"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.
