"Because your Department is failing to meet its legal obligations, I am issuing a new subpoena to compel you to appear before the Committee to answer questions about your agency's response to the congressional investigation of the Benghazi attack."Subpoena from Issa to Kerry. cc: Elijah E. Cummings, nice touch, that. His name is already on top, and Cummings is sitting right next to Issa. POW right in the kisser.
This is the single mention I heard on the news tonight while scanning the networks. It was described thus, "Republicans are bypassing the usual 'invitation' to testify" suggesting that Republicans are just being vindictive disruptive meany-pants as usual.
PDF letter to John Kerry that accompanies a subpoena. The most interesting letter I've read all year. It is short and to the point. The longest thing about it is the list of all the names at top. Linked on Drudge who leads with "Disturbing disregard for legal obligations..." And I suppose that makes me a drudgebot according to the lights of dismissive liberal commentariat.
This is separate from Boehner's Select Committee.
Select Committee is different from regular investigative committee. It will be comprised of heads of other committees. They do the full-on testimonies under oath and not the regular five minute question and answer sessions we've seen so far. More akin to inquisition. I believe it is the point were things start getting real.

The comments on Boehner's site make for uplifting reading. Thousands and so fast. They want more.
Waterghazi.
Oops. I must take that back. Didn't read far enough. Comments devolve to usual pure shit. Like every discussion I've had with any liberal for the last, oh, ten years except even worse now than when I cancelled all friendships and isolated myself.
During the Watergate hearings, I was in college working as a truck driver for the Evening Bulletin. Back then, newspapers had multiple editions a day. It was pretty fascinating stuff. I'd pick up a load of papers, leave the loading terminal with my papers and take them out and deliver to my stops and then come back to get the next edition which invariably had more up to date info on the front page about the hearings.
You could tell which edition was which by the number of stars on the front page [at least that is how I remember it].
Compliance with a subpoena for documents is not a game
Problem: in this administration's several cases; who would enforce the subpoena? Who would enforce a contempt citation?
Holder? Bwahahahahaha. Snort,
Kerry responded to Issa en français:

So now it's two years later...
How many of you remember being constantly lectured at TOP by a commentor that we were out of line not to give the administration ample time to investigate?
Yeah, I remember that, too.
But, what difference, at this point, does it make?
Dude... it's been two years!
Dude!
It's all a game man. And if a CIA agent gets too close to figuring out something that the public shouldn't know, we'll out 'em.
Great game. We've learned well.
chicken, hilariously excellent.
That vocal fry register thing that Lurch does is the hesitancy place-holding sound some French men make when speaking English and why English speakers call French people frogs.
laryngealisation
glottal rattle or scrape
strohbass
pulse register or creak or phonation
the lowest one's voice can go.

Do tell !
chick, je m'appelle was the first thing I learned in French. The second thing was how to say The Lord's Prayer.
If Holder were smart he would agree and appoint another Democratic functionary who would bury it and run out the clock.
The Republicans will get their investigation which will stall right up to the time that Obama issues pardons to Holder, Lerner and everyone else involved in this.
You know that Obama is going to pardon them right?
