They need to ask her about her contact with Clinton

Absolutely. At a minimum, it gives the appearance of impropriety and horrible judgement on her part. Particularly, when you find out that steps were taken to keep the meeting secret. That, in and of itself, is an admission by the DOJ that the meeting had the appearance of impropriety, if not worse.

Then, the Attorney General needs to be grilled over the gross negligence standard and lack of need for intent in the legislation. She, of all people, should have seen Comey's specious arguments a mile away and realized that he was misapplying the law. Comey, to his credit, laid out a great gross negligence case before he stated wrongly that intent was needed. Get her to admit that interpreting the constitutionality of a statute is not her job nor the job of the FBI director but the job of the courts. If they are concerned about the gross negligence standard in that statute, they have just been handed the perfect case in which to raise that concern to the courts. However, the issue needs to be raised by the Hillary defense team and not the DOJ (although I suppose that they could file a friend of the court brief raising the concerns and in support of the defense's position). The ultimate call, however, lies with the court and her actions did NOTHING to resolve the issue. The statute is unchanged and remains open to the discretion of the future prosecutors and can be arbitrarily applied thanks to her inaction.

Great post and you are right on. The GOP needs to make it really uncomfortable for them. They have been given a gift and are being given gifts by patriots to make it easier for them. They better do something or others are going to step in and deal with it straight. Not the place to go but if necessary it must be done.
