House Judiciary Committee Asks For Second Special Counsel -- To Investigate Hillary Clinton

rugcat · Jul 27, 2017

"House Judiciary Committee Republicans call for a new special counsel to investigate Hillary Clinton, James Comey and Loretta Lynch"

"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 letter said. "For this reason, we call on you to appoint a second special counsel to investigate a plethora of matters connected to the 2016 election and its aftermath, including actions taken by previously public figures like Attorney General Loretta Lynch, FBI Director James Comey, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton."

The republican members of the house judiciary committee apparently believe that Bob Mueller is too busy wasting his time and resources on investigating the Trump administration. It's only fair that a new special counsel should be installed to investigate the real criminals – Hillary Clinton and her cohorts.

With Trump invariably taking all the oxygen out of the room and distracting us with flashy, irresistible bizarreness, let's not forget what the Republicans in Congress are like. They are more than just enablers; they are little Trump wannabes.

This is true, and I really think Trump is the destination they've been driving towards for years.

Yet people who aren't rich keep voting for them...

Of course they did.

Doesn't (my bolded) 'like' imply that this could drag in almost anybody who makes the enemies list? It could be show-trials ad infinitum.

This isn't wasting time, resources, and money?

Jfc. I wonder how many good, upstanding people who really could make a difference in government will be so put off by this, this BULLSHIT that they won't even consider getting involved. Which means the only people that bother will be exactly like the ones we've got now. Only worse.

Maybe the defeat of replacing the ACA tonight and the total Trump White House meltdown will give more Republicans the courage to stand up to the far right.

SHE LOST GET OVER IT

She lost and she has withdrawn gracefully from public life.

No United States president I have ever heard of until now ever wasted his precious time and energy scapegoating his defeated opponent after the election.
