Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, on Wednesday said he does not think the threshold has been met to appoint a special counsel to look into matters related to Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party.
You can investigate something without special counsel, Gowdy said on Fox News. There is a threshold that has to be met, and I dont think it has been met.
During a House Judiciary hearing on Tuesday, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) grilled Attorney General Jeff Sessions about what it would take to get a special counsel investigation into the so-called Trump dossier and various Clinton-related accusations.

Lying hypocrites. Lincoln made a big mistake, the South wasn't worth saving. He should have let the Blacks solve the problem. They would have had access to plenty of support from the North.

committee watching in horror as he was yelling at her because of something I just didn't
get.

He knows this has been hashed, rehashed and re-rehashed already, and knows what would be found by a new investigation. He just wants the spotlight on that pointy head of his.
