Republicans plan to grill Comey, Clapper on possible perjury in Flynn case
NY Post ^ | May 13, 2020

Senate Republicans are vowing to haul James Comey and James Clapper back before Congress to ask which one committed perjury about briefing then-President Barack Obama on Michael Flynn’s calls with Russia’s ambassador.

Comey, the fired former FBI director, said in newly released congressional testimony that Clapper, the former US intelligence chief, briefed Obama. Clapper testified, however, that he did not.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) told The Post, “You don’t have to be a senior at city college to realize one of them is lying. I think we ought to call them both back in and ask them: Which one of you guys is lying to Congress?”

Sorry, grilling is forbidden under shelter in place rules.

Unless Republicans are going to put Comey and Clapper on an actual grill, I am not interested.

Come one, surely you haven’t discounted the likely prospect that both of them are lying to Congress and about many things.

Of course, that would only be a crime if a R did the lying. So what would be the point of asking them under oath and allowing them both to continue lying?

We’ve seen the results of RINOs “grilling” these criminals . . . no charges, no nothing; just more Kabuki theater (and the real stuff on NHK World is far more entertaining).

ask them: Which one of you guys is lying to Congress?”

Each will say in unison: "The ugly one." and point to the other.

Okay, back to square one. Both are ugly.

If GOP Senators “grill” these traitors, what power/authority does the Senate have to make these guys pay, i.e., HANG? Any power, or would it just be a show?

BFD. Durham... maybe. But I have been wildly unimpressed with Congressional questioning. 5 minutes on, 5 minutes off. If it’s good stuff, its a secret session and we hear about it late or never.

LOL!! Yeah, let’s question known liars to Congress again, so they can lie some more.

" Which one of you guys is lying to Congress?”

Senator John Kennedy is not an idiot however, he may want to look back and see how lying is de rigueur to Dems/Progressives/Communist what ever you call the left...they rarely tell the facts, they spin the truth, they feel it is their right not only to lie, but to spend your money on their lobbyists projects; 2 Trillion is not enough for Ripper Nancy Pelosi, she could care less about your health...she just wants the money.
