--says Congress is supposed to oversee the operation of the federal government. So the U.S. senate's Judiciary Committee held a hearing on possible illegal acts by Obama's FBI and Department of "Justice" in the year leading up to the last presidential election.
Specifically, the head of the committee wanted to know how the FBI and DOJ decided to clear Hilliary of any wrongdoing regarding her sending and receiving Top Seccret emails to her private, email account on an unsecured server in her New York home. So the chairman of the committee wanted to subpoena Obama's Attorney-General, Loretta Lynch, Obama's FBI director James Comey and deputy director Andrew McCabe to testify.
For young readers, a subpoena is a legal demand that you appear.
Democrat senator Diane Feinstein blocked the committee from issuing a subpoena. Turns out the senate has a rule that a committee can only issue a subpoena if the ranking minority member agrees with the committee chair. Feinstein is the ranking Democrat, so was able to block.
With Feinstein blocking a command to appear and testify, all the committee could do was invite the witnesses to appear.
FBI Director James B. Comey and former A-G Loretta Lynch refused to appear.
"But...but...but we're, like, totally transparent, peons! We dindoo nuffin wrong! We just don't wanna testify cuz, um...we're busy people. Got lots more important things to do, eh citizen? So fuck off."
"But remember, citizens: we Democrats are all about government being totally transparent! At least when the Rethuglicans are in charge."
But don't worry, folks: Fired deputy FBI director McCabe bravely showed up, so we'll learn whatever he's willing to tell us--provided Feinstein and the other Dem members don't spend the whole day blowing smoke.
Ooooh, wait: McCabe refused to answer any questions, "taking the Fifth" on everything.
But other than that, he was totally forthright and honest.
And by the way, Democrats admit that the rule that says the senate can only subpoena someone to appear if the ranking minority member agrees might...uh...make it harder for the senate to uncover wrongdoing. They say they're truly aggrieved by this and actually want to eliminate that rule--and will do so as soon as the Democrats regain majority control again.
Oh, and do, do remember to vote Democrat in November, so we can have more blocking and less testimony by guilty, corrupt rat-bastards.
