Comey said in past testimony that the decision not to charge Clinton wasn’t made until after that official interview.

“There’s a mountain of evidence — a growing mountain of evidence — that seems entirely inconsistent with what he said under oath,” Ratcliffe, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, told Politico.

“He may have testified truthfully, but there’s a lot of stuff that says that he didn’t. Trust me: He will either appear and testify or he will exercise his Fifth Amendment right,” the lawmaker said.

Ratcliffe added that Comey might not be summoned to testify again until the committee interviews other witnesses and makes its way through hundreds of thousands of documents turned over by the DOJ.
