Three Republican House Oversight Committee members on Friday called for an investigation into former FBI Director James Comey and Special Counsel Robert Mueller for acting in a partisan manner and applying double standards when it came to the Obama and Trump administrations.
Reps. Jim Jordan (OH), Mark Meadows (NC), and Jody Hice (GA) said Comey misled the American people last year when he agreed to then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s request that he call an investigation into Hillary Clinton a “matter” instead of an investigation.
“He did it willfully. He did it intentionally. And he did it at the direction of Attorney General Loretta Lynch,” they wrote in a piece published on foxnews.com.
They also said Comey misled the American people in the early weeks of the Trump administration by “furthering the perception that President Trump was under investigation, when in fact he was not.”
“He again did this willfully and intentionally,” they wrote.
They also pointed out that Comey recently admitted having a friend leak one of his memos detailing a private conversation he had with Trump, after Trump fired him.
Comey admitted doing so to spark the appointment of a special counsel for the investigation into Russian interference and any collusion with the Trump campaign.
That person appointed was Robert Mueller — Comey’s “mentor and predecessor,” they wrote.
“The American people want justice to be blind. They want equal justice and equal protection for everyone. But Mr. Comey’s actions continue to call his impartiality, and the impartiality of the Holder and Lynch Justice departments, into question,” they said.
They pointed out that on May 7, 2014, the House passed a resolution calling for a special counsel to investigate the IRS targeting of conservatives for their political beliefs.

Another reason Clinton lost. Playing games with the law can come back to bite you at the ballot box.
...”YES!!! They finally stood up! There are only 3, but by God, there are 3, and that’s better than none! It’s about darn time!”...
Many times, when someone takes a stand for what is right, others will quickly follow. That is how the sheep are separated from the goats.
Wow! This is great news. I hope this helps to break the dam of silly Russia garbage.
Looks like our side was keeping our powder dry...before striking. Seems well-timed.
Koskinen is still heading the IRS.
WTF
WHY???????
Amen
They need to get on the Soros, Clinton, Ukranian axis of influence on the 2016 campaign. See Lee Stranahan on YouTube and Twitter for why it’s not all about the President.
So, what the hell took them so long to do this?
Wo ist Guildenstern? Next we'll be bringing Rosenthal and Marechal into this.
About time.
I humbly disagree. Fire Mueller, fire Rosenstein, fire McCabe and hire Rudy as special counsel to investigate the Clinton’s, Podesta, Lynch and every Clinton donor.
But to this I would add one more thing. Investigate Chelsea and her ties to the foundation. Ask for every donor record where countries got special attention. Ask for every piece of paper work for the last 8 years.
Someone has to go to prison. Chelsea is not yet experienced and is the weakest link.
Any Republican questioned by Mueller or his minions should refuse to provide any testimony other than their name - plead the 5th if necessary.
If pressed to justify such stonewalling, they can invoke Scooter Libby, who was railroaded into a prison sentence over nothing, and they can invoke the contention that the whole investigation is purely political, evidenced by the fact that 8 years of Obama shenanigans (Fast and Furious, Benghazi, IRS/Lois Lerner, etc) produced no special counsels, while one was sprung on Trump over nothing as he was practically walking in the White House door.
I will be praying non stop that this investigation is successful.
Finally!!! and to the negative eeyores here on the thread - this is a start and a very positive development so let’s get on board with some optimism.
AMEN!!! there-in lies our answer!
Of course we know Sessions blundered by recusing himself, but the next big question is why did the Deputy AG choose Mueller as special counsel? That was a knife to the heart of this administration.
Who’s the burden of proof on here? Whether he, Democrats, RINOs and media knows it or not, Mueller’s already discredited and totally conflicted. Any actions against Trump administration will look like persecution not prosecution. #PackUpGoHomeNow #IfYourHateDontWorkHateHarder!
Yes but it will force them to back off on Trump
Double standards when it came to the Obama and Trump administrations.
Media and dems still at a loss why Trump won thinks last 8 years was a win.
