You are sure to recall that during the presidential election, there was a lot of talk about Hillary Clinton and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. This is a committee that is designed to go after government officials that have broken the law. Notably, Trey Gowdy and Jason Chaffetz reside on this board, and are well-known for their vicious work during the Clinton case.
The case? Hillary put the entire nation in jeopardy with her decision to use a private email server, delete thousands and thousands of emails despite being told not to, and involved the State Department in several pay to play schemes through her Clinton Foundation.
In other words, she is someone that should be spending her time in a jail cell. Several people were concerned that her case would be dropped moving into the New Year. However those fears have now vanished.
Jason Chaffetz is the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, and has just announced that President Donald Trump instructed him and the Committee to pursue every available avenue they deem appropriate. Trump has made it clear that putting the safety of the American people at risk like Hillary did is well deserving of punishment.
Chaffetz said that the conversation between President Trump and himself took place after the 2017 GOP retreat in Philadelphia. This was also his second time ever speaking with the president in person.
The Utah Republican spoke to the committee saying, “He came up to me and said, ‘you do a great job. You do a great job,’ which of course I agreed with. Then he said, ‘listen, I understand that I am the President. You have a job to do. You do oversight. Don’t slow down. You go after everything you want to go after. You look at everything you want to look at.’”
President Trump made it clear during the debates that he was going to appoint a special prosecutor in the case against Hillary Clinton. Newsflash: that time has now come.
Chaffetz continued, “If you sat there and heard what he said to me about pursuing oversight of the government and the function that we fulfill, you’d be pretty inspiring, and it was inspiring to me. For him to convey the message, ‘don’t slow down, do your job, there’s a lot to get after with the government,’ I think that’s a good message.”
Again, this is just adding to the fact that Hillary is going to face some serious battles with the House Oversight Committee. Chaffetz has already said that he will continue to investigate her use of a primary email server while in charge of the State Department.
“Just because there was a political election doesn’t mean it goes away.” He also called the classified emails that surfaced on the server “the largest breach of security in the history of the State Department.”
If you couple that with all the WikiLeaks emails that had come out during the days leading up to the election, you can clearly see that Hillary was using this to gain a political advantage. A lot of people that were donating to her Foundation did so because she had promised some sort of political favor.
Again, she put the security of the country at risk because of her decision to use a private server. Not only did she do that, but she actively tried to say that it wasn’t a big deal as other people had done that, like Colin Powell.
No, Powell used a personal email account that was used for unclassified materials, like lunch runs or anything related to that. Hillary actively put the safety and security of the country at risk because of her decision, and she should suffer the consequences for it.
Actions have consequences, and putting the safety of the nation at risk is a pretty big action. Therefore, it requires a big consequence. The other thing to realize is that there is no way that Hillary can be saved. There were fears that former President Barack Obama would have pardoned Hillary over this. Now that he is out of office, there is no way that she can be saved. We’re finally going to see justice!
Also, one of Hillary and Bill Clinton’s global foundations was shut down mere months after she lost the election. That is just further proof that she was using it as a way to get political favors. Now that she isn’t in office, how can she promise those favors?
Not to mention that Hillary’s other foundation is still being investigated by the FBI in several different states. There is a lot going on for the former Secretary of State, and absolutely none of them are any good for her. I wouldn’t be surprised if the FBI placed charges against her for her “charity.”
Didnt he come out against trump on something recently
More liberal heads explode today.
I really think he’s doing the Saul Alinsky overload. They have no time to get upset about one thing, because there’s something new the next day. :)
But the headlines this morning is she is making a comeback with her new book.
Surely that is more important than her damn emails. </sarc>
Interesting that Obuma didn’t grant her a pardon.
I sure hope this is true. I am so pleased Trump is our president. God has given us a chance but we have to put in the work to help turn our country around.
I don’t think the President ordered Congressmen to do anything. More likely, he made clear his support for their work.
That came to me yesterday.
Be nice if the found out who was behind the apparent Arkancide ... for a change.
I have yet to see a single email from or to Hillary about Chelsea’s taxpayer funded wedding from money grifted from the Clinton Foundation or yoga.
Not a one.
“Go nuclear.”
Attack Trump and he will punch back.
The Dems need to know that two can tango - lock her up. Schumer, DeBlasio, etc, we’re coming for you next.
I’m not so interested in the server, I’m interested in bribery. They should go after that hard.
Is this an attempt by the Leftist media to rev up the Democrats who are failing in their effort to block the appointment of Sen. Sessions as A.G.?
If true justice is served Hillary, Huma and Cheryl Mills should be arrested and tried for their list of crimes that endangered the security of this country. Instead, a sailor who took six pictures of the sub he was on, who reported his “crime” after he realized it was against the rules, sits in prison and misses his first child’s first year of life. Now THAT is the height of injustice. (And surely Pres. Trump should pardon this sailor.)
I think the FBI is conducting that investigation.
The article does not ring true......I, for one, will be checking
for other sources.
It’s already war. The left is already massing its forces to push Trump out of office. Go after her.
