Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R., Utah) remains intent on finishing the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server and lambasted the State Department on Wednesday for delaying the release of relevant documents.
"We need to understand the gravity of this. There is a reason the State Department, years after, is still holding off on giving us documents," Chaffetz told Fox News. "The more they want to hold them, the more curious we are on what's in them."
Chaffetz, who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has committed to further probe Clinton's email activity even after she lost the presidential election to Donald Trump.
Chaffetz said he believes the investigation will continue well into 2018 and charged that up to 300 people at the State Department may have mishandled classified information.
He called the department "dreadfully slow" in turning over about 30,000 additional documents relevant to the probe.
The FBI investigated Clinton's email practices last year to determine if she mishandled classified material over her private server while serving as secretary of state. The agency eventually recommended that no criminal charges be filed against Clinton. The Justice Department said that it accepted the FBI's findings.
Chaffetz has repeatedly pushed to continue the investigation following President Trump's inauguration.
On Feb. 16, the Utah Republican sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions asking the Justice Department to prosecute Bryan Pagliano, a former State Department IT technician who set up Clinton's private email server in her home.
Pagliano failed to comply with multiple congressional subpoenas.
The letter was attacked by the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D., Md.), who said Chaffetz's efforts were a waste of time and resources.
These so-called “leaders” have the digits they’re so proudly displaying stuck up their considerable @$$holes. And enjoying it.
Why not simply withhold funding to the US Department of State until they comply..?
I do not agree. Chaffetz is a rare congressmen who says it like it is. He does not speak DC gibberish.
"same boss as the old boss" comes to mind. I am slowly running out of patience and hope of this swamp drain concept and bringing to justice the criminals of the past and present administration (Obama holdovers). This administration is at the slug speed that is just fine with the gutless RINO GOP and the liberal scum party.

Dear Mr. Congressman, why don’t you withhold their pay? also, if that doesn’t work, why don’t you go over to State with a couple of US Marshalls and arrest the first employee that tells you no. Finally, have you asked the Justice Department why they have not moved on your subpoena request? It’s been 30 days now, what’s the delay? Really Congressman, are you doing your job? or are you just blowing smoke?
NONE of this cultists “investigations” has resulted in any communist democrat spending even 10 seconds in prison.
Get a real job Chaffetz you Kolobian douchebag.
