Fox News reports eleven Republican members of Congress have sent a letter to the Department of Justice making a criminal referral for activities associated with the Clinton campaign in the 2016 election. Those named for criminal investigation include Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Loretta Lynch, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Sally Yates, Dana Boente, and possibly Rod Rosenstein.
I don’t believe AG Sessions’ recusal will apply to this investigation as no Russian involvement is inferred. Interestingly, it asks Rosenstein be recused considering his involvement with aspects of the allegedly criminal matter.
You’ve heard of dueling banjos? This shapes up to being dueling criminal investigations - Democrats vs. Republicans. Mueller’s merry band vs. a yet-to-be-named team looking at the active support for the Clinton campaign given by DOJ and FBI persons who are required by law to be non-partisan in all of their official actions, if not in their personal beliefs or voting.
Looking back at the list of referred suspects, wouldn’t they constitute a perp walk for the ages?
