House GOP lays out case for Clinton perjury over emails

The smoking gun. She should be arrested, tried and executed (not necessarily in that order).

"Two top House Republicans accused Hillary Clinton of appearing to have lied to Congress, laying out a case Monday they said could sustain perjury charges against the former State Department secretary for her use of a secret email server.

Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte and Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz said the evidence collected by the FBI during its investigation of Mrs. Clinton’s email use contradicts what she herself told Congress in testimony last year.

Mrs. Clinton testified that she never sent or received information marked classified, but FBI Director James Comey said there were three such documents that were marked at the time.

Mrs. Clinton also said her lawyers “went through every single email” in deciding which ones to return to the government to comply with open-records laws, but Mr. Comey said that wasn’t true, and in fact the lawyers only used search terms and subject lines.

The two chairman also said the FBI showed Mrs. Clinton didn’t provide all of her work-related emails to the government, and also had more than one server that stored her messages.

“Although there may be other aspects of Secretary Clinton’s sworn testimony that are at odds with the FBI’s findings, her testimony in those four areas bears specific scrutiny in light of the facts and evidence FBI Director James Comey described in his public statement on July 5, 2016 and in testimony before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on July 7, 2016,” the chairmen said in a letter referring the case to U.S. Attorney Channing D. Phillips, the chief federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C.
…

"The Justice Department has gone to great lengths to protect Mrs. Clinton during this presidential campaign, refusing to pursue charges that she mishandled classified information, and fighting against forcing her to testify under oath in a court case about her emails. The department also reportedly refused an FBI recommendation to investigate the Clinton Foundation."

They can probably get a yuuuuuuuuuge discount for group therapy.

It's hard to understand the strategy here: I'm sure that Goodlatte and Chaffetz expect Clinton to win the election.


I assume that if they could secure an indictment before 8 Nov they'd pursue it, but it would be seen as such a blatantly partisan attempt to sway the election that I'm not sure they would get much traction from it. Perhaps they hope to lay the groundwork for impeachment, but, although the House might vote for it, the Senate would never convict.

Honestly, I think that they are suffering from some rare form of OCD which prevents them from quitting with the nonsense of trying to "get" Clinton.

People that yell out, 'YOU LIE!' in the middle of the SOTU clearly can't control themselves - it's a condition. They should have our pity...

Benghazi and email and vague "lies."

Such worthlessness.

Not a BIT of it substantiated, and yet their candidate lies weekly, gets called for it. And they don't care.

Have they LOST their minds?

Desperate times call for desperate acts.

She did lie about the email. Even the FBI clearing her claimed as much. Mishandled classified email. The whole thing is embarrassing, but it starts with Hillary Clinton's inability to get in front of the "controversy."
