Republicans in the House of Representative once again asked for a Special Counsel to investigate the mishandling of the Trump/Clinton investigations. Will Acting AG Matt Whitaker now listen?

On Friday, December 28, 2018, representatives from the House sent a letter to the Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker and others to investigate the actions taken by the DOJ/FBI related to the Clinton and Trump investigations.

The short version of this letter is that it's everything we already knew about the mishandling of the Trump/Clinton investigations and yet another request for a Special Counsel to investigate it. Also complaining about being stonewalled by the DOJ/FBI. Same old nothing, no action https://t.co/vpEvPURS1S

In the last paragraph to the letter, the outgoing Reps state that they believe that a Special Counsel should be created to investigate the actions by the FBI and DOJ related to the Clinton and Trump investigations before and after the election –

It’s long overdue for a report to be sent to the DOJ with such a request but then again, it was only going to be ignored by former AG Sessions. Let’s see what actions Whitaker takes.
