A Republican member of the House Benghazi committee says he is "hopeful" the Justice Department will bring charges against Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for having classified information on her private email server.
Rep. Mike Pompeo of Kansas said there is increasing evidence that "an enormous amount of information" on Clinton's private server is classified.
"It was classified when it was on her server, and it was classified when it was sent," Pompeo told conservative radio host Lars Larson on Thursday.
Pompeo said he is "anxious" for the Justice Department and FBI to make a determination on whether to bring charges against Clinton as quickly as possible. If charges are made, a grand jury will determine whether to indict.
"I think that there is only one answer that can be reached, and I am hopeful that will be the outcome that the FBI achieves," said Pompeo, who also serves on the House Intelligence Committee.
"These are just facts," Pompeo added. "We've all seen the reports of the classified information on her server. It could not and should not have been lawfully handled in the way that she did it."
I think it is very unlikely that the FBI or Justice Department is going to bring charges against Hillary.
But when they don't I still doubt that will be the last we here about Benghazi.
This thing has become the dead horse that the conservatives never tire of beating.
By the way this Pompeo guy is the same guy who claimed back in October that Benghazi was "worse than Watergate."
Hell, I saw that there is a movie out about it now. Maybe a little "revisionist history" like that that awful "American Sniper" movie (I just can't get past the fake baby in that one!) or the "Zero Dark Thirty" movie?
ReplyDeleteSeems like the only way to communicate with some Americans is through the cinema? What's up with that?
Marshall McLuhan :The medium is the message.
DeleteThe revolution will not be televised
The revolution will be live.
I am so glad they are spending my tax money so wisely investigating this Ben Ghazi guy. Hilary must have had an affair with him, since she used her own server.
ReplyDeleteJust like they spend all the time and tax dollars to investigate the WMD and invasion of Iraqi. Oh wait....
If only Republicans were as interested in governing as they are in prosecuting. With regard to Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, there simply is not there there. These GOP fools in Congress have wasted taxpayer money every day since January 20, 2009 because they don't like the man who has now been twice elected, with substantial majorities, to the presidency. Something like 62 votes in the House over the years to overturn the ACA, dozens of hearings on the Benghazi whatever-that-isn't. Sane Americans have got to vote them out of office come November.

Since so many republicans cheat regularly, they assume that everyone else does, too. We do have to vote as many of them out of office as possible in November.

ReplyDeleteThey go in looking for a felony and end up trying to turn a lower case misdemeanor into murder.
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck???
I am so, so sorry for that poor, poor horse.
ReplyDeleteThey're hoping for the equivalent of a stained blue dress.
ReplyDeleteThis past week Joe DiGenova ( former US Attorney) was saying that the FBI is looking to charge her in the next couple of months. In other wishful-thinking news, I'm winning $900,000,000 in tonight's powerball
ReplyDeleteYa' know what these assholes have been planning this shit for at least 2 years or more. Low life teabaggin mofo's bottom dwelling piece of shit traitors. Wasting my and your tax money on a fanatical quest to smear Hillary. These so called christians
ReplyDeleteCan kiss my atheist ass.
Should rot in their
Couldn't have said it better, myself.
DeleteThe fight is for control of the Supreme court. Remember that no Republican be in control of electing any more of people who only can pass judgement because of religion (ie Scalila). What a national embarresment!
DeleteHow she doesn't bust out laughing or go into REM sleep during these frivolous money wasters is just beyond me.
ReplyDeleteAnd Sarah sunk her own battleship by not being able to answer one thing she's read that prepared her for the position of "Former Vice President Pick".
Life is so damn unfair sometimes!!! HA!!!!
They have nothing BUT dead horses to beat. And WE THE PEOPLE are paying for them to do so.
ReplyDeleteWell, you gotta remember that these are the same fuck knuckles that went apoplectic about a blow job. They never fail to amuse.
ReplyDeleteI've seen this "meme" (about how, any day now, evidence will magically appear) about 30 times in the last several years.
ReplyDeleteEven the simpleton villagers of the Middle Ages, were savvy enough to ignore the little prick who kept yelling "WOLF!" after the third time.
Just how many times do Republicans need, to wise up to being punked over and over?
Seems like you left out that bit that Clinton has been caught in recently released emails instructing an aid to remove confidential markings and send via non-secure systems. oopsy.
ReplyDeleteOkay. First, is it Benghazi or is it E-mail.
ReplyDeleteI guess after, what? ELEVEN hearings that resulting in squat, they're now going to try to tie both events together and have more hearings until they finally find something?
I doubt it.
No, they're going to smear Hillary with insinuation until after the elections, hoping enough sticks to torpedo her chances.
