Senate Judiciary Committee to investigate Comey firing, Clinton email probe

The Judiciary Committee has an obligation to fully investigate any alleged improper partisan interference in law enforcement investigations, Grassley wrote to his Democratic counterpart, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California. It is my view that fully investigating the facts, circumstances, and rationale for Mr. Comeys removal will provide us the opportunity to do that on a cooperative, bipartisan basis.
In the letter, Grassley also stressed that the committee is obligated to look into the Justice Departments handling last year of the probe surrounding Hillary Clintons private e-mail use, citing Comeys testimony last week that he was concerned DOJ could not credibly complete the investigation and decline prosecution without grievous damage to the American peoples confidence in the justice system.
There should be no improper interference with FBI investigations to favor any elected official or candidate of either party, Grassley wrote to Feinstein. The Committee has an obligation to pursue all evidence of such misconduct.
Grassley and Feinstein met late Tuesday to discuss the Russia matter following testimony from Attorney General Jeff Sessions before the Senate Intelligence Committee, according to a Grassley spokesman. The Judiciary Committee has oversight of the Justice Department and the FBI.

(10,033 posts)Or, since Hillary already testified in an open hearing for over 9 hours to congress about everything the GOP could throw at her and came out the better for it, let Trump do the same. He is obviously in much better physical and mental shape than she was, and has the best brain and words, so it should be a breeze for him.
Nah. Just continue with trying to obscure the collusion/obstruction investigation. Good luck with that.

Comey is certain that he is the only person in the world with a clear moral mandate. iows - he is a pious pompous ass who is incapable of self-reflection/judgment. No need - he is perfect.
