GOP close to issuing subpoena for Justice records linked to Clinton probe, lawmaker says

By KYLE CHENEY 03/19/2018 09:03 PM EDT

A top House Republican is preparing to subpoena the Justice Department for records gathered by its inspector general in his review of how the FBI handled its 2016 investigation of Hillary Clinton, according to two GOP sources familiar with the congressman’s plans.

Lawmakers have clamored to obtain the 1.2 million documents that the inspector general, Michael Horowitz, has gathered in his investigation, which has already led to the ouster of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe on the eve of his retirement. But so far, Republicans have complained that the Justice Department has turned over only a few thousand of the documents.

Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is preparing to issue an “imminent” subpoena to the department to produce the documents, Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) said in an interview. A Republican committee source also confirmed that the subpoena was expected to come soon.

“The actual issuance has not happened yet, but my understanding is it’s imminent,” Ratcliffe said.

to allow them to turn the cable news cycle back to whaddaboutism. They are soul-less bastards.
Aside from their callow obeisance to the orange turd and their hatred of HIllary; what burns my ass is that this is how they are spending our tax dollars. Oh... and by the way....budget deadline time again on Friday.

Goodlatte?
Gee, you'd think Mueller was standing right outside Goodlatte's door to ready hand deliver a subpoena or something.

"Subpoenas are "Imminent"

Hillary becomes the hail mary pass, again.
