Top GOP lawmaker to launch House investigation into Clinton emails

Representative John Boehner, the top Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives, plans to announce a new investigation this week into Hillary Clinton’s use of email when she led the State Department, ABC News reported on Sunday.

ABC’s “This Week” program said top Republicans had briefed it about Boehner’s plans, but did not give details.

Clinton, expected to launch her campaign soon for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, has faced a storm of criticism over her email habits. She used a personal email address instead of a government one, as well as a personal server, during the period she was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.

Clinton told a news conference on Tuesday her private email address was a “convenience” so she would not have to carry two mobile devices. She sent and received 62,320 emails while at the State Department and after a review process, 30,490 were provided to the department at its request, a Clinton spokesman said last week. The remaining 31,830 were private and personal records, the spokesman said.

10. This has legs. Clinton is toast.

[lewebley3]

15. GOP can give legs to anything they Want: The will make fools of themselves again!!!!

What is truly sad, is the wasted money: The GOP usually
end up with mud on their own faces.

Its truly scary what a bunch of fools are in charge of
congress.

They are committed treason, and cannot govern to save themselves.

The GOP have cried wolf to many times to take them seriously.

The Clinton's are fighter, they will kick the GOP to the curb.

11. DU was the first to start investigating her emails

So the stars have aligned.

[OKNancy]

Clinton detractors better be careful what they wish for.

[Iliyah]

14. Nothing on closing the inequality grap huh?

The GOP congress is worthless except for the 1-2%ers.

[Enrique]

16. i hope he won't make this political

[Bradical79]

17. So, how long can they drag this out?

I mean there's only so much you can "investigate". It'll look real dumb real fast. Already, few care and Benghazi is a popular joke representing Republicans wasting time on baseless manufactured scandals.

[cosmicone]

18. Clintons are brilliant at managing the media

and run circles around the GOP clowns.

Independents and swing voters will get sick of this circus and Hillary will be immunized against many future attacks. The net result will be that the GOP will obsess over a wild goose trail and their candidates will not get much of limelight unless they do something outrageous like barbecuing a child of poor parents on wall street. I'm sure Scott Walker or Rick Perry or Chris Christie will attend.

[android fan]

19. In other words, avoiding real work...

you know, jobs, education, health care, and seniors?

[sadoldgirl]

20. I wonder if this is just a diversion

from the 47 letter disaster, because it would be
in their interest to wait until June or July after
she has declared.

In the meantime I am waiting for Tuesday's results
from Israel.

[asiliveandbreathe]

21. Deflect much republiklans

Can't take the heat? - seems to me them ther' 47 signatures just nailed the republiklans coffin for 2016..so, so many up for reelection...

I am a liberal because I don't have time for hate! RIP Lauren Bacall

[blkmusclmachine]

23. Whatever.
