Early this week notorious National Security Advisor to President Obama Susan Rice refused to accept a request to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee citing lack of bipartisanship.
And now House legal bulldog Trey Gowdy is threatening to force her to testify.
In an interview with Fox News, Gowdy declared laconically, “There are other ways to invite people…There are things called subpoenas.”
Should he make good on the threat, Rice will be front and center before Gowdy.
And we all know how fun that will be to watch.
Here’s more from Breitbart…
Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” while discussing President Barack Obama’s former national security adviser Susan Rice’s decision to decline an invitation to testify before a Senate subcommittee on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) said that could lead Congress to subpoena her.
Gowdy said, “There are other ways to invite people other than via a letter. There are things called subpoenas. You shouldn’t have to use it with a former national security adviser, but if you do, you do.”
Referencing Rice’s role in the unmasking of Trump transition officials he said Rice is “a very important witness.”
He added, “Members of Congress don’t pick the witnesses. Lawyers don’t pick witnesses. The facts pick the witnesses.And whether Ambassador Rice likes it or not, she’s a really important fact witness.”
