Chaffetz asks deputy FBI director for documents about wife’s political ties to Clinton (McCabe)
WaPo ^ | October 28, 2016 | David Weigel

House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who told The Washington Post this week that Hillary Clinton would face “years” of potential probes if she won the presidency, has asked FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to provide documents about his wife's 2015 campaign for Senate — a campaign that received financial support from Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D), a close Clinton ally. Chaffetz also tweeted Friday that the FBI would examine new emails related to the investigation into Clinton's use of a private server.

“There are outstanding questions . . . regarding a possible conflict of interest into this case,” Chaffetz said in the letter. To investigate the questions, Chaffetz requested documents related to “when you first became aware the State Department was pressuring the FBI to reverse its decision regarding the classification of one of Secretary Clinton's emails,” and “when you first became aware the FBI had opened an investigation into Secretary Clinton's email server,” with a deadline of Nov. 10, two days after the general election.

Chaffetz dropped the ball on the Trump bimbo bullshtt but he has done yeoman’s work on Comey. As has Gowdy.

And lest we forget, it was Gowdy’s Benghazi hearings that led to the disclosure of the private server.

There are several questions I’d like answered.

1. Of the money received, how much did she spend?
2. How much did she have left over after the election?
3. If she had $$$ left over, what do state laws say about how she can use it?

It’s possible she ran with the intention of losing, and then she have $$$ at her disposal.

IMHO whatever happens, the Government always has a “fall guy”. In this case, McCabe will be “it”. Why? ... to save Comey’s butt, to preserve the sullied image of the FBI and that's about it. Right now too many theories on what they have. Lynch interfering, taking 5th etc. Rush to distract from Wikileaks. Huma flipping on Hillary. Wiener flipping (a sight to be hold and texted) on estranged wife Huma, etc. I do think there was a rebellion in FBI and agents were about to go public. Hence the worried look on Comey's face; but there must be more.

> “years” of potential probes

Screw that. Investigate, prosecute, lock her up. Enough with the slow walking.
