“Chairman Goodlatte and crew outlined their investigative request, which includes what Comey knew about Hillary’s dealings with Uranium One by way of the Clinton Foundation, why former AG Loretta Lynch directed then FBI Director Comey to “mislead the American people”, a probe into Comey’s intentional information leaks, the unmasking fiasco (which we still don’t have public answers to), and the DNC computer systems.
We call on a newly appointed special counsel to investigate, consistent with appropriate regulations, the following questions, many of which were previously posed by this Committee and remain unanswered:
Then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch directing Mr. Comey to mislead the American people on the nature of the Clinton investigation;
The shadow cast over our system of justice concerning Secretary Clinton and her involvement in mishandling classified information;
FBI and DOJ’s investigative decisions related to former Secretary Clinton’s email investigation, including the propriety and consequence of immunity deals given to potential Clinton co-conspirators Cheryl Mills, Heather Samuelson, John Bentel and possibly others;
The apparent failure of DOJ to empanel a grand jury to investigate allegations of mishandling of classified information by Hillary Clinton and her associates;
The Department of State and its employees’ involvement in determining which communications of Secretary Clinton’s and her associates to turn over for public scrutiny;
WikiLeaks disclosures concerning the Clinton Foundation and its potentially unlawful international dealings;
Connections between the Clinton campaign, or the Clinton Foundation, and foreign entities, including those from Russia and Ukraine;
Mr. Comey’s knowledge of the purchase of Uranium One by the company Rosatom, whether the approval of the sale was connected to any donations made to the Clinton Foundation, and what role Secretary Clinton played in the approval of that sale that had national security ramifications;
Disclosures arising from unlawful access to the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) computer systems, including inappropriate collusion between the DNC and the Clinton campaign to undermine Senator Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign;
Post-election accusations by the President that he was wiretapped by the previous Administration, and whether Mr. Comey and Ms. Lynch had any knowledge of efforts made by any federal agency to unlawfully monitor communications of then-candidate Trump or his associates;”
Former reporter I used to sit next to (and who now covers entertainment for AP) said apparently, if it’s not a glitch, Anthony Scaramucci “follows” her on Twitter.

Finally. Now we get around to exposing some actual collusion with the Russians, and actual crimes.

@8:07 As long as he is referring to her as “Hopester”, she’s probably safe. When the names get more colorful, change is in the wind. ;–)

This is just not right. (Although I do think the headline exaggerates what he actually said.)
