You are sure to recall that during the presidential election, there was a lot of talk about Hillary Clinton and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. This is a committee that is designed to go after government officials that have broken the law. Notably, Trey Gowdy and Jason Chaffetz reside on this board, and are well-known for their vicious work during the Clinton case.
The case? Hillary put the entire nation in jeopardy with her decision to use a private email server, delete thousands and thousands of emails despite being told not to, and involved the State Department in several pay to play schemes through her Clinton Foundation.
In other words, she is someone that should be spending her time in a jail cell. Several people were concerned that her case would be dropped moving into the New Year. However those fears have now vanished.
Jason Chaffetz is the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, and has just announced that President Donald Trump instructed him and the Committee to pursue every available avenue they deem appropriate. Trump has made it clear that putting the safety of the American people at risk like Hillary did is well deserving of punishment.
Chaffetz said that the conversation between President Trump and himself took place after the 2017 GOP retreat in Philadelphia. This was also his second time ever speaking with the president in person.
The Utah Republican spoke to the committee saying, “He came up to me and said, ‘you do a great job. You do a great job,’ which of course I agreed with. Then he said, ‘listen, I understand that I am the President. You have a job to do. You do oversight. Don’t slow down. You go after everything you want to go after. You look at everything you want to look at.’”
President Trump made it clear during the debates that he was going to appoint a special prosecutor in the case against Hillary Clinton. Newsflash: that time has now come.
Chaffetz continued, “If you sat there and heard what he said to me about pursuing oversight of the government and the function that we fulfill, you’d be pretty inspiring, and it was inspiring to me. For him to convey the message, ‘don’t slow down, do your job, there’s a lot to get after with the government,’ I think that’s a good message.”
Again, this is just adding to the fact that Hillary is going to face some serious battles with the House Oversight Committee. Chaffetz has already said that he will continue to investigate her use of a primary email server while in charge of the State Department.
“Just because there was a political election doesn’t mean it goes away.” He also called the classified emails that surfaced on the server “the largest breach of security in the history of the State Department.”
If you couple that with all the WikiLeaks emails that had come out during the days leading up to the election, you can clearly see that Hillary was using this to gain a political advantage. A lot of people that were donating to her Foundation did so because she had promised some sort of political favor.
Again, she put the security of the country at risk because of her decision to use a private server. Not only did she do that, but she actively tried to say that it wasn’t a big deal as other people had done that, like Colin Powell.
No, Powell used a personal email account that was used for unclassified materials, like lunch runs or anything related to that. Hillary actively put the safety and security of the country at risk because of her decision, and she should suffer the consequences for it.
Actions have consequences, and putting the safety of the nation at risk is a pretty big action. Therefore, it requires a big consequence. The other thing to realize is that there is no way that Hillary can be saved. There were fears that former President Barack Obama would have pardoned Hillary over this. Now that he is out of office, there is no way that she can be saved. We’re finally going to see justice!
Also, one of Hillary and Bill Clinton’s global foundations was shut down mere months after she lost the election. That is just further proof that she was using it as a way to get political favors. Now that she isn’t in office, how can she promise those favors?
Not to mention that Hillary’s other foundation is still being investigated by the FBI in several different states. There is a lot going on for the former Secretary of State, and absolutely none of them are any good for her. I wouldn’t be surprised if the FBI placed charges against her for her “charity.”
Shortly before she lost the election, she did transfer that 1.8 billion dollars to Dubai. That keep niggling away in the back of my mind. Could Dubai be her bolthole?
Dear Mr. President;
I believe the phrase you’re looking for is “special prosecutor”.
Gotta’ love that picture of Bill, giving the side eye to four of the many women whom he sexually insulted showing up at the Trump/Hillary debate.
I agree with you ; letting that ts/sci info sit unprotected & emailing with Blumenthal, who then had his PC hacked by foreign countries, is a criminal act.
Thanks, green eyes!

Nikos, check what green eyes said about the classified info.
Welcome. So much going on hard to keep track. LOL
I thought Gowdy retired?
The bribery is a killer, but the server is also strictly verboten, and rightly so. Just look at the security angle: how else does classified State Department info turn up on the computer of a well-known pedophile???And what might foreign governments not learn about US encryption by reading so much classified data in the clear, and possibly being able to correlate it with separately intercepted encrypted version of the same message?
And on top of that there is the non-trivial scofflaw evasion of the Freedom of Information Act which motivated Hillary to set up the server in the first instance in order to avoid accountability for Hillary’s abuse of her State position - IOW, the bribery you rightly decry required the private server.
I don’t disagree, but the public doesn’t understand that, they do understand theft.
My #1 goal for Trump is to get rid of the corruptocrats. Like Hitlery. If he can drain the swamp, all the other goals fall into place practically by themselves.
It’s the corruption that brings us illegals.
It’s the corruption that brings us terrorism.
It’s the corruption that sends jobs overseas.
It’s the corruption that gives us sky high tax rates.
It’s the corruption that turns our schools into indoctrinations centers and fails to teach our children.
It’s the corruption that fans the flames of racism.
It’s the corruption that subverts honest voting.
It’s the corruption that sells out our security to foreign enemies.
It’s the corruption that puts our military in danger without a purpose.
It’s the corruption that drains our savings and manipulates our financial markets.
That’s just for starters.
If I were President, I’d be gracious and give Hitlery a pass for political dirty tricks, but I’d lock her away forever for corruption and treason.
Maybe he just made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
Trump needs to do this.
The Left have shown a COMPLETE unwillingness to act in a sane, civilized manner so perhaps CRUCIFYING the Hildabeast by FINALLY exposing the truth about her will be their waking up next to a horse head moment.
It’s a beautiful thing to behold, isn’t it?
Something is starting to really stink in DC and it isn’t Trump.
All these Democrat efforts, protests, boycotts, resignations, letters of concern, agency temper-tantrums etc. to “resist” everything can only lead to one thing....
Corruption on a scale we probably don’t even realize. Things are going to get very ugly, before we see them really turn around and get better.
or even
"If you investigate and refer for prosecution, you will have the full support and cooperation of the Justice Department."
Same thing
