The committee’s top Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, said Monday that Comey refused to appear at the meeting because he had “already bent over backwards” explaining the FBI’s decision in Clinton’s email scandal, The Washington Examiner reported.

Apparently a federal employee is allowed to flout the law by throwing a temper tantrum.

@dcexaminer Disgusting. He’ll be held in contempt by DoJ, compelled,to appear… wait, no he won’t. #DoJ doesn’t uphold laws they don’t like — Big Ben (@fireforeffect49) September 13, 2016

Comey may not have an official “D” after his name, but there is no mistake where his loyalty lies. And with a corrupt Democrat administration to back him up, he has no need to answer to the American people.
