House Judiciary Republicans Call For Second Special Counsel To Investigate Clinton, Comey, Lynch

Posted By Chuck Ross On 9:56 PM 07/27/2017 In | No Comments

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are asking the Justice Department to appoint a second special counsel, this one to investigate Hillary Clinton, former FBI Director James Comey and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

In a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the Judiciary Republicans say they want a second investigator to match Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is conducting a sprawling investigation of the Trump campaign and various Trump associates.

“The unbalanced, uncertain, and seemingly unlimited focus of the special counsel’s investigation has led many of our constituents to see a dual standard of justice that benefits only the powerful and politically well-connected,” the Republicans say.

In their letter, the Republicans list 14 separate categories they say should be investigated by the additional special counsel.
They are calling for a deeper investigation of Hillary Clinton and her potential mishandling of classified information.

The Republicans are also questioning why the Justice Department did not impanel a grand jury to look into the mishandling of classified information. They also want to look into Comey’s recent claim that he was ordered by Lynch to publicly refer to the Clinton email probe as a “matter” instead of an investigation.

Comey told the Senate Intelligence Committee last month that he was “confused and concerned” by Lynch’s request.

Regarding Comey, the Republicans want the special counsel to look into “any and all potential leaks originated by Mr. Comey and provide to author Michael Schmidt dating back to 1993.”

Schmidt is a New York Times reporter who has broken a number of stories about the ongoing Trump-Russia probe, as well as about memos that Comey wrote after his meetings earlier this year with Trump.

After he was fired by Trump on May 9, Comey leaked those memos to a friend, Columbia University Law School professor Daniel Richman. At Comey’s direction, Richman read portions of the memos to Schmidt. Comey testified last month that he leaked the memos in order to force the appointment of a special counsel.

Rosenstein did just that days later.

One memo relayed to Schmidt discussed Comey’s Feb. 14 discussion with Trump about Michael Flynn, who had been fired as Trump’s national security director the day before.

Comey said that Trump asked him to back off of an investigation of Flynn.

The special counsel should also look into leaks of classified information, including the unmasking of Trump administration officials, by the Obama administration, the Republicans say. The letter suggest that the leak probe should focus on Comey, Lynch, former national security adviser Susan Rice, and former United Nations Amb. Samantha Power.

The Republicans, led by Virginia Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the committee’s chairman, also want the special counsel to investigate the FBI’s reliance on an anti-Trump dossier created by Fusion GPS, an opposition research firm that was working for an ally of Clinton’s.

The FBI used the dossier to form the basis of part of its investigation into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Kremlin.

“You have the ability now to right the ship for the American people so these investigations may proceed independently and impartially.

The American public has a right to know the facts — all of them — surrounding the election and its aftermath,” the Republicans state in their letter.

Well Joe I hate to be a party pooper but I'll believe it when I see it
and if it achieves the same results as the Benghazi investigation I'll
know the swamp is alive and well.

 

[SheriffJoe]

Benghazi didn't have a special prosecutor. Should have, but did not.

So what? Gowdy is as big of a bulldog as they come and even he succumbed to the swamp mentality.

Yep.

To be fair, Gowdy was under the boot of Paul RINO.

As special prosecutor with full anatomy, I'd be willing to give Gowdy another chance.

Fair enough. The problem I have is when I get disappointed I rarely go back for seconds.

Rep. Steve King Calls for Full Investigations Into Obama, Clinton, Comey, Soros, Lynch, and Others (VIDEO)

Carter Aug 1st, 2017 4:36 pm 346 Comments

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) addressed Congress last Thursday in support of legislation that requires the Attorney General to turn over documents regarding former FBI Director James Comey’s involvement in various controversial cases.

The legislation passed 16-13 with King voting in favor of it. King addressed Congress with an impassioned and detailed inquiry/speech. The partial transcript can be read below.

​

King opens by addressing Obama’s meddling in foreign elections, specifically that of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu:

“One of the things I would say to that is that I listen to the gentleman from Tennessee address this subject matter and raise his voice pretty strongly about the allegations of Obama versus Russians, versus Putin, I would make a couple of points on this, one is: it’s pretty clear that the Obama administration sent their people over to Israel to work against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, pretty much openly, significant dollars invested in that campaign over there. The President of the United States with at least the moral support of the people that had worked for him in the country of Israel, seeking to shift the results of the election against the seated Prime Minister [Netanyahu], then the gentleman did object to U.S. tax dollars being used . . .”

