House GOP Request Investigation Of Clinton Over Emails : Brian Fallon, spokesman for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign said on Tuesday that House Republicans are overreaching with a new request to investigate Mrs. Clinton for possible perjury charges. “This is pure partisan overreach,”
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, of the House oversight committee, and Bob Goodlatte, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, wrote a letter to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia on Monday requesting an investigation into whether Mrs. Clinton, the likely Democratic presidential nominee, perjured herself in testifying before Congress.
Mark E. Kalmansohn, a former federal prosecutor says, “FBI Director James B. Comey rightly concluded that no rational federal prosecutor would pursue the matter”.
“Republicans are so frustrated with the FBI’s unanimous decision that they are now completely unloading on Secretary Clinton with everything they’ve got—right before the presidential conventions,” Cummings said in a statement. “They are spending their final days here in Washington climbing all over each other, collecting hundreds of signatures for their partisan letter attacking the FBI Director for doing his job, sending a so-called ‘criminal referral’ devoid of any actual facts, and demanding access to the FBI’s entire investigative file.”
