<p>At least 20 GOP congressmen are calling to appoint a special counsel to investigate possible wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton and other Democrats during last year&rsquo;s presidential election. ;</p>
<p>In a letter to the Justice Department, Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and fellow GOP members of the House Judiciary Committee complain that Special Counsel Robert Mueller&rsquo;s angle on the Russia investigation fails to take into account &ldquo;other matters related to the 2016 election and aftermath.&rdquo; Former FBI Director Robert Mueller was called in as special counsel to lead the Russia investigation after Trump dismissed James Comey in May. ;</p>
<p>Goodlatte&#8217;s letter highlights actions taken by Obama officials including then-FBI Director James Comey, Hillary Clinton, and then-AG Loretta Lynch, insisting that the following issues require further examination:</p>
<p>&bull; Grants of immunity to possible co-conspirators in the Clinton email investigation ;</p>
<p>&bull; Whether Lynch asked Comey to mislead the public in regards to the Clinton probe ;</p>
<p>&bull; The State Department&rsquo;s role in deciding which of Hillary&rsquo;s emails were made public ;</p>
<p>&bull; Connections between the Clinton family and foreign entities including Ukraine and Russia ;</p>
<p>&bull; The unmasking of American citizens&rsquo; names in the classified documents at the heart of the ;wiretapping scandal</p>
<p>Republicans insist that these questions cannot be allowed to &ldquo;die on the vine&rdquo; amid the intense Russia focus. ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;The American public has a right to know the facts &ndash; all of them &ndash; surrounding the election and its aftermath,&rdquo; reads Goodlatte&rsquo;s letter. &ldquo;We urge you to appoint a second special counsel to ensure these troubling, unanswered questions are not relegated to the dustbin of history.&rdquo;  ;</p>
<p>The push to hire a second counsel comes as AG Jeff Sessions suffers increasing pressure from Trump to revisit last year&rsquo;s controversies concerning Hillary Clinton and Democratic officials. Rumor has it that his job is on the line. ;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Dems are frustrated with Republicans&rsquo; efforts to bring back last year&rsquo;s problems as they try to focus on the question of Russian interference. ;</p>
<p>But recent developments, including Comey&rsquo;s testimony in June, have fueled the interest in returning to last year&#8217;s controversies. ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think that the crimes of the prior administration&hellip;should be forgotten just because Hillary lost the election,&rdquo; argues Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL). ;</p>
<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s note:</strong> I don&#8217;t understand why this hasn&#8217;t already happened. The least rumor of Trump admin wrongdoing is pounced on by the liberal media. But Democrat crimes rise to the level of treason. This has to be investigated.</p>
