This week, Congressman Andy Biggs led a special order on the U.S. House floor in which he and his his fellow congressmen exposed once again the conflicts of interest of those in the Obama administration. When Congressman Matt Gaetz rose to speak he warned his colleagues that the nation is “at risk of a coup d’etat.”
Gaetz explained that the coup d’etat could occur, “If we allow an unaccountable person with no oversight to undermine the duly elected president of the United States, and I would offer that is precisely what is happening right now with the indisputable conflicts of interest that are present with Mr. Mueller and others at the Department of Justice.
Biggs was joined by Gaetz, Trent Franks, Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Louie Gohmert, Scott Perry, Ted Yoho, and Jody Hice.
The representatives covered Robert Mueller, James Comey, Uranium One, Fusion GPS, the Trump dossier, Hillary Clinton, and the Clinton Foundation.
“As I recall the events of the past two years, it becomes clearer than ever that Robert Mueller should resign,” said Biggs. “If he does not resign, then he should be fired. We believe he has conflicts of interest that do not allow him to proceed with his investigation in an unbiased, independent manner. Further, he has broadened the scope of his investigation far beyond his charge to examine Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential election. In the process, he is helping to destroy the integrity, perception, and credibility of the American justice system.”
“Why in 2016, would James Comey call the Clinton investigation a matter not an investigation? Last time I checked he wasn’t director of the Federal Bureau Matters,” said Jordan. Why would Loretta Lynch meet just one day before the Benghazi report comes out, five days before Secretary Clinton is scheduled to be interviewed, with Bill Clinton on the tarmac in Phoenix? And why after communicating about that meeting, why not use her real name and use Elizabeth Carlyle? If they were just speaking about their grandchildren and golf, she could have used her real name,” Jordan said.
“We have all of these questions about 2016 and what we just learned. If this doesn’t cry out for a special counsel or more investigations from the House Oversight Committee and Judiciary Committee, I don’t know what does, and that’s what we’re doing,” continued Jordan.
Rep. Mark Meadows stated, “For the past year, as our government has been mired in a fruitless, aimless, sometimes laborious investigation on accusations of collusion between the Russian government and the 2016 Trump Presidential campaign, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have insisted that Congress follow where the evidence leads in this investigation.”
“Well, Mr. Speaker, I’m here to tell you today that I agree wholeheartedly, Congress should follow the facts where they lead. However, they’re leading in a very different direction than many of the mainstream media narratives might suggest,” argued Meadows.
“You see,” Meadows explained, “in the process of this investigation we have learned of a fact pattern surrounding the Clinton campaign, and potentially the Obama Administration’s involvement in a targeted campaign, using information from foreign intelligence officials against then-candidate Donald Trump.”
Congressman Trent Franks asked, “Could Mr. Mueller be acting with vengeance? Or to vindicate his good friend and colleague James Comey, who had a very public feud with the president? We don’t know Mr. Speaker but it’s hard to take any charges with this investigation seriously when they’re going about it in this fashion.”
“The main point is this Mr. Speaker, at least James Comey, the media, and the Democrats want collusion to exist between Trump and Russia and when you want something bad you might even begin to believe it’s true even if it’s not. But there’s good news; anyone sincerely looking for the drama of American officials actually colluding with the Kremlin need look no further now than the emerging scandal concerning the sale of American uranium reserves to Russia during Hillary Clinton’s time at the State Department. The FBI in 2009, under the Obama administration, began investing in rate investigating Russia’s use of bribery kickbacks and extortion to gain a bigger foothold in the American atomic energy industry they knew this was happening. The record is clear.”
