In their letter, the Judiciary Committee members express concern that the directive given to Special Counsel Robert Mueller is narrow in scope and many concerns arising out of the 2016 presidential election and its aftermath are not being investigated. The members call for the appointment of a second special counsel to investigate grave concerns such as former Attorney General Lynch’s directive to former FBI Director Comey to mislead the American people on the nature of the investigation into former Secretary Clinton; the FBI and Justice Department’s investigative decisions related to the Clinton email investigation, including the immunity deals given to potential co-conspirators; selected leaks of classified information that unmasked U.S. persons incidentally collected upon by the intelligence community; and the FBI’s reliance on “Fusion GPS” in its investigation of the Trump campaign, among many others issues.

I think it's hard to reconcile, in one case you reach a complete conclusion, and on the other side you have not, I think that's a double standard there, to tell you the truth.

The whole point of that bullshit was to make something outta nothing so that Hillary would lose. She did. So what would this even accomplish? Republican voters got what they wanted, they couldn't give less of a shit about whatever happens to Hillary & Co. now.

Same party that rails against the very idea of the Fairness Doctrine always seems to contrive a way to artificially level shit out.

Both sides! Whatabout ___!?

Uh, why would they need a special counsel? None of those people are president or even in government. Just have the FBI do it.

Unless of course this is just a dumb stunt.

Muddying the waters of a continuing legit investigation into Russia ties to the President they desperately defend because if he goes the whole house of cards comes tumbling down.

That would be prudent. You get a special council, and you get a special council, and you get a special council. Everybody gets a special council!

Actually just throw everybody in jail now, save some time and money and lets have elections for every position in the gov't. Basically we need a do-over.

Deflection from Trump and more smoke into 2018.

They want to get as many members of the DNC looking as dirty as possible.

Sessions is largely already recused from investigating any of this and Rosenstein isn't gonna fall for it. The House committee is totally capable of investigating things itself, so this is dumb.

That's not how it works GOP. You can't just broaden the investigation to all your political enemies with no idea what you're looking for just because you want to take heat off your orange turd.
