Washington, DC – Rep. Ron DeSantis (FL-06) today sent a letter, along with several colleagues, to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and US Attorney John Huber, asking them to investigate several Obama-era officials for potential violation(s) of federal statutes. These officials include former FBI Director James Comey, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, former Acting Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe, FBI Agent Peter Strzok and FBI Counsel Lisa Page, among others.
Read the criminal referral here. The following members have joined DeSantis in this call for equal application of the law: Andy Biggs (AZ-05), Dave Brat (VA-07), Jeff Duncan (SC-03), Matt Gaetz (FL-01), Paul Gosar (AZ-04), Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01), Jody Hice (GA-10), Todd Rokita (IN-04), Claudia Tenney (NY-22), and Ted Yoho (FL-03).
“The political elite are not immune from the rule of law, and those in positions of high authority should be treated the same as any other American,” DeSantis said. “If former officials, including Hillary Clinton and James Comey, broke the law then they need to be held accountable. We ask that the Department of Justice move swiftly to ensure that violations of federal statutes by high officials are identified and prosecuted.”
“The American people are tired of the Clintons and their friends being held to a different standard than the rest of us. They want justice done,” Brat said. “I hope the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation can investigate these claims and learn where laws were broken and respond accordingly.”
“Justice must be handed down fairly and equally, especially if you are in a position of trust and authority. I believe we must look into the multiple wrongdoings of government officials during the 2016 Presidential Campaign to guarantee to the American people that justice matters,” said Duncan.
“The investigations into the Hillary Clinton and the Presidential Campaign revealed egregious levels of misconduct and mishandling of sensitive information,” said Gosar. “The actions of these government officials outlined in our letter point to evidence of corruption and possible treason. It’s time these unelected bureaucrats stop hiding behind their titles and start being held to the same standards as every other American.”
“Justice must be blind, not partisan. We must conduct a thorough investigation into the potential abuses of power for politically motivated reasons committed by Justice Department and FBI officials. The American people deserve the truth, and if necessary, our justice system must be held accountable to the very same laws it is charged to enforce,” Harris said.
“While I will continue to call for the appointment of a second special counsel, I’m pleased that Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken the critical first step in directing U.S. Attorney John Huber to delve deeper into the abuse and misconduct at the DOJ and FBI. Together with fellow House members, I’m asking Attorney General Sessions, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and U.S. Attorney John Huber to specifically examine potential criminal wrongdoing by several individuals, including, but not limited to, James Comey, Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch, and others. At the end of the day, we have a responsibility to ensure equal justice under the law – without exception,” said Hice.
“We are a country of laws, and we cannot allow those in high authority positions in government who flagrantly violate our laws walk away without fully answering to the American people,” said Rokita. “That is why I fully support Rep. DeSantis’s call for an investigation against officials who have disregarded our federal statutes.”
“Obama-era officials in the Justice Department have failed the American people,” Tenney said. “Through their negligence, Hillary Clinton and her allies have yet to be held accountable for potential serious violations of our federal laws. This lack of oversight and transparency empowers the bad behavior of the corrupt political class and it’s why the American people have lost trust in those who have taken an oath to honorably serve them. The political class must be treated as any other American citizen. Enforcing subpoenas detailed in this letter will ensure officials are finally held accountable for their actions.”
“The people who serve in the highest levels of government should not be immune to justice,” said Yoho. It is important that we fight corruption at all levels to protect the American people and the institutions that serve them.”
Nothing.
I was 18 when Bill Clinton was elected and have watched for a quarter century with disbelief that he, Hillary, Obama, and EVERYONE who has stood with them have always... ALWAYS... gotten away with it.
How am I supposed to entertain any shred of thought that it's going to be any different now?
Why is this not covered on either Drudge or Fox News web sites? It doesn’t seem like they are taking this seriously.
I’m with you.
And you do?
Hi.
I made it a point to watch ABC CBS and NBC tonight. Not one mention of the referrals to the DOJ.
5.56mm
And you can safely bet any amount of money that if it were Democrats making a similar criminal referral, the lame stream media would be trumpeting it all night long.
I meant (but didn’t say clearly) that I would “eat crow” if it turns out that Sessions has been working on some grand plot to take down Hillary, Lynch and the rest and was being all cunning and methodical as many FReepers seem to think. The Q stuff, in other words.
And for the record, I ain’t holdin’ my breath.
Speaking of James Comedy: In his book he made fun of Trump wearing the orange tan make up. Well looky here: Here is Comedy wearing the same thing on The View.........
12 congressman with their three criminal referrals of McCabe disagree with you. They cite 18 USC 1001, 18 USC 1621 and 18 USC 1505.
Wake me when their.....
In Orange.
No problem. It'll be fun, like when all those here who declared Trump would never get nominated and certainly would never be president.☺

I’m probably leaving out two or three official investigations on Clinton.
On and on it goes, and I haven’t seen one single indictment.
Until someone goes to prison and a number of others follow along behind, I’ll be sitting here on the sidelines laughing at anyone who’s getting worked up over this.
Sad, but true
None of this is going away. Serious crimes and ethics violations have been committed all while mostly Obama era people were attempting to criminally undermine and compromise a candidate then the President of the United States.
This just gets bigger and more widespread. Very serious crimes and violations.
Republicans have been doing a dance for the last 16 years, just voicing concerns, yelling “there’s a crime”. At the same time Democrats have been persecuting republicans like Scooter libby for political differences.
Its finally dawned on Republicans that we have a police state, like the KGB, and if they don’t do something quick they risk getting arrested themselves. The democrat party has become a communist party, hell bent on destroying all opposition. The law is now just a traffic cone they ran over 10 years ago.
thanks Oldeconomybuyer.
Bunch of topics on this, pinging this one because it’s much more detailed.

Yes.
“:^)
i haven’t trusted the government since the Warren Commission
There are things I don’t agree with it on either, or trust it if you will. TWA-800, WACO, Ruby Ridge, and even the Kansas City bombing come to mind.
On the other hand, all those entities I mentioned, I cannot trust them at all.
I know Trump is doing his best. I support him for that reason. We’re not going to get anyone better than this, so we either decide to back the guy or just let the Left fully take over.
Heck, we’re deep into that already. I view Trump as a lifeline from God.
