GOP Rep. Suggests FBI Look Into Staff Who Emailed Classified Info to Clinton

During the House oversight hearing with FBI Director James Comey on Thursday, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) suggested that the FBI launch an investigation into the people who sent classified information to Hillary Clinton over email.

Comey told Massie that in some of the cases where classified information wound up on Clinton’s private server, staff had forwarded the information in a chain of emails until it eventually reached Clinton herself.

Massie then asked if “someone down the chain” was being investigated by the FBI, arguing that the staff member may have known they were sending classified information. Comey noted that the FBI is not currently investigating any such person.

“I would suggest maybe you might want to do that,” Massie told Comey.

  1. Given how many leaks there has been, why not every Republican on the committee gets a full investigation on them.

  2. OK. We can’t get Hillary but maybe we can get somebody way down the line who had legitimate access to classified info but sent it to Hillary on the private server they didn’t know she had.

    After they decide there is nothing here, they will just start something new. It is all about the election, because they realize the “Clown Car” is not going to win and hopefully the Dems will take the Senate back and maybe (big maybe) the house

  4. They wont take the house, because the media is more interested in ratings so they will keep up the dog and pony show rather than doing their job and reporting just how bad Republicans are messing up the government.

  5. And there are some IBEW Union guys who strung the cable that fed Hillary’s server. Look into them, too, would you please?
