It's political retaliation against Comey and Mueller for the investigation against Trump. Also they are trying to rejumpstart the Hillary Clinton witch hunts.

I tried to check from congress, but there under H.Res 446 did find only the piece requesting information relating to firing of Comey.
So I take, this text, albeit spot on, is not the one currently moving on in the doll house.

Oh brother.....maybe you should do some of that research the other libs here can't seem to do either....
Link to proof
“The Majority has shown itself to be in complete lockstep with President Trump. Rather than talk about a crisis at the Department of Justice, our colleagues would rather re-litigate the 2016 election and question the credibility of a long list of public servants who no longer work for the government.
“There is simply no excuse for our Committee’s failure to hold a single oversight hearing on these matters. Their attempt to hide behind stale conspiracy theories is both tone deaf and counterproductive. It makes the Majority complicit in the actions of President Trump and his associates.
“I am disappointed that the Republicans denied us an opportunity to debate our resolution, but we will not be deterred. Whether the crisis comes to the Committee or the Committee comes to the crisis, we will conduct oversight of the Trump Administration.”
