House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz on Tuesday requested yet another Justice Department investigation of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton — this one focused on emails that a tech company staffer deleted in spite of a congressional committee’s request that they be preserved.
In the letter — addressed to the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Channing D. Phillips, and copied to Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch and FBI Director James B. Comey — the Utah Republican asks for an investigation to determine whether “Secretary Clinton or her employees and contractors violated statutes that prohibit destruction of records, obstruction of congressional inquiries, and concealment or cover up of evidence material to a congressional investigation.”
The request is based on an incident in which an employee for Platte River Networks — the company that at one time managed Clinton’s private email server — deleted an archive of Clinton emails, even though he had been asked to preserve them by the House Select Committee on Benghazi. The episode was revealed last week in documents made public by the FBI about its investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.
The FBI concluded in that case that while Clinton and her staffers were careless in how they handled classified information, no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges against them. Republican legislators have questioned that determination, waging an aggressive campaign to get the FBI to release more information about the probe while requesting new investigations.

Kabuki.
Another dog and pony show by the House Committee on Hindsight and Government Expansion
Yeah right as if Ryan will allow that
What difference, at this point, does it make?
Comey is in Hillary's uh, pocket right next to the cough drops. And, if he does not squish the results of any investigation, for sure Loretta Lynch would.
Just the spheroid lacking republicans trying to make us think they are doing something, while they sit on their thumbs.
first they beat the horse to death.
then beat it cause it died.
then beat it cause it wont get up.
No balls.... have not been able to find their butts with both hands and a TV camera.
America is ready for an indictment and imprisonment
of the GOP which has been complicit from Benghazi,
through the IRS scandal, to every crime that
they PRETEND to care about.
GOP = GAVE OBAMA POWER party.
Thank you for referencing that article Theoria. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.
Hasn’t corrupt Congress successfully stalled further investigations of Hillary to the point where Congress is conveniently out of time to disqualify Hillary as presidential candidate before election day?
Patriots need to support Trump with a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress.
The issue here is the guy had knowledge of the request and notwithstanding he deleted. No doubt he’ll be the fall guy. Nuremberg defence won’t help. The guy when interviewed by the FBI admitted to it. There really shouldn’t be a letter of request. There should have been charges in the first place. Maybe he would have sold somebody out of the Clinton cabal assuming he would have survived the hit put out on him by the Clinton crime syndicate.
“The Utah Republican asks for an investigation to determine whether “Secretary Clinton or her employees and contractors violated statutes that prohibit destruction of records, obstruction of congressional inquiries, and concealment or cover up of evidence material to a congressional investigation.”
How many times do Lynch and Comey have to say “no”? What’s amazing here is there is no Deep Throat informant. No high ranking law enforcement type feeding info to the press. As much crap as seems to be going on, has to be someone somewhere .
You don’t need the DOJ to do *your* job, nitwit.
Yep.
Horse pudding.
iow, we have suffered a coup, we have no law, and no country..all that is coming is war and pain..
Very clever—ask the foxes to verify the chicken count.
That is why they call the Republicans the stupid party.
Seriously?
Good heavens these folks are a waste of time.
Sounds like Hans Brix writing Kim Jong-Il an angry letter.
Whip the horse’s eyes and make him see.
all that is coming is war and pain..
And that certainly is coming.
People act like peace was a natural state,
when in reality it’s just the time between wars.
The Iranians have one saying I like...
The only reason to be happy is that bad news travels slowly.
I am sure that the Justice department will get right on that.
