these evil fucks never quit--House Republicans:Hillary Clinton committed perjury in emails testimony

Two Republican committee chairmen on Capitol Hill are alleging that Hillary Clinton perjured herself during testimony to Congress last October when discussing her use of private email servers when she served as secretary of state.

In a letter sent to the Department of Justice on Monday, House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Virginia, and Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said that Clinton's testimony before the House Select Committee on Benghazi contradicts the FBI's findings from its investigation into her private email servers.

"The evidence collected by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) during its investigation of Secretary Clinton's use of a personal email system during her time as Secretary of State appears to directly contradict several aspects of her sworn testimony," they wrote.

They said that the testimony that needs to be reviewed revolves around whether Clinton 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 more than one email server; and whether she provided all of her work-related emails to the State Department.

If this is the best they've got they might as well pack it up and go home.

They will do it decades after the gop voters have tuned them out, which I think has already happened.

Until the dems get control of the house and senate, which means control of the committees and chairs, they're going to do this. And nothing else.

I realize that it's more fun to yell Benghazi all day long, but Trump is actually in hot water.
