"Ethical leaders do not run from criticism, especially self-criticism, and they don’t hide from uncomfortable questions. They welcome them."

"Those leaders who never think they are wrong, who never question their judgments or perspectives, are a danger to the organizations and people they lead. In some cases, they are a danger to the nation and the world."

Klamath Falls, OR— The authoritarianism is coming from inside the House.
The point here is almost certainly not to generate any actual prosecutions so much as it is to try to muddy the waters in the media — creating a two-sided battle between and his “deep state” enemies rather than the reality that the Trump investigation has been led almost entirely by Republicans and career civil servants.
Eleven House Republicans — Ron DeSantis, Andy Biggs, Dave Brat, Jeff Duncan, Matt Gaetz, Paul Gosar, Andy Harris, Jody Hice, Todd Rokita, Claudia Tenney, and Ted Yoho — have signed a joint letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions calling for the criminal prosecution of Hillary Clinton and a variety of other Obama administration appointees, career FBI officials, and even Trump appointee Dana Boente, who is currently the FBI’s general counsel.
The lead of the letter states that the authors are “especially mindful of the dissimilar degrees of zealousness that has marked the investigations into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, respectively.”
The 11 House Republicans are the lackeys of Trump who are trying to pressure the DOJ into opening a second investigation that they can use to distract from the Mueller and Cohen investigation. Hillary Clinton has been investigated more than any former candidate in modern history. Republicans are trying to run on Hillary Clinton again because they are realizing that they are toast unless they can find a counter scandal that Trump can hide behind.
The call for an investigation of Comey is an obvious effort to discredit the former FBI director and the story that he is telling.
Republicans are desperate and have nothing to run on.
House Republicans are desperate. As the political landscape currently stands, they are poised to lose the House. They may also lose the Senate. The tax cut bill that they planned on running on is not popular with voters, and they have an unstable president who is distracting from any agenda that they might try to set by ranting about anything and everything that gets under his skin. Republicans have nothing, which is why they are pulling
Hillary Clinton out of mothballs and trying to discredit Comey.
The Republican Party is has gone off the cliff and is grasping at anything in the hopes of stopping their historic plummet toward failure.
