House Republicans are calling on House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings to schedule a hearing with Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz to evaluate his scathing report on former FBI Director James Comey and his misconduct. Certainly we should all agree that we do not want to see this sort of outrageous hyper-partisan irresponsibility and misuse of power at the very highest levels of our federal government law enforcement agencies. Trump allies call on Cummings to schedule hearing over Comey report Two of President Trump's most fervent House allies are calling on the House Oversight and Reform Committee chairman to schedule a hearing promptly with Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz, the day after Horowitz released a scathing report about former FBI Director James Comey violating the bureau's policies. Rep. Jim Jordan (Ohio), the top Republican on the Oversight committee, and committee member Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) asked Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) on Friday to schedule a hearing with Horowitz to discuss his report's findings. “In light of the great costs to our country stemming from Comey’s reckless conduct, we respectfully request that you immediately schedule a hearing with Inspector General Horowitz to examine the OIG [Office of Inspector General] report about Comey’s misconduct," they write in a letter released Friday. Surely Representative Cummings will want to get this hearing scheduled as soon as is reasonably possible. Am I right?
Good idea... I favor this. I look forward to Comey testifying, answering questions about concerns he had. Don't you?
Not soon enough for me. I am also hoping that trump testifies, since he seems key to this investigation. Can you arrange for his appearance?
Trump has already been thoroughly investigated and cleared of criminal wrongdoing by the DOJ based on the findings of the Mueller Report. As you know very well. It is now time to turn our attention to the perps who created this scam and who effectively did collude with the Russians to try to effect the outcome of the 2016 election and then tried to coordinate the overthrow of the duly elected President of the United States.
Actually, he has not. trump has ducked testifying, at best providing a written response drafted by his legal team that refused to answer most of the questions asked. And Mueller's report went as far to outright say they could not not exonerate, so many questions continue to exist. Mueller later testified to this. I am all in favor of complete transparency... you obviously are not. You must fear what would happen if there was complete transparency.
