The House Judiciary Committee will hold hearings in September to determine whether Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton lied about her use of a private email server during testimony before the House Select Benghazi Committee last October.

Judiciary Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Oversight Chairman Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah.) co-wrote a legal memorandum Monday to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia suggesting inconsistencies between what the former Secretary of State told the Benghazi Committee and what she told FBI in July.

“During a House Select Committee on Benghazi hearing on October 22, 2015, Secretary Clinton testified with respect to whether she sent or received emails that were marked classified at the time; whether her attorneys reviewed each of the emails on her personal email system; whether there was one or more servers that stored work-related emails during her time as secretary of state; and whether she provided all her work-related emails to the Department of State,” the memorandum states.

This is what I was talking about in my thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028108711

Why can't we be as relentless in going after Trump on his calls for a foreign adversary to commit espionage and for the assassination of Hillary Clinton as Republicans have been in going after Hillary for Benghazi and her emails!

[Matthew28]

1. The republican party is the party of lies and bs

[catbyte]

2. Jesus H Christ. Laying the groundwork for impeachment hearings set for 1/21/17?

Assholes. I so hope they're voted out in November.

[napkinz]

5. We'll still be hearing chants of "Lock Her Up" long after the election

[RKP5637]

26. They waste tons of money and are worthless. In most corporations the whole republican

herd would have been fired for failure to perfect duties as expected!

[Old and In the Way]

4. The DNC needs to go to war with the Republican house.

HRC can handle Trump, but we need to focus on the cretins who don'tgovern and spend all their time and taxpayer money doing political witch hu ts. Plenty of dirt to e pose these hypocrites...lets make this the focus of the w016 election.

[OnDoutside]

32. + 1000

[Coyotl]

6. To quote a very wise politician, "Please proceed" ...

And embarrass yourselves while trying to get re-elected.

[Blue Idaho]

7. Just in time for the October Surprise...

These traitors are so predictable... Lets hope a bunch of them are thrown out of office in November.

[DFW]

8. Chaffetz is corrupt Republican garbage

I hope they show a few replays of the so-called "hearing" where he tried a lie on Cecile Richards to trap her, got called on it, and had to leave with mucho huevo on his face.

[napkinz]

16. ...

[kimbutgar]

28. Yet the fools in Utah will vote in back in

I don't even think he has a Democratic opponent.

But I wish this jerk would be exposed

[JRLeft]

9. It's a waste of time, it's so hard to prove.

[napkinz]

13. but it's time that the cable news networks will spend giving coverage to ...

They want the race to tighten; they want a horse race.

[Demsrule86]

19. I agree...especially when she did not lie to Congress.

Can we have those who leak documents in Congress prosecuted...because it is deliberate...meets the standard for prosecution.

[tonyt53]

10. Of course they will, but none about Manafort or Trump and his treason.

[napkinz]

15. yep ...

[kacekwl]

23. Or investigation into the military

not being able to account for BILLIONS of dollars every year.

[badhair77]

11. This nonsense is wearing me down.

What a waste of time and money - my tax money.

I want to see Chaffetz's emails. As taxpayers can't we demand those just to have him prove he's working for us, which he's not. Weasel.

[MFM008]

14. I know

It's exhausting like watching tennis and getting whiplash.
Stupidity wears me out.

[OnDoutside]

33. Is there any Leftist "Judicial Watch" ? If not, why not ?

[LAS14]

47. Good question. If our laws have to allow...

... spurious "investigations," then we have to play by the same rules. Yes??? No????

[OnDoutside]

51. Normally No, but 22 years of Judicial Watch requires SOME response ?

[Dem2]

12. They just can't resist overplaying their hand

They are SO desperate right now.

[MoonRiver]

17. We don't control the House or Senate.

Until that changes these bogus witch hunts will continue. GUARANTEED.

[napkinz]

24. If we win back the Senate but they keep the House, I wonder if Republicans in the House

will pursue impeachment knowing the Senate won't convict.

[MoonRiver]

25. I hope not, but they are insane, so who knows.

I hate those bastards!

[napkinz]

27. I think one reason they might still pursue impeachment ...

They can say history will record that BOTH Clintons were impeached.

[MoonRiver]

29. And history would also record that the House of Representatives was bat shit crazy

for 20 years.

[Demsrule86]

18. This will hurt them.

The people who care area already voting for Trump or some third party nothing....other voters are sick of it.

[LAS14]

49. I'd like to think so.

I'm distressed at living in a country where 40% of the people would support Trump. I'd like to think that the other 60% (or 45% that are paying attention) are getting as tired of these trumped up (sic) charges as is warranted.

[tanyev]

20. Have they considered the consequences if this goes really badly for them?

[napkinz]

30. do they ever consider the consequences of their actions?

Republicans think short-term.

[RBInMaine]

21. "Congress" isn't doing ANYTHING. The INSANE TEAPUBLICANS are doing it.

We need to OBLITERATE them at the voting booth in November. Not a single fucking TeaPUKElican deserves to serve in office.

[NastyRiffraff]

31. +1000

Exactly! Down ticket matters. We need to go after ALL Republicans who are continuing this bullshit, both about emails and Benghazi (although they appear to put that on hold for the moment). I want to completely embarrass them in November.

[napkinz]

35. our reply to "Lock Her Up" should be "VOTE THEM OUT!"

[Adrahil]

22. Democrats should refuse to participate.

They need to complain loud and long about the partisan political use of governmetal authority. This is beginning to feel like Venezuela. Don't like your opponent? Just constantly accuse them of a crime!

[DemonGoddess]

36. ^^^This!!!

[Rex]

37. It is amazing that our country can function at all with the GOP holding the people hostage.

They don't actually work for us, they work for themselves to make sure we never make any progress.

[napkinz]

38. and the hearings in September won't be the last

if they keep the House, I expect to hear talk of impeachment the morning after the election

2017 ... ring in the new year, and more hearings!

[BlueMTexpat]

39. This should give a LOT of good ammunition

for why these GOPers should be voted OUT!

They have not accomplished a single thing except to spend taxpayer $$$ to try to find a scandal that they can stick on Hillary. This one won't work either.

[napkinz]

41. as another member said, this time Democrats should refuse to participate!

[BlueMTexpat]

42. They may feel they have to

simply to inject notes of realism. That is the sad thing.

[napkinz]

43. the timing ... to have hearings leading up to the first debate, September 26

Hillary was right 20 years ago when she talked about "a right-wing conspiracy"

[Exilednight]

40. The American people have grown numb to all these hearings

When you hold hearings this often, people tune out.

[Cosmocat]

44. Yep

It works fir them because it justifies rge hate for their base, dems are fin cowards and wont battle it, the rest ofthe country just tunes it out.

[napkinz]

45. TUNE OUT ... the hearings ... and TURN OUT ... the vote!

[Exilednight]

50. It doesn't work like that. It just turns people

completely off to politics.

[LAS14]

46. I was kept awake for a long time last night trying to think...

... of how we could frame our laws so that spurious investigations can't happen. I kept stopping at the point where I imagined a Democratic congress looking into Trump's Russia connections. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[Peacetrain]

48. Well aren't they just so special..

I get so tired of right wing whiners.. who bellyache and make things up..trying to get their way.. its a headache we will have to live with for the next 8 years..
