republicans still have 19 impeachment cases going against bill clinton over oral sex and still another load against obama claiming hawaii isn't american so, after losing the popular vote by a distance and legal problems of their own it's no surprise they want this in the news.

Here's a link to an image of the bill text that's going to create a lot of pissed-off (and scared) Democrats when the Sewers open for business Thursday morning.
Amendment to House Resolution 446 (scanned image) - imgur.com...
The probe is wide-ranging and includes a mandate for the House Judiciary Committee to dig deep into Lynch’s order to Comey that he should refer to the criminal investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s illicit email server as a “matter,” not an “investigation.”
The probe also will press for document production regarding Comey’s communication with Columbia University Law Professor Daniel Richman, Comey’s friend, of conversations Comey had with President Trump. Richman was the vessel through which Comey leaked to the media details of those conversations with the president after his firing, with an apparent intent of using the media pressure from said leaks to spark the launching of the special counsel investigation of the Russia scandal. That special counsel investigation is being led by Comey’s longtime friend Robert Mueller, another former FBI director.
The investigation will also, per the amendment passed by the House Judiciary Committee, dig into Comey’s decision to “usurp the authority” of Lynch by making his “unusual announcement” that Hillary Clinton would not face criminal charges over the email scandal.
It will inspect Comey’s knowledge of the firm Fusion GPS, the firm that made the fake news anti-Trump dossier that Comey brought to Trump’s attention when he was president-elect...
...and look at any “collusion” between Comey and Mueller—the special counsel leading the Russia probe now—especially regarding Comey’s leak through Richman to the media.
The probe, too, will look into Comey’s potential knowledge of “unmasking” of intelligence and surveillance collected on Donald Trump’s campaign or transition teams—and specifically any role that former National Security Adviser Susan Rice played in that.
But that’s not all: The probe will dig into potential immunity deals given to “co-conspirators” in Hillary Clinton’s email server scandal, including specifically Cheryl Mills, Heather Samuelson, and John Bentel.
It will also look into matters related to the Clinton Foundation’s influence from foreign governments and specifically the Uranium One deal exposed by Clinton Cash—whereby Russians obtained ownership in U.S. uranium assets.
And it will investigate the infamous tarmac meeting between Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch in Phoenix at Sky Harbor International Airport.

Good catch OP. Here is hoping something actually comes of it. lot of people wondering about the investigations, or lack of investigations.
People don't realize that President Trump's "Tweets" are merely to keep Americans informed of what he's thinking. The man has a lot of phone and in-person conversations to try and get things done. The tweets are just the tip of the iceberg.

Is the Mr.Gutierrez guy for real? Someone should fire him immediately. What a condescending prick. This guy is a joke.

Well, this is all fine and good and all, BUT...
What really is a "congressional investigation" anyway???
Seems to me most 'congressional investigations' wind up similarly to trying to define the word "supercalefragelisticexpeealidoshus" (i.e. in never-never land).

Hopefully the person drafted the amendment will get his wish - he is already calling for a Special Counsel investigation.
