House Committee subpoenas Former FBI Attorney Who sent Anti-Trump Texts

2018-07-10

[Daily Caller] Two congressional committees have subpoenaed a former FBI attorney who exchanged anti-Trump text messages to appear for a closed-door deposition Wednesday.

The House Judiciary and House Government & Oversight Committees issued the subpoena Monday to Lisa Page, the former mistress of FBI agent Peter Strzok.

Strzok, who oversaw the FBI’s Russia investigation when it first started, will testify in public before both committees on Thursday.

Page’s lawyer told CNN that Page has negotiated with the GOP-controlled committees to appear voluntarily.

"We asked the committee staff to explain the scope of the investigation and provide sufficient notice that would allow her to prepare, which are normal conditions for congressional committees, but these committees have not followed the normal process," Amy Jeffress told CNN.

#9 The process is the punishment.
The return of the 'Spoils System" in all the spiteful glory of its medieval variant: if Your Guy Loses then you are out of a job and need to flee town in the dark because a mob is warming up the Tar n' Feathers.

#8 Over eighteen months of investigation, hearings and testimony, a city full of lawyers, and no criminal indictments....

The process is the punishment. And a warning of what awaits to the rest of those still working for the government who had previously felt encouraged to put their thumbs on various scales.

#1 Over eighteen months of investigation, hearings and testimony, a city full of lawyers, and no criminal indictments....other than Mssrs. Manafort and Flynn. Manafort resting comfortably in solitary confinement awaiting trial, and Flynn, in financial ruin due to legal fees.

Strange, very strange.
