[WOT?*]

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee voted Wednesday to request documents about former FBI director James B. Comey’s conversations with the Obama administration and journalists, amending and replacing a Democratic resolution that was designed to obtain documents about Comey’s firing by President Trump.

“In my district, my constituents say, ‘Hey, what’s going on with investigation of the crimes of the previous administration?’ ” said Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), one of the amendment’s sponsors. “When I hear talk that this contains right-wing conspiracies — well, I’ll tell you, my constituents think what’s going on in the other bill are left-wing conspiracy theories.”

The amendment was a surprise to Rep. Primala Jayapal (D-Wash.), the freshman who had proposed the Democratic resolution of inquiry, which had been expected to fail. In a heated markup, Jayapal and other committee Democrats expressed amazement that Republicans wanted to resurrect questions about the defeated Clinton campaign.

Yes, I know. Sorry. Primala Jayapal. She's a progressive D from our area. I just wanted to give her a nod because that paragraph really wasn't necessary. She's doing very well as a freshman Representative. The "lol" was me chuckling, not making fun of her name but making fun of myself for including that paragraph just because it was Primala; the inclusion of that paragraph wasn't necessary but "Primala - way to go!" Sorry about the confusion. I forget that we don't all know everything about each other here and not everybody knows my appreciation of the women reps from the D party (plus Rick Larsen) out here in Washington state. They are rocking it.

Since the Rs lack the ability to do a damn thing, good luck.

Why not have a few more hearings on Benghazi while we are at it?

I hear Vince Foster didn't actually commit suicide. Someone should look into that.

Go ahead, what difference will it make? So it comes back that HRC is in cahoots with the Russians. Fine, we all say ok. Does that mean Trump is off the hook, since, you know, he's the goddamned president?

Seriously.  I mean, isn't this kind of their own logic going to come and bite them in the ass?  It smacks of "Well, yes, Jr. went to meet with the Russians, but they didn't give him any good info, so it's all good and couldn't be collusion."  To me, this is the same.  HRC was in cahoots with the Russians, but she lost the election, so it can't be collusion, right dumbasses? 

[WanderingWinoZ]

um...no wonder they can't get anything accomplished. They are too busy dicking around with this nonsense. Part of me is really annoyed- mostly b/c Comey's behavior before the election really hurt Hillary. Maybe their investigation will conclude that Comey mishandled the Russian interference prior to the election...

[laurenpetro]

So you "listen to your constituents" about investigating HRC and Comey but you won't listen to them when it comes to healthcare?

Ok then.

Chaffetz needs something to follow on his new show. He'll be all over this.

He probably cried a little, knowing he'd be missing out.

Well there go my hopes for toning down the rage I feel bubbling inside.
