“Reps. Jordan and Gaetz: Special counsel needed as questions mount on Clinton, Comey, Russian Dossier and more”
Mr.
Attorney General, it’s time to do your job.
Why in 2016 did FBI Director James
Comey call the Clinton Investigation a “matter,”
not an investigation?
Why in 2016 did FBI Director Comey
begin drafting an exoneration letter for Secretary Clinton, whom
he called “grossly
negligent” in an early draft of the letter,
before completing the investigation?
Before interviewing several witnesses?And before interviewing Secretary Clinton?
Why in 2016 did James Comey and the
Justice Department give Cheryl Mills, Secretary Clinton’s Chief of
Staff, an immunity
agreement for turning over her laptop computer?
Typically, the Department would issue
a subpoena or get a warrant and seize it.
Why in this case did the FBI agree
to destroy
the laptop?
Why in 2016—
one
day before the Benghazi report was released and
five
days before Secretary Clinton was interviewed by the FBI—
did Attorney General Lynch meet with
former President Clinton on the tarmac in Phoenix?
Why did the
intelligence community in the final months of the Obama
Administration unmask names at a record rate?
Why in the days following the meeting,
and when emailing with the public
relations staff at the Justice Department,
did Loretta Lynch use the pseudonym
“Elizabeth
Carlisle?” If your conversation with the former
President was only about golf and grandchildren, then why not use
your real name?
Why was the decision on whether to
charge Secretary Clinton made by FBI Director Comey and not the
Attorney General?
Why did James Comey publicize the
Clinton Investigation?
Why in 2016 did the FBI
pay for the Russian Dossier?
It’s been reported that in addition
to the Clinton Campaign and the Democratic National Committee paying
FusionGPS for the dossier,
the FBI also “reimbursed”
Christopher Steele, author of the dossier.
Why was FusionGPS co-founder
Glenn Simpson
meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya both
before and after her meeting with Donald Trump, Jr.?
Why is the FBI so reluctant to tell
Congress and the American people if the dossier
was the basis for a FISA court order permitting the
government to spy on Americans associated with President Trump’s
campaign?
If the dossier was a legitimate
intelligence document relied on by the court, then why not just tell
the country?
Why on January 6, 2017 did James
Comey brief
President-Elect Trump on the dossier?
Again, if the dossier was a legitimate
intelligence document, then why wait two months after the election
to inform the President-Elect?
Why did the Obama Administration leak
to CNN that Mr. Comey had briefed President-Elect Trump on the
dossier?
Several
media outlets had the dossier prior to the briefing, yet no one would
print it because most of the document could not be
substantiated.
In his Congressional testimony,
Mr. Comey himself called the dossier
“salacious
and unverified.”
As pointed out in The
Federalist, did the fact that the FBI Director had briefed the
President- Elect on the dossier give it the “legitimacy” the
press needed to go ahead and print something they knew was not
accurate?
Why did the intelligence community in
the final months of the Obama Administration unmask names at
a record
rate?
Why, after Mr. Comey was fired on May
9, 2017, was it so critical for a Special Counsel be named to
examine possible Trump/Russia collusion?
So critical that James Comey
leaked a government document about his conversations with
President Trump through a friend to the New York Times.
Why is the Special Counsel Robert
Mueller?
According to The
Hill and Circa
News, in 2009 and 2010,
the FBI through an informant learned
Russian companies seeking to do business in the United States were
involved in kickbacks and bribes.
Yet, FBI Director Robert Mueller did
not inform Congress and did not inform the Committee of Foreign
Investment in the United States (CFIUS), the entity responsible for
the decision on whether to approve the Uranium One deal.
Why did Robert Mueller not
inform CFIUS? And
why did the Justice Department put
a gag
order on the informant?
Finally,
why won’t Attorney General Jeff
Sessions—the person with the visibility and responsibility to
answer these questions—do his job?
On July
27, 2017, twenty House Republican members of the
Judiciary Committee sent a letter to the Attorney General calling
for a Special Counsel to get answers to the above questions.
On September 28, 2017, five House
Republican members of the Judiciary committee met with the Attorney
General and Justice Department staff to inquire about the July
letter.
The Justice Department’s response?
Silence.
It’s time for Jeff Sessions to name a
Special Counsel and get answers for the American people. If not, he
should step down.
Republican Jim Jordan represents
Ohio's Fourth District in the U.S. House of Representatives and is a
member of the House Judiciary Committee and the House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee.
Republican Matt Gaetz represents
Florida's 1st congressional district in the U.S. House of
Representatives.
