Dec. 29 (UPI) — Two outgoing senior House Republicans Friday called for a continued investigation into the FBI and Justice Department’s handling of the Russia investigation and Hillary Clinton’s emails while renewing a request for a second independent counsel.
In a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker and the Justice Department’s Inspector General Michael Horowitz, U.S. Reps. Bob Goodlatte and Trey Gowdy encouraged federal law enforcement leaders to “investigate these matters, consistent with your jurisdiction, so the final definitive accounting can be made to the American people.”
While the letter signaled an end to the House investigation into the handling of Clinton’s emails and Donald Trump’s ties to Russia, Goodlatte, the outgoing chair of the House judiciary committee, and Gowdy, the House oversight committee chair, charged that their work was stymied.
Regrettably, our joint investigation was impacted by institutional protectionism on the part of the DOJ and FBI,” Goodlatte and Gowdy wrote. “For example, the agencies delayed the production of relevant documents and failed to provide witnesses in a timely manner. more here
Typical political speak:
Regrettably, our joint investigation was impacted by institutional protectionism on the part of the DOJ and FBI,” Goodlatte and Gowdy wrote. “For example, the agencies delayed the production of relevant documents and failed to provide witnesses in a timely manner.
Why won’t someone come out and say that due to an ongoing criminal conspiracy and obstruction of justice we simply ran out of time due to our terms ending. It is imperative that a vigorous investigation continue until the perps are brought to justice.

In translation, Gowdy and Goodlatte covered for the deep state. Once again. But man I sure love those Gowdy sound bites.
I want to see Deep State arrests, frog marches and perp walks.
If what you’re doing doesn’t lead to that, then don’t waste my time and money.
the new majority in the House won’t investigate anything related to the clintons or obama, other than possibly to fabricate wrongs committed against them.
While doj and fbi slow walked and obfuscated, outside parties (mi6) also participated in the original crimes. They will never let the truth be known. Look what happened with the awans and their control of House computers. Nothing. Look at feinstein. Nothing.
What couldn’t be stolen from our government was bought. And there aren’t any receipts.
Gee. And nothing happened. I wish I could predict lotto numbers with that much certainty.
Too little, too late. They could have done something over the last 2 years, but chose to only give sound bites. Individuals (not agencies) should have been named and referred for prosecution for obstruction of justice. I’m sorry, but Gowdy has been a huge disappointment.
Just as I predicted. The Bush/Obama FBI was never in trouble with Ryan’s UNIPARTY! It was all a very expensive show! Just, as I said months ago, the “investigation: of GWB;s girl Lerner. Bogus from the get go! Trey + Paul are both liberal liars.
Deeds are what is important! Not words!
Gowdy brought the same vigorous focus to this investigation as he did with the Libya hearings. All hat and no cattle.
Settling that account? So Goodlatte, Gowdy, Horowitz, and Whitaker are down with boxcars and boxcars for Party members in good standing? Who knew?
