lots more detail at the link:

18 Mar: Lifezette: Meet Hillary Clinton’s Other, Much More Powerful and Shadowy Oppo Research Firm
Executives with London-based Hakluyt & Co. contributed thousands of dollars to 2016 Democratic presidential nominee’s campaign
by Mark Tapscott
Meet London-based Hakluyt & Co., founded by three former British intelligence operatives in 1995 to provide the kind of otherwise inaccessible research for which select governments and Fortune 500 corporations pay huge sums...

Hakluyt is described by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism’s Henry Williams as “one of the more secretive firms within the corporate investigations world” and as “a retirement home for ex-MI6 [British foreign intelligence] officers, but it now also recruits from the worlds of management consultancy and banking … ”
The firm’s “style appears to be much more in the mold of the Christopher Steele dossier. Clients pay for pages of well-sourced prose from Hakluyt’s contacts across the globe,” Williams wrote...

When the drunken junior Trump foreign policy adviser George Papodopoulous boasted in a London bar in May 2016 about Russian intelligence operatives peddling hacked emails that were damaging to Clinton, his most interested listener, according to The New York Times, was Alexander Downer, Australian high commissioner to the U.K...
Downer, a long-time Aussie chum of Bill and Hillary Clinton, had been on Hakluyt’s advisory board since 2008. Officially, he had to resign his Hakluyt role in 2014, but his informal connections continued uninterrupted, the News Corp. Australian Network reported in a January 2016 exclusive...

The link between Clinton and Hakluyt is ironic considering the former secretary of state’s strong commitment to liberal Democratic environmental causes. Hakluyt’s record includes being caught planting spies in Greenpeace and other environmental groups on behalf of energy giants British Petroleum (BP) and Shell.

“Misleading” = lying.

Isn’t there some sort of injunction about “bearing false witness”?

Check the US legal code. Once a person has sworn to “tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth”, certain rules about perjury and blatant misstatements apply.

Pelosi will be Speaker so all investigations will be shut down. Also, they will not give the GOP any ability to put out minority memos.

Great Budget guys.

I'm sure Jeff Sessions' DOJ will instruct the FBI to investigate and they, in turn will get hand down an indictment in short order.

not...

Well the statute of limitations to charge him with a crime ran out just few days ago. I am not sure if a congressional investigation would have stopped the clock or not. But I doubt it. Congress wouldn’t ask DOJ to charge him anyways.
