What is this ‘we ought to’ garbage? Do it. She violated the law you passed just 30 days ago and now we have proof she is in real time deleting files that show Trump. This is all bullshit and Dems are becoming complicit.

"The Attorney General of the United States has set a new low for this committee," Whitehouse said.
Shouldn't doing what Pam Bondi is accusing James Comey of doing be a scandal that would make her have to resign? In her case it's is easily proven that she lied to the committee.

In an essay published by The Atlantic this week, he wrote, “The White House’s assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. Silence, for me, is now intolerable.”
