You can see their supercool letter here, if you are so inclined!
Recall this exchange during FBI Director James Comey's testimony before a Congressional committee last week, during which Rep. Jason Chaffetz erased any lingering doubt that it was nothing more than a fishing expedition to find any reason to protract this ludicrous partisan spectacle:
Comey to Chaffetz: We have no basis to conclude Hillary Clinton lied to FBI. #ComeyHearing https://t.co/CZskUShETI https://t.co/eiF6H9Lx0X

Chaffetz: Did Hillary Clinton lie?So here we are.
Comey: To the FBI? We have no basis to conclude she lied to the FBI.
Chaffetz: Did she lie to the public?
Comey: That's a question I'm not qualified to answer. I can speak about what she said to the FBI.
Chaffetz: Did she—did Hillary Clinton lie under oath?
Comey: Not to the FBI. Not on a case we're working.
Chaffetz: Did you review the documents where Congressman Jim Jordan asked her specifically, and she said, quote, "There was nothing marked classified on my emails, either sent or received," end-quote?
Comey: I don't remember reviewing that particular testimony. I'm aware of that being said, though.
Chaffetz: Did the FBI investigate her statements under oath on this topic?
Comey: Not to my knowledge. I don't think there's been a referral from Congress.
Chaffetz: Do you need a referral from Congress to investigate her—her statements under oath?
Comey: Sure do.
Chaffetz: You'll have one! [laughs] You'll have one in the next few hours!
It's good that the country is in perfect shape right now, so that Republicans can keep their focus on what matters.
