Jennifer Rodgers on Comey, Lynch Subpoenas: ‘Looks More Like a Lame-Duck Committee Chair Pulling a Hail Mary’

‘This is really just a political stunt’

EXCERPT:

RODGERS: "It definitely is. There’s no question there has been massive leaks with hearings in the past, and Comey insisted before to testify in public. So I think his concern is right. I think his insistence on a public hearing is right. He hasn’t been FBI director for a long time. There’s really nothing that hasn’t been already gone over with a fine-tooth comb. This looks more like a lame-duck committee chair pulling a hail Mary here to try to do something political before they lose their positions there. And especially in the wake of reporting that the President tried to actually prosecute Comey or at least was thinking about prosecuting Comey, you know, for what who knows, but it makes it seem more and more like this is really just a political stunt and not the basis of any legitimate investigation going on in that Committee."
