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.”
Another campaign promise honored.
That’s exactly what he’s doing. Fresh red meat every day to send the media dogs running in the wrong direction.
They will find out that bammy’s fingerprints are all over this and it is payback for him opening his mouth to criticize Trump.
I watched Chaffetz’s speak about this. This article seems like it has more ump to it than what he said.
Anyway. If Trump has decided to go all in, as he should, I am all for it.
Judicial Watch is going to be the one to bring her down in my opinion.
Hillary thought she could backdoor her treachery over her loss by having surrogates conduct an “illegitimate President campaign.” She and her ilk have engineered assaults on any front they could concoct, and it hasn’t worked. The more they do, the more his supporters stand behind him.
She is about to find out what JUSTICE looks like.
There are several.
Hillary is pulling Schumer's strings, Trump knows it's time to fight back.
That would be an interesting development.
“Interesting that Obuma didn’t grant her a pardon.”
She was never indicted or convicted of anything. Thanks to Obama and his DC goons. Therefore, she does not need a pardon.
She has been mouthing off lately. Get back in your cave Hildabeast!
If it is true, then I would expect that it is a strategic move to counter Demonrat obstruction. With Trump’s instincts, it would be smart for the rest of the GOP to jump on this.
I don’t think POTUS can order Congress, it is the other way around.
I was thinking the same thing...he's doing a Cloward-Piven on the progressives, and President Trump has PLENTY to work with...
I don’t think the President ordered Congressmen to do anything. More likely, he made clear his support for their work.
Congress is a separate and co-equal branch of government.
Good. Get ‘em. Hey, if they didn’t do anything wrong, then fine. But that’s highly unlikely.
Obama would have had to pardon Hillary for Treason in a time of War and she would have had to admit she actually did create ISIS, and then she would have said Obama approved and helped her do it. That was kind of a Catch 22 for him.
YES! I was afraid Trump was going to let it go. Forgive me for doubting. LOCK HER UP!
A pardon for what?
