Anyone know if LL is still on for the 4th?
Q?
Interesting how he caved before the judge even gave his ruling
The federal judge hearing a request Friday by former FBI director James B. Comey to quash a subpoena from two House committees delayed his ruling until Monday but indicated he is unlikely to grant Comey’s motion.

WASHINGTON — Former FBI director James Comey has reached an agreement with House Republicans, ending a standoff over whether he would appear in front of Congress to discuss his role in law-enforcement decisions during the 2016 election.
Lawyers for Comey filed a brief in court on Sunday saying he had reached an “acceptable accommodation” that would allow for the former FBI director to testify in a closed-door hearing on Friday.
The agreement will make Comey’s testimony in front of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees public within 24 hours of his appearance. A representative of the FBI will also be present to advise on any issues of confidentiality and legal privilege, according to Comey’s attorney. In exchange, the GOP-led committees will withdraw a subpoena demanding his testimony.
Comey had been pushing for a public appearance rather than a closed-door hearing. He said that he was concerned about leaks and wanted the American people to be able to hear his testimony.
