Chaffetz has turned into a mini Issa pretty much. He exists for the purpose of investigating Democrats only for any petty matter just to say that they are being investigated.
In the meantime, Chaffetz looks like the goober that he is. Losing is winning for this crowd apparently because they lose everything and yet they peacock around like they just won a World Series of some kind.

Hint; they aren’t trying to win, just smear and smear at a very intentioned time. Meanwhile, Donald Dipshit Trump is their leader. Awesome priorities eh.

He is the new Trey Gowdy.

When taken altogether, it would be pretty hard to prove she lied. We’re talking about more than 30,000 emails, some with long threads involving multiple contacts where confidentiality markings could have been buried really far down in a forward somewhere, thousands of different subject matters, and all on top of a very convoluted system involving differing levels of classification including information that was classified retroactively, after Clinton sent it. A very small percentage of her emails contained sensitive information, and it’s pretty easy to show how easy it would have been to not have known that somewhere buried in the thread was something sensitive. Negligent? Maybe, but we’ve been through all that. Unless there’s audio of Clinton laughing on a hot mic about how she totaly pulled one over on Congress, I’m not sure where this would go.

This would just be the continuation of the 25-year Clinton witch hunt that’s turned up nothing but wasted time and taxpayer dollars.

Interesting how the House has endless time and monies for these useless, wasteful and ongoing fishing expeditions and witch hunts, countless millions spent on ‘fart-in-the-wind’ repeal Obamacare votes, etc… but can’t spend a minute even debating sane gun laws that might actually reduce the murder and violence in this republic or pass legislation that might improve economic or educational or social conditions for its citizens. And almost all of these GOP hacks and destructive partisan obstructionists will be returned to Congress…and on and on and on it will go.

Yeah, you have time for this, while you don’t have time to pass a federal budget or vote on President Obama’s long-standing request for authority and resources to confront ISIS.

Your priorities are seriously screwed.

The apocalypse could be taking place as people died in the streets and the country burned, and I’m pretty sure you’d find Congressional Republicans using the opportunity to rifle through the Clinton’s dresser droors.

These people are loathsome scumbags of the highest order.

Kenny likes Hillary now. Years of investigating her taught him how much more he brings to the job than, say, Trump. Even says he’ll be voting for her. STRONGLY IMPLIES he’d be prepared to work for her administration.

I’m serious. Google away.

Is it perjurous to request a perjury investigation that is clearly a fraud from the beginning?

It is frivolous, that I do know. Plus, the partisan hack-o-meter is pegged in the red.
There ought to be a law against this level of abuse of authority and political malpractice.

Two Words, Chafe-itch: James Clapper.

I am shocked, shocked to find out that Chaffetz has made the time to write a letter to DoJ but not the time to start the investigation of congress’s handling of the Petraeus affair (ahem) that he also promised.

She didn’t lie. I don’t know what’s more troublesome. The fact that Clinton is held MORE accountable than any other person that has done exactly the same thing or the fact that sane American citizens parrot the Republican talking points with such ease. She didn’t ‘lie’. She was not ‘effectively indicted’ (as Jeb said last night) by Comey. She was slapped down and ‘put in her place’ by a man in public who had absolutely no authority or power to do so…and the rabid dogs in Congress lapped it up.

Did I miss the investigations into and hearings on Powell and Rice’s “server situation”??? And I don’t give a damn where Clinton’s server was located as opposed to theirs. They were all private servers and classified info went to them and therefore, we need to approach this chronologically. So Powell and Rice have obviously been brought before an investigative committee and grilled for, oh, at least 11 hours each, huh? Sorry I missed that!

A State Department review of the email
practices of the past five secretaries of state… found that [Colin}Powell
received two emails that were classified and that the "immediate staff"
working for [Condi] Rice received 10 emails that were classified.The information was deemed either “secret” or “confidential,” according to the report."Based
on the department’s responses and findings to date, additional
potential classified material and/or highly sensitive information not
intended for distribution may reside in the Department’s unclassified
paper and electronic archives associated with Secretaries Powell and
Rice and their respective staff," a memo about the report said.In
all the cases, however – as well as Clinton’s – the information was
not marked “classified” at the time the emails were sent, according to
State Department investigators.

Here’s another self serving GOP idiot who has helped to ruin any chance for them to make anything stick on Clinton by having too many phony charges. It’s become part of the election process for Republicans…False allegations. Never accepting any findings. The fault for the mess the country is in lies squarely in the R’s camp. Had they not tried to persecute Bill Clinton and nullify Obama, they might have been able to get something out of all these investigations on Hillary, like maybe a reprimand of sorts. Out of the three they went after, Hillary is the least likable. But no, they had to try and create an eternal scandal industry. Along with a book selling industry for these opportunists. I’m still for Trump, although maybe for different reasons than some might think, but I hate the GOP as much as I ever did. They had the chance to do the right thing when Obama was elected and work toward stabilizing the economy and creating meaningful banking reform, not to mention health care and they chose to obstruct and nullify him. The Dems deserve some blame for not backing Obama as much as they could and some of the cowardly blue dogs chose their careers over country, but the Republicans should go down in history for being almost directly resonsible for what’s happened.

What make it particularly funny are that

  1. the whole stupid hopeless thing is down to ONE SINGLE PIECE OF INFORMATION marked “Confidential” not even “Secret” embedded in one email comment in one single thread in the context of 30,000 plus emails over the course of almost 4 freaking years, AND which can’t be prosecuted by Comey (He’s already SAID he doesn’t make the calls.), AND which can’t be prosecuted AT ALL without DNI Clapper agreeing to release that information to the DoJ for prosecution purposes, which given today’s news, seems ludicrously unlikely; and

  2. Chaffetz’s lateness means he got SCOOPED by DNI Clapper’s response to Paul Ryan on the derpy request to stop granted HRC candidate briefings.

What’s NEXT, you may be asking? THIS >

Director Comey’s responding letter to Chaffetz. It’ll be a doozy, because Comey knows how bad he screwed up last week with his cheap shots at HRC for “extreme carelessness”.

Comey’s going to point out that the FBI does NOT decide on charges and prosecution, the DoJ decides. Comey’s going to tell Chaffetz that last week’s presser was a one-off, and that neither nor the FBI is going to tell Congress ANYTHING about what they’ll have done or have concluded or have recommended to DoJ.

That much I flat out guarantee will be in Comey’ reply. This part tho I’m guessing on, but I think it very much cold happen: Comey may well decide to spend some printer ink on reframing what he meant by difference between “gross negligence” in the US Code sense and “extreme carelessness” about HRC. He MAY note for Chaffetz’ edification that he’s been in touch with both the DNI and the State Department, and that both he and Chaffetz are fully aware of recent steps by each of those, and that the FBI is content that the concerns are being handled appropriately by the appropriate agencies.

Comey knows Chaffetz will consider bringing Comey back before his committee, and that he may well be questioned on this by the House Justice committee, goofy I Gotta A Plane To Catch Trey Trey Gowdy’s goofy Benghazi committee, and less likely one or two Senate committees or subs (tho frankly I don’t think Mitch McConnell is nearly so dumb as to do this; maybe something happens in the Senate because Cruz tries something, but McConnell and the Senate Majority Leadership group loathe Cruz, so I doubt it).

I fully intend to gloat like a Cheshire Cat when all this happens.

Oh, Jeb. We don’t use our words “effectively,” do we? Your use of the word “effectively,” as used in a couple of examples:

Jeb Bush was once “effectively” a good guv of Florida. Jeb Bush is “effectively” the GOPer nominee.

In other words, not at all.
