A top Republican senator has asked for a Justice Department watchdog to independently look into any conflicts of interests in Hillary Clinton investigations.
The chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee wants an independent watchdog to oversee the investigation into Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton because he is concerned about a “conflict of interest” between her and Justice Department officials between her and Justice Department officials.
"The American people deserve to know whether political considerations have improperly affected the handling of this inquiry and understand why key officials failed to recuse themselves to protect the public’s confidence in a fair and impartial inquiry based on merits and the evidence rather than on politics," wrote Sen. Chuck Grassley (R) of Iowa in a letter to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz on Wednesday. "An independent, objective, non-partisan review is vital."
In the letter, Mr. Grassley raises the ties the Clintons have throughout the Justice Department and much of Washington. The Clintons’ critics have seized on these relationships in the past, claiming they have led to a thin investigation into her use of a private server. As the FBI resumes its probe into Clinton, could an independent review be a solution to assuring Clinton’s opponents and the public any investigation is fair and honest?

Do chipmunks act nervous?
What we need are guillotines
Ya think????
I’m more concerned about the Weiner probe.
What is needed are fully-charged cattle prods! I’m from Wisconsin; ask me how I know, LOL!
Does Senator Grassley really expect the “Justice Department” to be apolitical and unbiased?
If you let their carcasses rot off the noose, you get the same effect.
The day after inauguration, Trump should clean house at the DoJ. Fire every person appointed by Obama, and look closely at the career bureaucrats.
Comey should be given the option to resign, or be fired. Trump will take a lot of heat for doing it, but it has to be done.
After the DoJ and FBI are staffed again, reopen the investigations. This time, no immunity for anyone: indict them, and offer a plea deal for testimony. If they don't take the deal, put them on trial and impose the maximum sentence.
Once a few are sentenced to hard time, the rest will walk all over Hillary for a better plea deal.
Would this include the Weiner probe?
Does a fat dog fart?
I would think that Hillary, who participated in the investigation of Nixon, would not have a logical argument to stand on if she were to object to a special prosecutor.
Answer is yes.
Of course there should be be a special prosecutor! But the question is moot. Hillary will be pardoned by Obama, win or lose.
I was going with a simple yes we need a special prosecutor until I saw your suggestion...after a fair trial ofcourse.
At the rate things are going, Bill and Hillary Clinton could be essentially spending the rest of their lives in prison.
Give Bill a fresh box of Cuban cigars and he’s real good at probing.
It's been kept quiet, but the Department of Justice and the Selective Service System were merged not long ago. It's informally known as the Selective Justice System. They select their cronies to work there and who gets "justice".
Of course. Congress will be too busy gutting the government.
