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.

Bravo!!!
About time Republicans fight back against this WITCH HUNT!!!
Glad to see it, but will it persuade Ryan and the GOPe?
Unfortunately, it is likely that nothing will come of their effort. Law is selectively applied in this still lawless land.
About time!
Let’s have a dual!!!
I noticed the selective application of the law, most profoundly, during the Obama Administration. Although the Bushes also did their share of cherry picking rules, especially those involving illegal immigration.
A few are starting to get it.
Add RosenKrantz...
total Collusion....
Thumbs up for the Freedom Caucus.
“Negativity” or realism? I’d say the latter. When has a congressional investigation anything productive in the last 10 years?
I want things to change; however, many in the gop give me reason to question if they only practice kabuki. The capons and quislings do not have a good record in that regard.
Drain the swamp.
Careful what you ask for
Might end up facing Hillary at 20 paces with ash trays...
Hillary known to hurl an ash tray at hypersonic speeds with a deadly aim.
well, it’s about time they put some firewood in the stove
Trump is boxed in either way. The die is cast. If he fires Mueller, its Defcon 6, and if Mueller is allowed to proceed, charges against Trump are sure to be found one way or another. And then there will be howls for his impeachment. Republican meltdown in mid-term elections has been the DNC plan all along.
