House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for former Attorneys General William Barr and Jeff Sessions to testify before Congress regarding reports that the Trump Justice Department seized data records of prominent Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee

The speaker said the decision to secretly subpoena the information went beyond the scandal-laden track record of the Nixon administration. | Manuel Balce Ceneta/AP PhotoHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi called on Sunday for former Attorneys General William Barr and Jeff Sessions to testify before Congress regarding reports that the Trump Justice Department seized data records of prominent Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee.

“Richard Nixon had an enemies list,” Pelosi told CNN host Dana Bash. “This is about undermining the rule of law.” A growing number of Democrats are joining the call for an investigation, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin of Illinois. Pelosi demurred when asked if she would push to subpoena Barr and Sessions if they refused to appear before Congress.

SethAbramson Great. Now let’s get those subpoenas issued. And include Rosenstein along with them.

Yikes!

That was a waste of time.

They’ll say: “we didn’t know anything”

She has to push for something since her resurrection stunt has failed .

UROCKlive1 BaddCompani

UROCKlive1 If Sessions and Barr did not know, then they are incompetent and or delinquent. If they knew and lied about this, subpeona, question, charge, convict, sentence and then, lock them the hail up.

New speaker and term limits. This one isn't doing the job

SpeakerPelosi You need to call Whitaker, too.

UROCKlive1 Be Sure to Subpoena they're criminal butts!

SethAbramson Send subpoenas SpeakerPelosi

SethAbramson They both did so much worse than the current scandal and Pelosi did nothing to hold them to account after taking the gavel. Her words are meaningless and she should be replaced as Speaker so someone effective (pundits definition of 'effective' needs to change) can take over.

SethAbramson Sessions, Whittaker, Barr, and Garland all on one panel, broadcast live, questioned by lawyers for each side, 30 min...for two days of questioning. 10am-6pm first day 10am until they have no other questions. Obviously under oath and penalties for perjury.

Remember when barr taunted Pelosi about a subpoena? Asking if she was going to handcuff him? Times have changed, elections have consequences.

What is keeping the Dems from issuing subpoenas?

Good luck with that, getting them to testify. The threat of a subpoena means nothing today. They’re take that to court and stall forever. Nothing is going to happen.

SethAbramson Barr has already lied to Congress, with no consequences. He’ll lie again and be unable to recall whether he was ever aware of anything. Bring receipts!

SethAbramson She really should retire at her age..THIS will be the fiercest fight of her..and OUR LIVES😓

If only our congress could find the time to address M4A, homeless crisis, student loan forgiveness or anything relevant to current problems. They see thier time best spent worrying about themselves. If they had nothing to hide why are they concerned? Isn't that what we are told?

Funny, she wasn’t the least bit interested about Comey, Steele, Clinton, etc, etc. Pure partisan hack.

It’s probably with the speeches that Trump didn’t hold onto

SethAbramson 'called for'? What's next? Strongly worded letter? It took six months to get Barr under oath last time.

Shifty, Schiff was handing out phone's of the GOP.

SethAbramson weak willy dems wont do it they don't have the balls

SethAbramson Don't forget MattWhitaker46, TeamPelosi SpeakerPelosi RepJerryNadler RepAdamSchiff RepSwalwell RepMaloney LeaderHoyer

And Rod.

SethAbramson Do they have to they are out of office

SethAbramson PUSH HARDER and with INTENT.

All talk, no action. Do nothing Dems.

SethAbramson aren't subpoenas signed? can't they be produced and examined, work backwards to source?

So do it already, this glacier pace the house is moving at means you’ll accomplish nothing

Pushing?

Then she should issue some subpoenas instead of just talking about it

Don't forget Rosenstein.

HillBeverlyhill teigland_cindy AuthorKimberley Wonder will they all take the 5th or commit perjury & lie?Then there Rod Rosenstein & what he knew. Then there though inside DOJ what did they know who was behind it?

How about acting guy whitcker too?
