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.”
This will give them something to be outraged about. Should be incredibly entertaining.
This story seems trumped up. Pun intended. Trump has no authority here. He does not send two congressmen to do anything. If the story said that Trump sent the FBI Director or the Justice Department to look into Hillary, that would be a story. But this is Fake News. Trump has no authority in any way over Chaffetz or Gowdy. He can’t order them to do anything.
Fake News is often just Fake Headlines on an otherwise boring story. Drudge does that all the time. As in this story, you just describe a suggestion from Trump as an Order from Trump and you get readers. Beware, Fake News comes from our side just as much as it comes from the other side. You have to be able to spot it.
Ask yourself three questions when you read anything in the press. Does this person KNOW what they are talking about? Why are they telling me this? And, why are they telling me this now? Assume stories from any source can be fake or spun.
If not pardon, then at least commutation of the sentence.
nachumlist times four for a rough estimate of surviving family members waiting for justice.
4n = woooo
nachumlist times ten for a rough estimate of her perpetrators who don’t want justice.
10n = ohcrap
The whole world needs to know and recognize this attempt to overthrow AmericanChristianity and Constitutional government that has been going on from the halls of ivy to the slums of New York, Chicago, and LA.
Move on. Go after the bigger fish, ie the Clinton Foundation. The email stuff is nothing.
I’ll say it for many of my Freeper friends:
LOCK HER UP!
Lock her up, lock her up, lock her up..
I’m starting to think the same. They way he’s zeroed in on CNN and the NY Times...it does seem as if he may have read the playbook, which does not require you to be a liberal, only a ‘radical’, which Trump certainly is.
My concern is this: By announcing this PLAN, it has put the Clinton’s on notice - causing them, and their lawyers and staff to start hiding everything.
SHOULD HAVE KEPT THIS QUIET ..!!!!!!
Jerking him around during the transition not so smart in retrospect, eh, Dems??
Why does Congress continue to investigate her crimes? Seems to me this should be a job for the FBI or the police at this point.
Obama & Clinton should have slinked away, but oh no; they had to set all their minions in motion and open their mouths.
Can we expect Hillary will take a vacation over seas very soon?

I hope that “going after everything” includes Soros.
Many have died waiting for that process to begin since 1992.

With President Trump, he throws something new at the stinkin’ liberals every ten minutes.
And I’m loving everything the president’s doing!
