Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is preparing subpoenas for those connected to the infamous Steele dossier, according to a Friday Hill report.

Goodlatte will reportedly call DOJ official Bruce Ohr, his wife Nellie Ohr and Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, among others.

Per the Hill, Goodlatte could issue the orders to come in for interviews as soon as next week to continue to delve into FBI decision making during the 2016 election.

Investigating the Steele dossier has been a pet interest of many Republicans since they found out that the Hillary Clinton campaign funded some of the research in it.

  1. Oh, this is gonna be great!!!

    As much as the GOP wants to call BS on the dossier, let’s question a whole bunch of folks connected to it who can verify its authenticity.

    The GOP may get a whole lot more than they bargained for with this one.

  2. I have a great idea, guys! Let’s put sustained attention on what once seemed like a far-fetched account of the president, but which now seems like the very soul of prescience as more of it is confirmed all the time! Literally nothing could go wrong!

  3. Don’t forget the bosses at the Washington Free Beacon and its funders!
    Or are they only looking to smear Democrats involved after the Republicans dropped it and GPS needed a new client?

  4. Please! Call them all. Put it all on the record. ALL.

  5. Because this worked so well with Peter Strzok. Seriously, if these guys actually believe this will do their cause any good, they’re descending into magical thinking.
