So much for all of the anticipated excitement in Washington today. We were all set for former FBI attorney and Team Mueller member Lisa Page to show up and testify before the House Judiciary Committee. While it was going to be a closed session, at least some of the details were likely to leak out and several of the members have quite a few questions about Pages text messaging history with her illicit lover, Peter Strzok. But now thats all been put on hold. Despite having been served with a subpoena to appear, Pages lawyer announced last night that she wont be showing up.
Lisa Page, the former anti-Trump FBI lawyer and member of special counsel Robert Muellers team, said Tuesday evening that she will not attend a House committee hearing for which she had been subpoeanaed.
According to CNN, Ms. Page will not attend the planned deposition hearing by the House Judiciary and Oversight committees over access to her papers at the FBI, which had previously been provided to Congress
Page attorney Amy Jeffress, in a statement tweeted out by CNN reporter Laura Jarrett, said her client had only been subpoenaed four days before the planned hearing and needed more time to prepare
So what happens now? In theory, Page could be charged with contempt of Congress. That carries a penalty of between one and twelve months in jail and/or a fine not to exceed $1,000. But it requires some extraordinary circumstances before they hand out penalties like that. Pages attorney is making it sound as if she has every intention of complying but simply wants to review the materials shell be asked about in advance.

Yes, my comment was that it wouldn’t do any good.
Now, it is safe to say that the Tea Party marches that descended on DC WERE effective. However, the GOP has majorities in both sides of congress right now and they just won’t listen to us anymore. Right before an election they get all conservative, but afterwards they revert back to their establishment ways.
Her integrity and ethical standing?
It was said on Fox that if they didn’t go after her, no one would have to ever answer a subpoena after this.
Wanna bet?
If we took to the streets, organized a group of people who screamed, threatened, ruined dinner for restaurant eaters, acted like the left does... I do think congress would do something about some of this stuff.. but knowing it takes that, makes me sick at heart for the state of our country and the government that has revolved in our slumber.
They have NO IDEA who angry some of us are at their lack and their letting the illegal activity get to the place it has. And don’t tell me all of congress didn’t know this was going on!!
We elect a man who is trying to clean it up and they sit on their laurels, unable to lift a finger to back him up and put a stop to the high level stink.
Every time I hear Fox guests say “Trump” in charges... I want to know why the host doesn’t constantly remind them it was under obama.. this happened... he is the guilty one .. he and hillary and all their helpers... when.. WHEN .. will they ever do anything with them.. handcuffs..
I realize they aren’t going to do anything unless we, the people, go on a rampage.. and we won’t do anything either. So what is the answer? Give me something to quell the anger that must be in a lot of us over all this!!!
“Plus it is her civic duty...”
She blew that a long time ago, pardon the pun.
“Her integrity and ethical standing?”
That’s long gone. See my other remark.
Hold her in contempt.Is a show cause hearing required? Then re-issue the subpoena for the same day as the show cause.Turn the heat on.
if she is not arrested the fbi is in control, it must stop
dress her in maga outfit and dump her with a mask at a lib rally
coup appears complete
Who does she think she is? Eric Holder?
Who has the power of arrest? The Executive Branch.
Therein lies the rub.
The stage was set and the message was sent when Rosenstein testified before the intelligence committee and laughed in their faces.
No we need to vote the bums out! All of them! Start from scratch!
I wonder if any of these people who are rightly going through hell, ever think about how Hillary is still scot-free.
“Lisa Page Tells Congress What They Can Do With Their Subpoena”
Apparently Ms. Page mistook “subpoena” for “suppository.”
Page attorney Amy Jeffress, in a statement tweeted out by CNN reporter Laura Jarrett, said her client had only been subpoenaed four days before the planned hearing and needed more time to prepare
Thanks mandaladon.
coup appears complete
****************
And the Swamp has been preserved.
I’m still waiting for Trump to start draining it. I wonder who the FBI will be supporting in the next election?
Stormy’s looking for an assistant to fondle the johns... Maybe Lisa Page can step in...
whoever it is , does not appear to be us
The two of them will soon be cohosting a show on CNN.
