GOP ask for second Special Counsel to investigate Clinton, Obama and Comey etc

https://judiciary.house.gov/press-r...scope-special-counsel-muellers-investigation/

In their letter, the Judiciary Committee members express concern that the directive given to Special Counsel Robert Mueller is narrow in scope and many concerns arising out of the 2016 presidential election and its aftermath are not being investigated. The members call for the appointment of a second special counsel to investigate grave concerns such as former Attorney General Lynch’s directive to former FBI Director Comey to mislead the American people on the nature of the investigation into former Secretary Clinton; the FBI and Justice Department’s investigative decisions related to the Clinton email investigation, including the immunity deals given to potential co-conspirators; selected leaks of classified information that unmasked U.S. persons incidentally collected upon by the intelligence community; and the FBI’s reliance on “Fusion GPS” in its investigation of the Trump campaign, among many others issues.

And here we go.....

I think it's hard to reconcile, in one case you reach a complete conclusion, and on the other side you have not, I think that's a double standard there, to tell you the truth.

The whole point of that bullshit was to make something outta nothing so that Hillary would lose. She did. So what would this even accomplish? Republican voters got what they wanted, they couldn't give less of a shit about whatever happens to Hillary & Co. now.

Same party that rails against the very idea of the Fairness Doctrine always seems to contrive a way to artificially level shit out.

Both sides! Whatabout ___!?

Uh, why would they need a special counsel? None of those people are president or even in government. Just have the FBI do it.

Unless of course this is just a dumb stunt.

Muddying the waters of a continuing legit investigation into Russia ties to the President they desperately defend because if he goes the whole house of cards comes tumbling down.

We need to investigate the entire senate and house while we are at it.
That would be prudent. You get a special council, and you get a special council, and you get a special council. Everybody gets a special council!

Actually just throw everybody in jail now, save some time and money and lets have elections for every position in the gov't. Basically we need a do-over.

Deflection from Trump and more smoke into 2018.

They want to get as many members of the DNC looking as dirty as possible.

Hannity's Greatest Hits
  1. Then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch directing Mr. Comey to mislead the American people on the nature of the Clinton investigation;
  2. The shadow cast over our system of justice concerning Secretary Clinton and her involvement in mishandling classified information;
  3. FBI and DOJ's investigative decisions related to former Secretary Clinton's email investigation, including the propriety and consequence of immunity deals given to potential Clinton co-conspirators Cheryl Mills, Heather Samuelson, John Bentel and possibly others;
  4. The apparent failure of DOJ to empanel a grand jury to investigate allegations of mishandling of classified information by Hillary Clinton and her associates;
  5. The Department of State and its employees' involvement in determining which communications of Secretary Clinton's and her associates to turn over for public scrutiny;
  6. WikiLeaks disclosures concerning the Clinton Foundation and its potentially unlawful international dealings;
  7. Connections between the Clinton campaign, or the Clinton Foundation, and foreign entities, including those from Russia and Ukraine;
  8. Mr. Comey's knowledge of the purchase of Uranium One by the company Rosatom, whether the approval of the sale was connected to any donations made to the Clinton Foundation, and what role Secretary Clinton played in the approval of that sale that had national security ramifications;
  9. Disclosures arising from unlawful access to the Democratic National Committee's (DNC) computer systems, including inappropriate collusion between the DNC and the Clinton campaign to undermine Senator Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign;
  10. Post-election accusations by the President that he was wiretapped by the previous Administration, and whether Mr. Comey and Ms. Lynch had any knowledge of efforts made by any federal agency to unlawfully monitor communications of then-candidate Trump or his associates;
  11. Selected leaks of classified information related to the unmasking of U.S. person identities incidentally collected upon by the intelligence community, including an assessment of whether anyone in the Obama Administration, including Mr. Comey, Ms. Lynch, Ms. Susan Rice, Ms. Samantha Power, or others, had any knowledge about the ”unmasking" of individuals on then candidate-Trump's campaign team, transition team, or both;
  12. Admitted leaks by Mr. Comey to Columbia University law professor, Daniel Richman, regarding conversations between Mr. Comey and President Trump, how the leaked information was purposefully released to lead to the appointment of a special counsel, and whether any classified information was included in the now infamous ”Comey memos";
  13. Mr. Comey's and the FBI's apparent reliance on ”Fusion GPS" in its investigation of the Trump campaign, including the company's creation of a ”dossier" of information about Mr. Trump, that dossier's commission and dissemination in the months before and after the 2016 election, whether the FBI paid anyone connected to the dossier, and the intelligence sources of Fusion GPS or any person or company working for Fusion GPS and its affiliates; and
  14. Any and all potential leaks originated by Mr. Comey and provide to author Michael Schmidt dating back to 1993.
Sessions is largely already recused from investigating any of this and Rosenstein isn't gonna fall for it. The House committee is totally capable of investigating things itself, so this is dumb.

The Great American Mulligan.

That's not how it works GOP. You can't just broaden the investigation to all your political enemies with no idea what you're looking for just because you want to take heat off your orange turd.
