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

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.
