    Does she though? I could see the administration stonewalling by claiming that she no longer represents it in that capacity. I even wonder if ducking her testimony was a primary motive in doing this now.

      Honestly don’t know what they can do anymore. One would think a convicted felon has to go to prison but instead we made them President.

      Wouldn’t be surprised if she just refused to go and nothing happened to her.

      Yes she does, the subpoena still applies. But I wouldn’t doubt if Trump didn’t know that when he fired her.

        Hoping she has an ounce of dignity and humanity and goes scorched earth on Trump et al. during the testimony

      She was subpoenaed by name, not by title, and just because she is not in the AG role anymore doesn’t mean she can’t be subpoenaed and legally compelled to appear by Congress. She absolutely still has information Congress has the authority to compel her to provide.

      See Hillary and Bill Clinton just a few weeks ago, or Hillary being subpoenaed about Benghazi in 2015, long after she stopped being Secretary of State.
