GOP lays out case for charging Clinton with perjury

[DonViejo]

Source: The Hill

A pair of leading House Republicans on Monday laid out detailed instructions for the Justice Department to file perjury charges against Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

More than a month after first requesting the department open a criminal probe into Clinton for alleged misstatements she made under oath, the GOP heads of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees told a federal prosecutor specifically where they believed Clinton had lied to Congress about her email setup at the Department of State.

In at least four separate occasions during a marathon appearance before the House Select Committee on Benghazi, the lawmakers alleged, the former secretary's claims were at odds with what the FBI has now discovered to be the truth about her private server.

"Although there may be other aspects of Secretary Clinton’s sworn testimony that are at odds with the FBI’s findings, her testimony in those four areas bears specific scrutiny in light of the facts and evidence” provided by FBI Director James Comey, Reps. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) told the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Channing Phillips. Goodlatte leads the Judiciary Committee and Chaffetz runs the Oversight Committee.

1. Yawn. More taxpayer money down the drain.

How many times?

[hibbing]

2. Welcome to the next four years n/t

[groundloop]

17. OMG.... 4 years of hearing about a blow job.... er rather... email

Those ratfuckers NEVER give up, and will spare no expense (taxpayer expense, that is) in an attempt to show that a Clinton lied. We've seen this play before and are growing weary of it.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

21. More like the past 23 years....

.....with an eight year break.

[MynameisBlarney]

3. Oh for FUCKS SAKE!

Why the hell can't they give it a rest already?

Oh....wait...that's right.

They're republicans.

[TheCowsCameHome]

4. Plenty of time for this crap

while their own neighborhood burns.

Nice job. Not.

[7962]

31. Boy, you got that right nt

[JaneQPublic]

5. Will they wait until she's inaugurated to start impeachment proceedings?

Or will they start on Nov 8, as soon as she reaches 270 electoral votes?

[C_U_L8R]

6. Desperation stinks

Someone give the republican clowns some breath mints

[yellowcanine]

7. If they are basing it on the little "c" next to some email statements, it is a bust.

It is all about intent, there is no perjury without proving intent. This is bs.

[riversedge]

8. OH CRAP!! I am so angry right now!

[Thinkingabout]

9. Wow, can we get Issa for lying to the Americans. Especially those who have lied and said Hillary

Could have had military intervention in Benghazi, if this was possible then we need to look at the reasons Bush and Powell did not intercept the second plane before it flew into the Twin Tower, the jets did have as far to travel and could have prevented the second plane from striking the towers.

[mahina]

29. Hopefully Doug Applegate will beat Issa, and Issa will be gone.

[chillfactor]

33. I certainly hope so n/t

[Va Lefty]

10. All part of delegitimizing her election

So that asshat McConnell can refuse to give HER SC nominees hearings. God help us if we don't take the Senate.

[saidsimplesimon]

11. More GOP stupid stalking?

With rump and that cretin Manafort on the same team, the outcome, if we play our cards, will be to send the GOP off the tracks into the abyss of political relevance.

[ancianita]

12. Proving intent with FBI post-investigation info looks impossible. To me it's a witch hunt.

If "...her testimony in those four areas bears specific scrutiny in light of the facts and evidence,” are these perjury chasers actually going to say that something the FBI found is something she knew about and purposely hid?

I don't see how they could work any valid, sound argument to interpret discrepancies they find as lying. They just can't prove intent that way. And I don't want anyone here speculatively helping them with that thought process, either.

[IslandSteve]

13. For real ?

"A pair of leading House Republicans on Monday laid out detailed instructions for the Justice Department"

I'm sure they will get right on it

[stopbush]

14. We really need to take back the House.

It's the only way this shit will ever stop.

[OldRedneck]

15. Goodlatte and Chaffetz????

Tweedle-Dumb and Tweedle-Dumber!!!!

2/3 of the Three Stooges.

Added together, their IQ's would not equal room temperature.

Their train of thought jumped the track.

Two lugnuts rattling around in a hubcap.

[PearliePoo2]

16. I would advise Ms. Clinton to politely tell Chaffetz

To take his "probe" and shove it up his ass. Oh, and a hearty "fuck you" for emphasis would be good too. ENOUGH!

[beachbumbob]

18. Conservative morons..and why they are not fit govern

[RBInMaine]

25. They are "Brain Dead RIGHT WING ASSHOLE Morons" is more like it. Nothing "conservative" about them.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. You can go ahead and print out your "detailed instructions" on this special paper right here:

[world wide wally]

20. They must have taken a day off of repealing Obamacare

[Shankapotomus]

22. When they go low

We go high

[cstanleytech]

23. I'll see that indictment and raise you an indictment of the varies Republicans for corruption

which they have shown themselves very capable of these past few decades.

[Festivito]

24. Let me guess: Lots of "She's going down." Followed by non-ending investigation and never a court, or

or, a thrown quietly out of court, or,
silently dropped from the issues of the day, or,
people will actually get tired of it.

[tonyt53]

26. Hmm, I thought the Justice Dept. made those decisions on their own. Yeah, they do.

[bucolic_frolic]

27. Yeah ... "they believed"

But no sane person would

What an act of desperation by political hacks

[Kablooie]

28. These guys really think 4 years of Trump running the country will be better for them?

Not to mention his personal control of our nuclear arsenal.

Whew.

[Monk06]

30. They accept Hillary will be president now and are working on the her impeachment just as I predicted

[Kingofalldems]

32. GOP doing 'yeoman's work' if you will, in their trolling.

[misterhighwasted]

34. Repubs need a go-to scandal now that Manafort is making headlines

The more that is revealed as to Manfort , now coming fast & furious, the Repubs make a frantic dash to cover those headlines.
Their last resort is to naturally reach deep into their bag of old failed Hillary indictments to plaster the headlines and stop the bleed of the Trump/Putin alliance.

I hope the issue with Manafort blows wide open.

[vkkv]

35. Do you know what's in YOUR server? I don't..

[red dog 1]

36. Yeah, well, good luck with that, you ignorant assholes,

I'm sure that federal prosecutor will act on their stupid charges ASAP!

[tanyev]

37. Oh FFS. Is it too much to hope for a landslide win, the Senate and the House?

That's the only way this crap is ever going to stop.

[Trust Buster]

38. Republicans in Congress have to have their priorities. It certainly isn't the future children of

South Florida. I guess the rights of unborn aren't that important to these hypocrites during an election season.

[byronius]

39. Well, let's see how tough they are after they lose the House and Senate.

They sure do talk the talk. But --

[sinkingfeeling]

40. Wow, makes you wonder why Condi Rice wasn't charged by the

Democratic Congres.

[riderinthestorm]

42. Who could have predicted...

[TomCADem]

43. And People Wonder Why the GOP Was Fertile Ground for Trump

Rather than discussing issues, they peddle conspiracy theories. Yet, they act shocked when Trump ends up as their nominee.
