GOP congressman warns Justice Department faces crackdown over Clinton probe: Our patience is wearin

GOP congressman warns Justice Department faces crackdown over Clinton probe: ‘Our patience is wearing thin’

Florida Republican who’s helping President Donald Trump undermine the special counsel probe told Fox News that lawmakers are planning more intense scrutiny of the FBI.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has described special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation as a “coup d’état” against Trump, and he co-sponsored a non-binding resolution in November calling for the former FBI director to resign from the probe over alleged bias.

Snip,,,,,,,,,

“You have to wonder if the FBI no longer trusted the Department of Justice as a consequence of the tarmac meeting between (then-Attorney General) Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton,” Gaetz continued. “Why would the FBI allow the Department of Justice to then control access to people and access to evidence that they would need in this particular case?”

The congressman also took aim at deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe, whom Republicans have slurred as a partisan operative against the president.

And his statement that he is "mildly nauseated" at the thought he threw the election.