​

King then digs into the role of George Soros and his affiliates in other parts of the world:

“I just came back not that long ago from the Balkans where I sat in a place like Macedonia, and there I learned that the United States government, borrowing money from China and Saudi Arabia, had to be handed over somewhere at least five million dollars in contracts transferred through USAID into George Soros organizations that were used to manipulate elections in the Balkans, and that’s just particularly Macedonia, not including the neighboring countries that are there and some of that money was used to translate Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” into Macedonian to distribute the books and the rules for radicals and the actions of radicals were manifested within the election efforts in that part of the world, so I would say that the Obama administration is a long ways from clean on this as far as being involved in elections in other countries, not to mention little comments like the British if you vote Brexit you’re going to have to go to the back of the queue, so that’s the taxpayer dollars piece of this, but the long string that we should be looking at with this investigation and special counsel that at our request here.”

​

King dug into the inconsistencies that are present in numerous cases involving Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch, Huma Abedin, and others commenting:

“[This scandal] goes clear back Huma Abedin [amd] Anthony Weiner, 650,000 emails, which we still have access to, and the question that was pre-answered to us by James Comey, which is there was nothing to see there, we did a fast software search of 650,000 emails and in the case of Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner sharing laptop and sharing emails there was nothing new in 650,000 emails and what we’ve done in this Congress so far is just taken his word that, now it seemed fairly logical to take his word at the time until you examine the investigation that he conducted of Hillary Clinton, oh, by the way, it was a matter, the investigation that had Cheryl Mills, her chief of staff, as her chief counsel in the room with Hillary Clinton and both of them had a plea bargain of some kind and they were exempted from prosecution for some . . . by limited terms, but in any case, when you have this chief of staff who is a subject of investigation, too, there as counsel to the person who is the subject of the investigation and we ask under oath, and I ask these questions of Loretta Lynch and Comey under oath, and that is: ‘Where’s the copy of the transcript? Where’s the audio files? Where’s the video files? Who was in the room?’”

​

King then breaks down the inconsistencies relevant to James Comey’s testimonies and comments about the various cases:

​

“We don’t have the answers to any of that except, “no, if there were notes taken, we don’t know whose they are or where they are, if there was any transcript of the deposition, then that doesn’t exist either, neither do the tapes of either audio or video,” this looks like on its face a sham investigation, plus they destroyed a tremendous amount of information, at least 30,000 emails, crushed hard drives, bought BleachBit, hired outside contractors to scrub the emails up, and we’re to take James Comey’s word for this that wasn’t enough substance there to bring a prosecution even though a year ago, July 5th, James Comey delivered 15 minutes of the summary of a prosecution that was completely convincing to me until they got down to the last couple sentences of that presentation, which is, “well, we can’t prove intent,” curiously, there’s no requirement for intent in the two statutes that appear to have been violated and furthermore, I look back int the records to the previous October and the previous April, Barack Obama stated into the news media record, he said Hillary Clinton would never intend to put our national security at risk Hillary Clinton would never intend to harm America’s security, that’s October and April, the previous October and April, well, James Comey latched onto that word, “intend”, and they made up new law and gave Hillary Clinton an exemption for this lack of intent that they said they couldn’t prove, which is absolutely proven by the facts that he delivered to us in the summary that day and that there is evidence for . . .”

[Dave007inVegas]

I love King's passion and he lays out a convincing argument.
My fear is he's pissing in the wind as I'm convinced the swamp
is mightier than the law of the land.

 

[SheriffJoe]

Fuck every one of them - they belong in jail for a very long time!

Never heard of Rep King from Ia, but I sure hope we hear from him again. That was a masterful synopsis with new info.

How about the Rules for Radicals supplied by Obama's boys, translated.

Question is, was anybody listening?

If history is any indication I doubt it.

The Mooch claimed that Bannon might be able to show 'em some shortcuts, if you know what I mean and I think you do

 

[SgtLanquel]

Yep.

To be fair, Gowdy was under the boot of Paul RINO.

As special prosecutor with full anatomy, I'd be willing to give Gowdy another chance.

Full anatomy helpful when sucking one's own dick, according to Bannon

 

[SgtLanquel]

Never heard of Rep King from Ia, but I sure hope we hear from him again.

No worries, he is pretty well entrenched as one of U.S. Congress biggest blowhards since the early Aughts. Big backer of the Obama Birther movement......pretty much just another 68 year old giving finger wagging lectures to the 80% of U.S. citizens who are younger and smarter - as a whole - than him.

In that, he is fraternal pals with probably 150 or more U.S. Congress critters from both sides of the aisle. Good news is that generation is being methodically replaced a bit more every 24 months.

Hang tight. Our country is as Great as it's ever been and will only continue to be greater as long as we reduce the time we each spend listening to those who tell us how fucked the USA is

Drawing a blank. Need more hints.

JULIAN ASSANGE: I investigated both presidential candidates — Hillary was the only one with corrupt ties to Russia

[SheriffJoe]

Funny how all the Assange leaks stopped after Seth Rich was murdered. Funny how that works...another total coincidence I'm sure!

Democrats are LAW-LESS because Republicans are BALL-LESS!

Democrats are LAW-LESS because Republicans are BALL-LESS! :missingte

I find myself laughing at that and it's not funny. Go figure.
