Dem Lawmaker Wears Hillary Pin During House Hearing On Clinton Email Probe (Shiela Jackson-Lee)

Sept. 28, 2016: Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee speaks at a House Judiciary Committee hearing. (CSPAN)

Wearing a candidate's campaign pin is hardly out of the ordinary this election season. But doing it while conducting congressional oversight at a hearing where that candidate's conduct is front-and-center -- that's another matter.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, raised eyebrows Wednesday when she showed up wearing a gold Hillary Clinton campaign pin to a House Judiciary Committee hearing dealing with the FBI probe regarding Clinton’s private email server.

The committee heard testimony from FBI Director James Comey on the agency’s decision not to pursue charges and a newly revealed set of controversial immunity deals given to Clinton’s staff.

Jackson Lee asked Comey questions while wearing the "H" campaign pin -- though the exchange left no doubt as to her leanings on the matter.

"[Republicans] want you to prosecute, or ask the DOJ to prosecute, Secretary Clinton regardless of the facts. So they’ve engaged in an almost daily ritual of holding hearings, desperately trying to tear down the investigation," she told Comey.

The House has guidelines restricting certain forms of campaign-related activity, but there is no apparent ban on wearing pins. However, while it is not unusual in the slightest for representatives to express their political beliefs on Capitol Hill, wearing campaign paraphernalia during an oversight hearing is more of a rarity.

It’s a message to Comey. Shut up or die.

"Sheila Jackson Lee and Cynthia McKinney should not be allowed to reproduce."

When I think of one of them, I always think of the other...too.

I think it’s more of a ‘troubled personality’ issue. This is old, but things don’t seem to have changed:

Not only does she hold the coveted democrat triple award [stupid, dumb and ugly] but I’d bet she hasn’t washed that head of hair since it got wound up like that. Probably full of gnats...

It’s ok. Someone told her it was the same pin Neil Armstrong wore on the moon.

You are talking about someone who demanded a copy of the photo of the American flag our astronauts placed on Mars.

She must also remove a mitten to count to three.

"She is the boss from hell," says one former assistant, a young black woman. "She treats everybody like her slaves. To give you an idea of what I thought my [time] with Sheila was like, it was a slave plantation, and she was the master."

I say dog s#!t because it really doesn’t have any uses. It doesn’t even make good fertilizer.

A box of rocks actually is useful, as projectiles, or agregate in concrete. Dog s#!t has no uses.

I’d kinda like to see Gowdy wear a “Hillary for prison 2016” pin at the next hearing.
