Comey the ####head wants only a public appearance because (1) questions would be greatly restricted, (2) serious follow-ups would be nearly impossible, and (3) each questioner is limited to 5 min. etc. etc.

[Trump_the_Evil_Left]

Comey wants a “show” for his own propaganda purposes.

[JoSixChip]

All he has to do is delay it until Jan 20th. The dems will never have him testify.

[piasa]

He thinks he can pull off an Ollie North

[DesertRhino]

First that blasi Ford woman in the Cavanaugh hearing, now comey, seems like anyone who gets a subpoena from Congress now sets the terms by which they will honor it. It’s time for some US Marshals to go grab these turds just like they would one of us who ignored a subpoena.

[Diogenesis]

Mr. Uranium 1 is looking for a SPECIAL DEAL
to continue the coverup of his treason and sedition
and HIS coverup of treason and sedition and
child rape and murder.

[Be Free]

He’d lose in the courts and he knows it. But it doesn’t matter - the real purpose of the filing is to tie it up in the courts until Congress goes into recess, then the new Congress gets seated, then the subpoena gets killed.

In other words, he’s trying to run out the clock.

I guess the Senate will just have to subpoena him instead.

[shelterguy]

He has nothing to fear at all. He just needs to tell them he didn’t intend to do anything wrong and he is free to go. Right????? Or does that only work for the clintonistas?

4. All the co-conspirators will be able to hear his answers and craft their responses to match.

[Wonder Warthog]

Uh, Congress and the Court system are two independent branches of government. I don’t think a federal court can “quash” a Congressional subpoena.

[rigelkentaurus]

I’m surprised he is bothering to file a court case. Thought Rats could just ignore these things since there is never any downside for them to do so.

[petitfour]

Didnt he lie to Congress already? Where is his plea deal?

[UCANSEE2]

“Comey has previously said that he would welcome testifying in public but would fight the subpoena for a closed-door appearance”

YET, he had no problem with conducting closed-door testimony when it came to people he subpoenaed.

[rockinqsranch]

A delaying tactic. Just a tactic to delay the inevitable until he has a more friendly House Judiciary.

[Williams]

Gee what’s he worried about?

[LookingUp]

He wants to do the same old. I cannot answer this question in public due to classification. Also T Gowdy said he surely didn’t question his Subjects in public.

[for-q-clinton]

No he’s just delaying until the democrats take over.

[NFHale]

Challenge it all he wants.

If he refuses to show, send Federal Marshals to DRAG his ass in there in handcuffs and leg irons.

[pacificus]

Guilty!!!

My only problem with this is why the hell didn’t we do this months ago?

[Eleutheria5]

What’s the problem. He can pick and choose what to leak in a closed-door session.

[Carl Vehse]

Here's a link to the "Motion and Memorandum in Support by James B. Comey to Quash the Congressional Subpoena."

In it Comey lists CNBC, CNN, The Hill, and the New York Times as "Other Authorities."

Snort, snort.
