House Republican Calls For Government Shutdown Because FBI Didn’t Charge Hillary

Not The Onion!

http://winningdemocrats.com/house-republican-calls-for-government-shutdown-because-fbi-didnt-charge-hillary-audio/

Despite the fact that the FBI found zero evidence of intentional mishandling of classified information or any evidence of obstruction, House Republicans are whining because Director James Comey did not recommend charging Hillary Clinton with a crime even though she didn’t commit any.

Republicans are now wasting taxpayer dollars investigating their own investigation and are interrogating Comey to find out why he didn’t do what they wanted him to do. And when it is determined that everything is on the level, Republicans plan to continue protesting by holding America hostage in an effort to force Hillary’s arrest.

During an interview with Breitbart radio, GOP Rep. Darrell Issa declared that Republicans should shut the government down until President Obama is forced to “enforce criminal charges against a criminal.”

Again, Hillary Clinton did not commit a crime and even the House investigation largely cleared Clinton of any criminal wrongdoing in their Benghazi report.

It seems like they will do ANYTHING to make sure we don't win the White House in November. I'm not a violent person by nature, but JESUS CHRIST, they're infuriating.

Listening to various Republican congressmen sharing their 'opinions' on the tragedies of the last few days is absolutely stomach turning. Biggest phony hypocrites to ever exist...scumbags.

They will stop passing laws de-funding the healthcare act. So, it will be 39 ahca repeals instead of 59?

I could live with that.

At what point do they think we can live with a continuously broken government? The GOP just loves terrorizing the citizens, making sure they are miserable at all times.

He has a strong challenger who could say he wants to close the government for partisan purposes. If you are a retiree in the military if the government gets closed for partisan reasons you're not going to be paid. Blame the car thief and embezzler Issa ( I know he can't say that last part)
