Title: Republicans call for second special counsel to probe Clinton, Lynch and more
Post by: Lucifer on July 28, 2017, 10:35:29 AM
OK, let's see what the DoJ is really made of.  If they move on this and appoint a Special Counsel, then Sessions is earning his keep.

If they ignore this, then it's time for a new AG as well as a new deputy AG.

They delivered an extensive, 14-point request for what a second special counsel should cover, including:

Allegations that former Attorney General Loretta Lynch instructed then-FBI Director James Comey to downplay the nature of the Clinton email probe
The FBI and DOJ’s decisions in the course of the email probe, including controversial immunity deals with Clinton aide Cheryl Mills and others
The State Department’s involvement in deciding which Clinton emails to make public
Disclosures in WikiLeaks-released emails regarding the Clinton Foundation and, according to the letter, “its potentially unlawful international dealings”
Connections between Clinton officials and “foreign entities” including Russia and Ukraine
Revelations in hacked Democratic National Committee emails about “inappropriate” coordination between the DNC and Clinton campaign against Bernie Sanders’ Democratic primary campaign
The “unmasking” of Americans in intelligence documents and potentially related leaks of classified information
Comey’s admitted leak of details of his conversations with President Trump
The FBI’s “reliance” on controversial firm Fusion GPS, which was involved in the questionable anti-Trump “dossier”

“Our call for a special counsel is not made lightly,” the lawmakers wrote. “We have no interest in engendering more bad feelings and less confidence in the process or governmental institutions by the American people. Rather, our call is made on their behalf. It is meant to determine whether the criminal prosecution of any individual is warranted based on the solemn obligation to follow the facts wherever they lead and applying the law to those facts.”

This is now bolstered greatly by the actual criminal arrest and investigation of the IT man in charge of much of the DNCs email and servers. Kind of thing that can really unravel if the press were doing its job.

 The press (MSM) will ignore and try to bury this.

Yep.  They are so predictable it is laughable.

That's a mighty big "IF".

I have exactly ZERO confidence this goes anywhere, while the Mueller investigation will continue and grow until they find something, anything, to hamstring Trump.

Face it, we have an entrenched deep-state full of apparatchiks who are self-interested partisan hacks that will stop at nothing to maintain their power.

And as demonstrated by the failure of Congress to accomplish anything in the last 6 months, we can't count on the Republicans.

Our government is out of control.

The only thing that will come out of the Mueller investigation is some great 2020 campaign adds for the Democrats and in the meantime we have a gaggle of lawyers and staffers making good money off our tax dollars.


Isn't America a great place!!
