House Republicans want to turn October into a month of hearings ... about Hillary Clinton's email - Daily Kos

Donald Trump and House Republicans are looking for one potential "October surprise" by forcing the Department of Justice and FBI to pony up a stack of unredacted documents and texts from which alt-Reich sites can generate fresh conspiracy theories. But they also have another iron in the CT fire: A last minute parade of James Comey, Loretta Lynch, and Sally Yates all propped in front of cameras so Republicans can take turns yelling at them about things they've already investigated endlessly. ....

Sally Yates: Protect the Justice Department From President Trump - NYTimes.com
