>Comey will appear before the Oversight Committee at 10 a.m., House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) said on Wednesday morning. The hearing will be just two days after Comey's stunning repudiation of Clinton's "extremely careless" practice of using a private email server to send classified information during her tenure as secretary of State. Comey did not recommend charges be filed against her, stoking GOP outrage and propelling congressional leaders like Chaffetz to seek more information.
>Chaffetz's Senate counterpart, Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), demanded a written explanation of Comey's decision-making on Wednesday. And House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) said that Attorney General Loretta Lynch will testify next Tuesday before his panel about Clinton's email practices, as well as Bill Clinton's private meeting with Lynch in late June.
>The flurry of action highlights the GOP's exasperation over Comey's decision not to recommend an indictment despite his harsh words for Clinton. Republicans said the decision feeds the public perception that the Clintons are not held to the same standard as other Americans, and the GOP is set to use the matter as a electoral cudgel over the next four months.
>Chaffetz called it "surprising and confusing" that Comey did not recommend an indictment; the FBI chief's criticism, in Chaffetz's view, "makes clear Secretary Clinton violated the law."
>"Congress and the American people have a right to understand the depth and breadth of the FBI's investigation," Chaffetz said in a statement announcing that Comey had agreed to his request.
Do you think this will accomplish anything? Is there still a chance that Shillary can be charged?
>Across the Capitol, Johnson announced in a letter to Comey that his committee is continuing to investigate Clinton's email use. Johnson asked that Comey describe the cost and scope of the investigation of Clinton and further explain his decision-making process.
>"You determined that Secretary Clinton’s 'handling of very sensitive, highly classified information' was 'extremely careless.' However, you found that the actions of Secretary Clinton did not lead to a recommendation to pursue criminal charges, including charges under the 'gross negligence' standard ... What is the difference, in the FBI’s view, between extreme carelessness and gross negligence?" asked Johnson in the letter. "What set of facts would cause the FBI to recommend criminal charges under the gross negligence standard?"
>Meanwhile, Goodlatte will focus on Lynch, who was rebuked by members of both parties for speaking at length with Bill Clinton on an airport tarmac in Arizona last week. The interaction, which Lynch later admitted was a mistake, handed the GOP more ammunition surrounding the Justice Department's investigation of Hillary Clinton.
>"It is uniquely troubling in light of Attorney General Lynch’s secret meeting with former President Bill Clinton. No one is above the law and the American people need to know that federal law enforcement is taking this misconduct seriously," Goodlatte said.
>Several Republicans called Wednesay for a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton, amid growing anger on the right.
>"We are in a crisis because Hillary Clinton, if the voters do not stop her, will be the next President of the United States," Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the former House Oversight chairman, warned on SiriusXM's Breitbart News Daily. "She will, in fact, on Day One say, 'Pardon me,' and she'll mean it. She'll have pardoned herself. She will have ... flaunted the security laws, the privacy laws, the Presidential and the Federal Records Act, and gotten away with it."

No. Congress Republicans are fucking retards; no chance they'll accomplish anything.

>Is there still a chance that Shillary can be charged?
With loretta lynch as the AG, and given her and Obama's recent behavior, wouldn't appearing before congress be the only way Comey COULD realistically get her charged?
>>80035386
Someone will find the paper trail leading to "a large donation" to Comey or a close friend
>house oversight committee
He's testifying because not charging her was an oversight?
So what creative method will comey get accidental-suicided with?
Exploding computer chair?

>Do you think this will accomplish anything? Is there still a chance that Shillary can be charged?
No and no, but it's probably worth a watch regardless
>>80035386
This is a retarded move. They will spin it to be "oh wow Hillary keeps getting demonized by those mean ole republicans" And then Obama will chime in with his annoying nigger mouth "I know that feel". I'm sure evidence is already damaged/ lost from the evidence lockers.
>>80035840
I'm guessing a paper clip, a rubber band, and a tube sock.
>>80036084
unless they ask questions like 'why have you decided not to recommend prosecution when, in the same breath, you say that she is guilty and that others would be charged for the same crime?'
I do agree that it's unlikely anything will happen because of the questioning though
