A PETITION FOR CONSIDERATION OF ACTION BY CONGRESS



Whereas: The House Judiciary Committee has jurisdiction over matters relating to the administration of justice in Federal Courts, Administrative bodies and Law Enforcement Agencies, and;

Whereas: On July 5th, 2016, FBI Director James Comey announced that the FBI has determined that several potential violations of law may have been committed by Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, a Candidate for the office of President of the United States, and;

Whereas: On July 5th 2016, FBI Director James Comey stated the investigation began as a referral from the Intelligence Community Inspector General in connection with Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal e-mail server during her time as Secretary of State and focused on whether classified information was transmitted on that personal system, and;

Whereas: On July 5th, 2016 FBI Director James Comey provided several areas of the investigation and stated in the affirmative that Sec. Clinton did the following:

Utilized multiple unauthorized servers over an extended period of time for the purpose of sending and receiving emails for official business in her official capacity as Secretary of State;

Utilized multiple mobile devices over an extended period of time for the purpose of sending and receiving emails for official business in her official capacity as Secretary of State;

Failed to produce all work related emails to the FBI as Sec. Clinton has stated on multiple national networks and news agencies repeatedly;

Failed to archive official emails as required by federal law and statutes;

Failed to provide appropriate security for all emails that were on the unauthorized, some of which were both marked Classified, as well as other emails that were Classified in nature without markings, for which, no distinction is technically necessary;

Failed to provide appropriate and proper security for emails found on the unauthorized servers at the Top Secret / Special Access Program level when they were sent and received;

Failed to distinguish the need for security for Top Secret / Special Access Program level emails although a person in her prior positions should have known that an unclassified system was no place for those conversations;

Had regular conversations with others whom the FBI determined hostile actors gained access to their private commercial email accounts thus placing sensitive information at risk; and

Whereas: On July 7th, 2016, FBI Director James Comey testified under Oath before the House Oversight and Reforms Committee to further elaborate on his sole decision not to recommend protection for the above mentioned violations of Federal Statutes, despite very clear facts outlining the above violations by Secretary Clinton, and;

Whereas: FBI Director Comey's announcement followed an unscheduled meeting between former President William Jefferson Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch on June 27th, 2016 on-board a United States government private airplane giving the appearance of impropriety and possible influencing the outcome of the FBI Director's decision to bring forth a recommendation to prosecute Secretary Clinton, and;

Whereas: United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch has testified under Oath before the House Judiciary Full Committee on July 12, 2016 at which time General Lynch provided minimal details of her conversations with former President William Jefferson Clinton on June 27, 2016, giving continued concerns of the appearance of impropriety and;

Whereas: United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch was admonished by House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte for failing to respond to questions in regards to her failure to uphold the law by not prosecuting Secretary Clinton, not responding to even the most basic questions by the Committee, and;

Whereas: United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch admitted that she only utilizes a separate and distinct email system to send and receive classified and sensitive information and stated the importance to utilize official email to do official business in order to secure important information, and;

Whereas: United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch is the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the nation and represents the United States in legal matters, in a fair and impartial manner for all Americans, and;

Whereas: United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch during sworn testimony before the Judiciary Committee did not provide or offer an explanation to Committee Members in a satisfactory manner that diminished the perception of "Dual Tracks of Justice" as established by Representative Gowdy nor diminished the perception impropriety, and;

Whereas: United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch should have known that her ongoing and long-standing relationship with former President William J. Clinton as well as her decision to not recuse herself from this investigation and potential protection against his wife Hillary R. Clinton demonstrated poor judgement and potential Ethical Violations within the practice of Law;

THEREFORE:

"We the People" who have entrusted our elected Representatives to maintain the checks and balances of our Government, are requesting this Committee, or any Committee of the House that has the appropriate jurisdiction to do so, bring forth action to investigate and commence Articles of Impeachment of United States Attorney General for failure to maintain the Oath of Office for which she took on April 27, 2015, and/or failure to utilize sound judgement and ethical standards overseeing the investigation and potential prosecution of Hillary R. Clinton up to and including self-recusal and the appointment of Independent Special Prosecutors not connected to either former President William J. Clinton or Secretary Hillary R. Clinton.

We ask for your immediate and expeditious consideration to commence this request prior to the July 15, 2016 "summer vacation" of Congress.
