How do we make this about Hillary?

Watergate wasn’t the problem. Deep Throat was the problem.

At least that’s the position of the House Oversight Committee under Jason Chaffetz and the Judiciary Committee chaired by Bob Goodlatte. After spending years of the committee’s time pursuing Hillary Clinton despite a singular lack of evidence, Chaffetz has unleashed the committee over the Trump regime’s Russia connections — but not against Trump. They want to know who is telling the American public the truth about Trump. So they can stop it.

In a letter to the Inspector General, Chaffetz and Goodlatte note their committees’ awesome powers to investigate anything at any time.

The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is the principle oversight committee of the House of Representatives and may at “any time” investigate “any matter” as set forth in House Rule X. The Committee of the Judiciary has jurisdiction over the Department of Justice and the nation’s criminal and surveillance laws.

How is this massive authority to be used? In protection of Donald Trump.
