Departing House Republicans Try to Keep Investigation Into F.B.I. Alive

WASHINGTON — In one of their final acts in the House majority, Republicans released a letter on Friday urging their Senate counterparts to pick up their politically charged inquiry into the handling of the F.B.I.’s investigations of President Trump’s campaign and Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, and called again for the appointment of a special counsel to study the matter.

Detailing some of their findings, the chairmen of the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees said it appeared to them that the F.B.I. had treated the Trump and Clinton cases differently, cutting Mrs. Clinton and her associates crucial breaks while assigning agents who privately exchanged reams of messages bashing Mr. Trump to investigate his campaign’s links to Russia.

“It is not the discovery of bias that is so destructive to fairness, it is the existence of it,” the chairmen, Robert W. Goodlatte of Virginia and Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, wrote of the officials.

They also used the letter to resurface Republicans’ contested charge that the F.B.I. abused sensitive surveillance powers to spy on a former Trump campaign associate believed to be compromised by Russia.

All three. Chelsea is complicit and has benefited greatly from the Clinton Crime Family frauds. She’s no kid anymore either. I think she’s in her upper 30’s now.

Also compromised and complicit. However, they are somewhat skilled in kabuki.

Kabuki is their forte. All show; no go. Feckless.

But they still have the allure of not being Democrats after all.

The House, corrupt part of Congress...and I doubt the R will regain it in 2020. Incumbents win elects...so 2020 the house will be D...
