Chaffetz thanks Clinton for her service while promising the email 'investigation continues'

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), who heads the House Oversight Committee, thanked former Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton for her service Friday while simultaneously pledging, “the investigation continues.”

“The investigation,” of course, refers to Clinton’s use of a private email server, which the FBI probed last year. In July 2016, director James Comey announced no recommendation in the Clinton email investigation, arguing “no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.”

Chaffetz’s call for a continued investigation comes despite Trump’s flip flop on the issue in the days following the election. Then-candidate Trump dubiously promised to appoint a special prosecutor to review the case, even leading chants of “lock her up!” throughout the campaign. Once elected, he reneged on his pledge; spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway told reporters he “doesn’t wish to pursue” charges against the former Secretary of State.

During the Congressional Luncheon Friday, Trump asked Clinton to stand, thanking his former rival for her service. “There’s nothing more I can say, because I have a lot of respect for those two people,” Trump said about Hillary and former President Bill Clinton.

16. Perhaps he'll take it up when he retires! Francis was said to be quite the true believer after all.

Unfortunately, he had go off pizza and pasta a couple of years ago on doctor's orders.

I did too, but voluntarily. The sacrifices we make, I tell you.

2. Told you so.

Knew this never going away. Chaffetz will use this as a Badge of Honor in his quest for a Federal Court Appointment.

4. Even Comey says the investigation is over. I question Chaffetz's sanity.

[cstanleytech]

6. I dont as he is perfectly sane..........a complete and utter asshole but sane. nt

[Wellstone ruled]

8. This will continue

because Chaffetz has supporters with in his Freedom Caucus to put a Clinton in Jail. Knowing some of these actors,they want a Clinton as payback for Nixon. This is just one of their driving forces.

9. You've def nailed the motivation.

Plus they need to distract from the real issue: collusion with Putin.

[Wellstone ruled]

11. Read about the John Birchers

and their many wealthy supporters like Fred Koch and others. Especially the Utah connections with the Main Church in that state.

5. Chaffetz should go play in traffic.

7. Too many people

making too much money from the investigations ... all those fees ...
lawyers, consultants, all the expense of the hearing rooms

This wild goose chase is a cover for the Russian email hacking - they
need to look at the Trump campaign people and lock some of them up

12. Chaffetz from Oct. 8:

Rep. Chaffetz: "My wife Julie and I, we've got a 15-year-old daughter"; Do you think I can look her in the eye?

17. The investigation should continue. It should focus on the actual criminal now--Jason Chaffetz.

Unlike Hillary Clinton, he actually did break the law. And he abused the powers of his office.
