Nearly a dozen Republican members of Congress on Wednesday sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department and FBI seeking an investigation of former bureau boss James Comey, his deputy Andrew McCabe, ex-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Hillary Clinton in connection with 2016 campaign controversies.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions already announced last month he had assigned a federal prosecutor to review some of those broader issues, while resisting calls for a second special counsel. But the referral represents an escalation of Republican pressure to probe top Democrats and Trump critics.
Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., and 10 other House lawmakers want an investigation into potential violations that cover everything from the handling of the Clinton email probe to the anti-Trump dossier’s funding to the Uranium One controversy.

Complaining about “dissimilar degrees of zealousness” in the investigations into Clinton and Trump campaign associates, they wrote:

Thanks. I had read about the confrontation, but not seen the video. I’ll view it on my cell phone in a bit.
I have some Java functioning restricted on this computer and it does not have Adobe software on it.
I don’t see John McCain’s name listed here?
Sorry, I posted hours earlier than the signing. Look elsewhere for the video.
“Directly or indirectly, the number is huge.”
It’s amazing that the fact exposing has gotten as far as it has.
Was just saying. It’s not an issue. Suspected it was that I did not post the ....’s on the end of the title.
If searched without the periods it would have not shown.
The no dupe rule is a good rule, but at times the titles are a real challenge. Some titles are so long now that it is impossible to do a good job of shortening.
correct
John who??? smile.
I think John was a member of the gang of 8, not the gang of 4.
