Related: About this forumCongress to hold hearings in September to determine if Hillary Clinton committed perjury
By Bryan Renbaum
August 18, 2016
The House Judiciary Committee will hold hearings in September to determine whether Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton lied about her use of a private email server during testimony before the House Select Benghazi Committee last October.
Judiciary Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Oversight Chairman Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah.) co-wrote a legal memorandum Monday to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia suggesting inconsistencies between what the former Secretary of State told the Benghazi Committee and what she told FBI in July.
During a House Select Committee on Benghazi hearing on October 22, 2015, Secretary Clinton testified with respect to whether she sent or received emails that were marked classified at the time; whether her attorneys reviewed each of the emails on her personal email system; whether there was one or more servers that stored work-related emails during her time as secretary of state; and whether she provided all her work-related emails to the Department of State, the memorandum states.

This is what I was talking about in my thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028108711
Why can't we be as relentless in going after Trump on his calls for a foreign adversary to commit espionage and for the assassination of Hillary Clinton as Republicans have been in going after Hillary for Benghazi and her emails!

I want to see Chaffetz's emails. As taxpayers can't we demand those just to have him prove he's working for us, which he's not. Weasel.
It's exhausting like watching tennis and getting whiplash.
Stupidity wears me out.

(13,783 posts)I'm distressed at living in a country where 40% of the people would support Trump. I'd like to think that the other 60% (or 45% that are paying attention) are getting as tired of these trumped up (sic) charges as is warranted.

(12,448 posts)Exactly! Down ticket matters. We need to go after ALL Republicans who are continuing this bullshit, both about emails and Benghazi (although they appear to put that on hold for the moment). I want to completely embarrass them in November.

They have not accomplished a single thing except to spend taxpayer $$$ to try to find a scandal that they can stick on Hillary. This one won't work either.
