Democrats Call For Probe Of FBI Leaks About Clinton After Rudy Giuliani’s Comments
“It is absolutely unacceptable for the FBI to leak unsubstantiated — and in some cases false — information about one presidential candidate to benefit the other candidate.”

WASHINGTON ― Two House Democrats asked the Justice Department’s internal watchdog on Friday to investigate leaks of information about the FBI investigation into Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

In a letter to the Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General, Reps. Elijah Cummings (Md.) and John Conyers (Mich.) cited comments from former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who said Friday that he obtained information about the FBI’s Clinton investigation long before Director James Comey sent a letter to members of Congress last Friday about new emails that may have been relevant to the Clinton probe.
Giuliani is an adviser to GOP nominee Donald Trump and a former top federal prosecutor.

it'll speak volumes about MSNBC. I can't decide whether I can take it at this point or not.

Elijah Cummings, thank you.

As he sets out to disprove the source of this b.s., you know he's on a mission that will absolutely disqualify any more of Chaffetz's claim of further investigation or impeachment.

That is the bomb that'll be dropped in Chaffetz & Gowdy's laps.
There will be nothing credible left for them to damage Clinton's Presidency with.
Damn, if their game didn't backfire on every one of them.

Worthless bastards.

He talks about the FBI agents not being able to access Clinton medical records on the concussion and that made them angry. WTF? Maybe someone else at the FBI reviewed the records? A doctor for example? And why is Rudy privy to this info in the first place and why is he blabbering it on Fox?

So many RW a**holes need to have their egos crushed.

Rep Elijah Cummings is about to render justice on Issa, Chaffetz, Gowdy, Ghouliani & Comey & his dirty pit of snakes within the FBI.

Cummings will not stop until they are all gone from our goverment.
Its about justice & integrity. Two critical elements that make up the DNA of Rep Cummings.
