Ignoring Trump, Chaffetz seeks charges related to Clinton emails
On Nov. 9, literally the day after the election, House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) said his pre-election plans had not changed: he remained focused on Hillary Clinton and her email server management. In December, he said it again. In January, he said it again.
Yesterday, as the Associated Press reported, the Republican congressman took the next ridiculous step.
The Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, who has refused Democratic requests to investigate possible conflicts of interest involving President Donald Trump, is seeking criminal charges against a former State Department employee who helped set up Hillary Clintons private email server.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Thursday asking him to convene a grand jury or charge Bryan Pagliano, the computer specialist who helped establish Clintons server while she was secretary of state.
So let me get this straight. Theres evidence that Russia launched an illegal espionage operation to help put Donald Trump in the Oval Office. Theres evidence that Team Trump was in communications with officials in Vladimir Putins government at the time. Theres evidence that leading members of Team Trump lied about these contacts. Theres evidence that the communications continued during the presidential transition process, which Trump administration officials lied about, and which led to the White House National Security Advisor resigning.

We wouldn't want the insane 20% or so who chanted "Lock her up" to be dissatisfied, now would we?
