The Republican led House Judiciary and Oversight committees have just announced the opening of a new investigation pertaining to Hillary Clinton's emails. No, I am not kidding.

Do you seriously have nothing better to do with your time?

Courtesy of The Hill: 

The chairmen of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees announced on Tuesday a joint investigation into how the FBI handled last year's investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server. 

"Decisions made by the Department of Justice in 2016 have led to a host of outstanding questions that must be answered," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) said in a joint statement. 

The two Republican leaders said they have questions about the FBI's decision to openly declare the bureau's investigation into Clinton's handling of classified information, while quietly investigating Trump campaign associates. 

They are also interested to know why the FBI decided to formally notify Congress of the probe on two separate occasions; why the FBI — rather than the Justice Department — recommended that Clinton not be charged after the investigation concluded; and the reasoning behind their timeline for announcing such decisions. 

"The Committees will review these decisions and others to better understand the reasoning behind how certain conclusions were drawn. Congress has a constitutional duty to preserve the integrity of our justice system by ensuring transparency and accountability of actions taken," their statement continued.

Congress has a constitutional responsibility to make sure that taxpayer money is spent on important investigations that safeguard or benefit the American people.

These do nothing of the sort.

While those two probes are going on Devin Nunes of the House Intelligence Committee is also launching his own investigation:

The embattled chairman of the House Intelligence Committee announced on Tuesday that he has opened an investigation into a deal struck between the US and a predominantly Russia-owned uranium company based in Canada, Uranium One, while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. 

Devin Nunes' announcement came one week after The Hill published a report on a "racketeering scheme ... designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton's charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow." 

The New York Times reported in 2015 that "as the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation." The Times' reporting built off of "Clinton Cash," a book by conservative author Peter Schweizer that the Clintons dismissed as partisan conspiracy-mongering.

So instead of investigating the actual and dangerous attempts by Russia to undermine our democracy, or the very real possibility that they were successfully in doing that while aided by members of the Trump campaign, THIS is how the Republicans in Congress believe their time is best spent.

I think this tweet more or less sums up my feelings on this.

Goddamnit, if we're getting a bunch of Clinton probes, can she at least be president? https://t.co/5OYqc13NxR

Seems fair.

If you want to know more about what triggered this "new" investigation by Nunes, Politifact has an excellent summation.

Spoiler alert: It's essentially another nothing burger.
