Republican senators press DOJ to probe Clinton and Ukraine
As President Donald Trump's presidency is threatened by an impeachment inquiry, the Republican chairmen of two Senate committees, Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley, are asking Attorney General William Barr to investigate any ties between Ukraine and Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign.
In a letter to Barr released on Monday, Johnson (R-Wis.) and Grassley (R-Iowa) pressed the Justice Department to probe any connection between Clinton and Ukrainian operatives. They said they have "concerns about foreign assistance in the 2016 election that have not been thoroughly addressed."
Their letter comes as Trump faces an impeachment inquiry from the House amid revelations that he sought help from Ukraine's president to probe former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading contender for the Democratic nomination. But these two Republicans say there's another story about government corruption allegations the Justice Department should be pursuing.
These guys are committee chairmen why don't they start their own investigation in the Senate? My guess is Mitch won't let them embarrass themselves with another Hillary investigation.

(3,131 posts)I hear there was an failed money drop in Benghazi and they eventually made it in that pizza restaurant basement. Then Obama hired a bunch of undocumented workers to fill in the basement to make the republicans look stupid. Which is an insult because they are big boys who can do it all by themselves .
It isnt funny because Barr is happy to investigate to try to divert attention from trumps extortion attempt. The targets of the investigation will suffer from the stress and incur legal expenses from the politically motivated bullsh@t.
They probably have no recourse but I hope they get to sue the DOJ and Barr personally for any bogus investigation.
