Rep. Steve King: "Re-open investigation for Hillarys emails if media keeps reporting on Russia"

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) appeared on CNN Wednesday morning to issue an ultimatum: Congress would be “forced” to start investigating Hillary Clinton’s emails again if Democrats didn’t stop talking about the Trump campaign’s alleged collusion with the Russian government.

During an interview with Alisyn Camerota, King lamented the way that the Russia scandal has upended President Donald Trump’s administration — and he said that if such disruptions continued, Congressional Republicans would restart the investigation into the private email server that Hillary Clinton used while she served as Secretary of State.

“If this continues  —  this immobilization of the presidency over these kind of things   it’s going to force Congress to do an investigation, a complete and thorough investigation, and that means go back all the way to the 650,000 emails of Anthony Weiner and look at [former FBI Director James] Comey and his activities,” King said, via ThinkProgress.

For good measure, King also said that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s decision to appoint former FBI Director Robert Mueller as a special prosecutor to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election was the actual “collusion” we should be worried about, as Mueller and Comey are longtime friends.

5. Instead, why don't we just vote you right out of office

next November in Iowa? How does that sound? Sounds great to me. I'll add you to the list.

6. The Clinton's have been investigated to hell and back. I doubt seriously that Trump and his minions

could hold up to that same level of scrutiny, especially for as long as they have been subjected to it.

8. Just does not go away does it.

Smith proved if you create a story with maybe one word of truth,and spend millions promoting the false story,eventually the Stupid believe the false story. Arkansas Project my friends. If the bribes are large enough,well,the two Troopers are living in Hog Heaven.

7. Benghazi!

9. One teeny tiny difference between the two, Rep. King

Unlike anything untoward in Secretary Clinton's e-mails, evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign (and now the Trump administration) and our good friends the Russians keeps popping up. "No meetings" has become "Oh yeah, lots of meetings." "Nothing substantive was discussed" in those meetings that didn't happen has become "Oh yeah, we talked about hacking the election." "No proof" has become "Okay, yeah, that looks like a big ol' mountain of proof, but it means nothing, I tell you. Have I ever lied to you before?"

Maybe you're remarkably stupid, Mr. King, but the rest of us aren't.

10. Racist piece of shit attempts ineffectual threat while chest-thumping and pissing with no hands.

Seems to be a more accurate headline to me.

11. Congressman King avoided the draft with "2S" deferments in 1967, 1968 and 1969 -He did not graduate

Nine days after receiving his third deferment, President Richard Nixon signed an amendment to the Military Service Act of 1967 that created the draft lottery. Under the new lottery system, draft deferments were still allowed. Because he had been receiving deferments under the old draft system, King was still shielded from being drafted in the lottery system as long as he maintained his deferments and stayed in school.

12. Also, isn't he the wack job who wants to cut food stamps to fund the wall that is being paid for by

Mexico?

13. Thus proving that the entire Clinton email investigation was nothing but pure politics.

It was completely dropped the day after the election. If it had been a real investigation and there was wrongdoing, it would have been continued. But the job was done and her campaign was tarred by it, as had always been the whole point of it.

They had no intention of ever proving any wrongdoing or prosecuting her since there was clearly no wrongdoing.

14. Please proceed, shithead

[Hekate]

15. So Mr King, what are YOU hiding? How dirty are you?

[Blue_Tires]

16. That's all they got -- Dragging HRC back into this story somehow...

[pirateshipdude]

17. I think Clinton would be good with revving up the hearing again, telling media to keep reporting.

There is more.

18. Steve King is not in charge of a fucking thing. He can't do shit. Why

didn't the CNN folks tell him that?
