The Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee is readying subpoenas for people connected to the controversial “Steele” dossier, sources tell The Hill.

Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) is preparing subpoenas for Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, his wife Nellie Ohr and Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, according to two congressional sources familiar with the matter.

The subpoenas will also go after other current and former FBI and DOJ officials including Jim Baker, Sally Moyer, Jonathan Moffa and George Toscas, the sources said.

Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores confirmed to The Hill that Goodlatte has been in touch with the DOJ about seeking testimonies from these officials.

1. This is going to turn out like the Strotzk hearing.

Don't these idiots ever learn to look down before they step on their own dicks? Jayzuz.

Please proceed gov'ner!

Hope he has better control of this better then the hearing with Strzok. That was embarrassing.

Something shiny to dangle in front of the base?

4. Joe Scarborough's response, calling Goodlatte a Useful Idiot for Russia:

Hey Bob, Vladimir has to be pleased that you have become a Useful Idiot for Russia and obsessed with killing the investigation into how Putin plots to undermine American democracy. You do this even after the US military & Trump’s own Intel chiefs caught the Russians red handed.

5. What a tool.

A tool of Trump, and his soulmate, Vladimir.

What that vacuous jackass, Goodlatte, is hoping to prove with this ridiculous stunt escapes me.

6. Repug oversight efforts, always enchanting to observe.

Muddy the waters for twitler, goodlatte. You swine.

7. If them, best to keep the Steele dossier under wraps

They're playing with fire. That may blow up in their face. A booby trap: the more they draw attention to who set it or who leaked it, the more the curious will want to know what's inside. Boom.
