Comey Set for Hot Seat with Congressional Questioners Salivating

Linkedin Share

Of all of the unfinished storylines remaining from the 2016 presidential election, none may be as infuriating as the James Comey/Hillary Clinton email investigation scandal.

During that tumultuous and unique contest, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was found to have violated a number of laws in her use of a private email server within the State Department.   The purpose of this device was to hide personal emails from the government, and, thanks to Wikileaks, we now why:

Clinton was running a pay-to-play scheme from her position as Secretary of State, extorting world leaders for Clinton Foundation donations under the pretense that these gifts would render them worthy of an audience with Clinton herself.

This egregious and infuriating abuse of power had Americans of all political stripes fuming during the 2016 election, and was undoubtedly a factor in Hillary’s embarrassing loss to Donald Trump.

What irked Americans even more was the fact that no one involved with the ordeal was ever brought to justice, including former FBI Director James Comey, who paved the way for Clinton to skate.

Now, Congress is set to have a word with the disgraced spook.

Republicans are poised to grill former FBI Director James Comey on Friday in what could be the final act in a dramatic effort to probe allegations of bias at the Justice Department before Democrats take over the House.

The interview comes just weeks before the House GOP will turn over the majority to Democrats, who are expected to launch a slew of investigations into President Trump, his administration and his business when they take hold of committee gavels.

Comey’s appearance will once again shift focus to a figure who has drawn ire from both Democrats and Republicans for his decisions in 2016 and has remade himself into one of Trump’s fiercest critics since the president ousted him as FBI director last year.

The event will surely be a well-watched one, given the immense anger of the American people on the subject of Comey and Clinton’s collusion.
