GOP Lawmakers: Comey Will be Back in Two Weeks For Second Interview with House Judiciary Committee
Republican Congressmen Matt Gaetz (FL) and Jim Jordan (OH) emerged from Comey’s closed-door interview Friday and told reporters that the former FBI Director will be back in two weeks for another session.
Gowdy leaves Comey mtg. He says they still questions for Comey. Would like a 2nd session. Unclear if there is time in this Congress

Congressman Gaetz is unhappy it took two years to call Comey in for questioning.
GOP FL Rep Gaetz on Comey returning for 2nd i-view later this month: Thus all strikes me as a bizzare timeline. We’ve had 42 names from Devin Nunes for 5 months and were just now getting to James Comey sort of seems like the death rattle of Republican oversight.

Comey was not cooperating with GOP lawmakers on Friday and was told by his DOJ attorney not to answer many pertinent questions on FISA abuses and Russiagate.
FOX News Catherine Herridge reported that a DOJ attorney is telling Comey not to answer questions. They may have to call Comey back in for more questioning.
