James Comey Declines to Answer ‘Many' Questions During Hill Testimony

2018-12-08

[Breitbart] Former FBI Director James Comey refused to answer several questions during his closed-door interview with House investigators on Friday, according to a report.
Fox News, citing several lawmakers, reports that Comey’s lawyers "instructed" their client not to respond to questions regarding the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified information, Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants, and the Steele dossier.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), who stepped outside to talk to reporters during the hearing, expressed dissatisfaction with Comey’s apparent inability to responded to various questions. "One of the disappointments of this deposition so far has been the amount of times in which the FBI believes that Congress doesn’t have a right to know," Issa said begrudgery.

The California Republican revealed Comey’s lawyers, one of which works for the Department of Justice, asked him not to provide answers to "a great many questions that are clearly items at the core of our investigation" ‐ a directive the fired FBI Director abided by in a "gleeful" fashion, Issa told Fox News. "The Department of Justice is going to have to agree to allow him to come back and answer a great many questions that currently he is not answering," said Issa.

#6 Issa said Comey has two attorneys, including one from the DOJ, who have “instructed” the former FBI director not to answer “a great many questions that are clearly items at the core of our investigation.” Issa said the instructions have been followed with Comey’s “gleeful acceptance.”
