The House should demand all of Comey’s communication regarding the Clintons for at least the last 8 years. When he refuses, which he is likely to do, hold him in contempt.
It can then direct the US Attorney for the DC to empanel a grand jury. In fact, the House may actually have the power to have Comey arrested.

“The authority of the House of Representatives to arrest and detain her is clearly outlined in a report to Congress from the Congressional Research Service. As part of the Library of Congress, CRS provides Congress with its official legal and other research. An April 10, 2014, CRS report states:
“Congress’s inherent contempt power is not specifically granted by the Constitution, but is considered necessary to investigate and legislate effectively. The validity of the inherent contempt power was upheld in the early Supreme Court decision in Anderson v. Dunn [1821] and reiterated in McGrain v. Daugherty [1927].
“Under the inherent contempt power the individual is brought before the House or Senate by the Sergeant-at-Arms, tried at the bar of the body, and can be imprisoned or detained in the Capitol or perhaps elsewhere.”
This includes the power to confine a witness until they provide the testimony demanded by the House or Senate:
“Thus, the witness can be imprisoned for a specified period of time as punishment, or for an indefinite period … until he agrees to comply.”
In the McGrain case, the Supreme Court upheld this power and noted that each house of Congress may exercise it independently of the other:”
This is all to protect the President. He is probably very active all through those emails and this must be kept away from the White House at all costs. Everyone involved, esp. Comey, is willing to fall on their sword to make that happen. I believe by the time Trump gets in there wont be anything left to investigate. All the info will have been sterilized.
Incredible. Absolutely incredible.
Nothing stinks here.
Nope.
Defund and shut down the FBI, since it has become a criminal government protection outfit.
The FBI no longer serves any noble purpose.
The FBI is replete with criminals and political stooges. They are the new STASI.
Fodder for those who actually think...anything will happen to those that rule us.
Oh, man. Am I on the right planet?
This is a good reason the FBI and Justice Dept need to be independent of the executive branch.

While I agree Comey is bought remember who actually negotiated and wrote up the Immunity Deals.
IT was the U.S. Justice Department. Loretta Lynch is the kingpin in this criminal enterprise.
I think she did it to cover for Obama’s use of the email server, the exact communications and perhaps financial ties for his decisions to the Clinton Foundation.
WTF?????????????????????????????????????
PING!!!

Thanks, ReaganGeneration2 & H/T KC_Lion
congress needs to subpoena all the FBI agents on the “A team” (who are under ridiculous non-disclosure agreements) and get to the bottom of this-will they take the 5th also?
did they use hammers?
