Complete Headline: Republicans threaten PERJURY probe of Hillary Clinton over congressional testimony that 'nothing marked classified' was on her email server as committee chairman grills FBI director
The Republican chairman of a powerful congressional committee said Thursday that he will ask the FBI for a new criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton's classified email scandal, focusing on the possibility that she perjured herself in sworn testimony to Congress.
Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, asked FBI Director James Comey whether he had cause to charge her for lying in a statement she made to Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan during a 2015 hearing on the 2012 Benghazi terror attack.
'There was nothing marked classified on my emails, either sent or received,' Clinton said at the time.

lol
because she removed the classified markings!
Hey, you cowardly Pubes! Get back to me when the charges are filed. Otherwise, STUFF IT!
The GOP will huff and puff, pound their chest and trash talk.
Then end up doing what they always do...NOTHING!
(yawn)....Her husband pled GUILTY to perjury and it was barely a speedbump on his power-and-easy-chicks highway.
Realism? That’s what I call my cynicism too. But cynicism it is. Meanwhile, we have an election to win. Hearings won’t produce results in the litigational sense. But that’s not all that’s going on here. We need to woo ordinary people’s hearts and minds. This helps. That’s right, sometimes the stars align and RINOs actually help. I’ll take it.
One of the most annoying partisan midgets in DC. Since he is black he feels entitled to carry on like a jackass and obstruct and interfere. If I was the Republican chairman I would stifle him and make him cry. He must have a 60 IQ.
Lets not forget he is playing to his idiot constituents back home.....the idiots who keep returning him to Congress.
“Never underestimate the ability of Pubbies to overplay their hand.”
Agreed with one additional sentence.
Never underestimate the ability of the Pubbies to underplay their hand.
It’s a red herring. Of course her emails weren’t marked! Does anyone think that Hillary had emails that contained proper classified markings?
Her hand will look like Hillary’s (the one on the right) in a few years.
Does anyone really believe the clueless, gutless, spineless Republicans will do anything about Hillary’s obvious PERJURY? Fat chance. The Fix is In.
don’t ‘threaten’ sh*t.
JUST DO IT
We should be a bit careful on this.
As I understand it the markings that were found by the FBI were, according to Comey’s testimony, “Portion Markings”. Portion Markings are not the BIG BOLD classification markings that are included on the top and bottom of documents that are titled, for example: TOP SECRET/SCI.
Portion Markings are, instead, the little (U), (C), (S), (TS) or (TS/SCI) markings that are on every paragraph of classified documents. In this case the only ones that Comey claims were found were marked (C) indicating that the paragraph in question was considered CONFIDENTIAL.
This is not to excuse the oversight since the document in question would not have been marked as such unless it was indeed classified and that somewhere in the Government system the proper Page Level Marking were there. I suspect either Hillary or one her henchmen (are there henchwomen?) simply did a cut and paste from a classified document.
And, further, it is not to excuse the fact that some of the emails were classified at the TOP SECRET/SCI (Sensitive Compartmentalized Information) even if they bore no markings.
Hillary would be in jail for life if she were you or me.
it’s amazing to me that someone can be the secretary of state and not deal with a single classified email
Which, TECHNICALLY, is correct. ***NOTHING** is marked “Classified”. It’s marked “FOUO”, “Confidential”, “Secret”, or “Top Secret”.
This is Her Thighness’s version of “it depends on what your definition of ‘is’ is. . . “
Exactly. Republicans Threaten blah blah blah blah blah...
She just ‘misremembered’, like when she thought she landed under sniper fire and it turned out to be a little girl with flowers. No foul here...move along.
Yeah, they threaten a lot. Apparently just hoping to score points with us. But when have they ever shown any real backbone? When have they actually followed through on a “threat” to take action? Even rarer, when have they actually done this well enough to succeed? Sorry, GOPe are a bunch of toothless pussies IMHO deserving nearly as much scorn as the ‘rats.
So Comey says Hillary didn’t lie to the FBI. She lies to everyone, so that is hard to believe, Scooter Libby was jailed for giving an incorrect date in his testimony to Congress investigating the Valerie Plame hoax. Why are Democrat officials exempt from laws that Republicans must obey?
She perjured herself but she didn’t REALLY perjure herself because she was not under oath. No recordings, no transcripts and she was questioned by Comey’s underlings so that Comey couldn’t be blamed for anything. So both Hillary and Comey are off the hook. And why wasn’t she questioned moths ago rather than days before the case was rapped up?
The Republicans can keep emphasizing the words from Comey’s mouth “careless” “very careless” “reckless”. That doesn’t sound like a woman who is the most qualified for the office of President. Trump has done an ad for internet I hope he makes it into a tv ad.
