House panels to grill Comeys former chief of staff on FBI probe of Clinton

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A pair of House committees on Thursday morning will grill former FBI Director James Comey’s onetime chief of staff as part of an ongoing joint probe into the bureau’s handling of the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

For months, FBI official James Rybicki has been hotly sought by Republicans, who have suggested his testimony could provide support for President Trump’s decision to fire Comey in the spring of last year.

Rybicki is expected to face questions from members of the Oversight and Government Reform and the Judiciary committees on the drafting of Comey’s 2016 memo clearing Clinton, that year’s Democratic presidential nominee, as well as a series of texts between two agents criticizing 2016 election candidates, including Trump.

Lawmakers will be limited to questions related to how the bureau handled the Clinton investigation, according to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). The narrow scope is likely to avoid conflicting with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the Trump campaign’s possible ties to Russia. That investigation includes probing whether Trump’s dismissal of Comey was an effort to obstruct justice.

Would love to hook up Jordan to a lie detector and do a little grilling.
