Republicans are trying to save themselves by requesting that the DOJ and FBI investigate Hillary Clinton, James Comey, and other former DOJ officials.

ABC News tweeted:

The request is coming straight from Trump
Trump has been tweeting for days that Comey has committed crimes:


Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump
Comey drafted the Crooked Hillary exoneration long before he talked to her (lied in Congress to Senator G), then based his decisions on her poll numbers. Disgruntled, he, McCabe, and the others, committed many crimes!

The 11 House Republicans are the lackeys of Trump who are trying to pressure the DOJ into opening a second investigation that they can use to distract from the Mueller and Cohen investigation. Hillary Clinton has been investigated more than any former candidate in modern history. Republicans are trying to run on Hillary Clinton again because they are realizing that they are toast unless they can find a counter scandal that Trump can hide behind.

in their stupidity and malice they'll eventually force a splashy public investigation into Comey's subversion of our election. Hillary's would only produce the usual proof of innocence they always deny anyway.

End of discussion. They are doing what they ADMITTED to doing in 2016 - making up fake email and Benghazi shit to pump up their base and expand fund raising.

It's fucking money grab scheme - nothing more and nothing less.

never faced any consequences, but these fuckers are asking for investigations into political opponents who are now private citizens? This must be stopped.

One challenge for any Clinton-era investigation is that the statute of limitations on most federal felonies is five years, and Clinton left office in early 2013.
