Hill Republicans: Clinton investigations won't stop if she wins
[Politico] Top GOP lawmakers on both sides of the Capitol are vowing that their investigations of Hillary Clinton will continue even if she wins the White House in November.Indeed, the FBI wrapped up its investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server this summer, but congressional Republicans say they’re just getting started. House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) wants answers on the deletion of Clinton emails he says may constitute "destruction of evidence" -- and he's willing to use subpoenas to get them. House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) is working on a bill to pull the security clearance of anyone who broke rules governing confidential information, a jab aimed squarely at Clinton and her top aides. And there’s percolating interest among congressional Republicans in sniffing out any connections between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department -- a potential new Clinton probe inspired by reports showing foundation donors securing access to Clinton as secretary of state. CNN reported in August that FBI officials wanted to probe the Foundation connection for conflicts of interest but was slapped down by Justice officials. Republicans have also signaled interest in diving deeper into questions of whether Clinton or her aides perjured themselves on the email matter. "Hillary Clinton created this problem; I’m trying to untie this big tangled web," Chaffetz (R-Utah) said in an interview this week. "I’d be derelict in my chairmanship if I didn’t pursue this with all the vigor I have." Posted by: Besoeker 2016-09-10 |
