From The Hill:
Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are asking for a second special counsel separate from Robert Mueller to probe aspects of the 2016 election and actions by officials in the Obama administration, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and other Republicans on the committee sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Thursday requesting the appointment of a second special counsel, according to NBC News reporter Frank Thorp.
The letter asked that the second special counsel investigates officials including former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former FBI Director James Comey.
The lawmakers also cite concerns with Mueller’s probe, accusing it of being too narrow. The letter comes a day after Republicans on the committee voted to request documents related to Comey’s communications with the Obama administration and journalists.GO READ THE WHOLE THING.

Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) is the man who defeated Eric Cantor in the primary.
In last night's "Crowdsource the Truth" video with Jason Goodman, George Webb and Trish Pagon - ff approx 52 minute mark to hear Webb explain that Congress remains vulnerable to Awan brothers hacking if they continue to use the doped blackberry phones they've been using for the last dozen or so years. Doped blackberries will continue to sync with doped laptops which sync with equipment - Awans allegedly kept their own servers off site - so any IT equipment serviced/supplied by the Awans remains vulnerable.
Regarding the Awan Brothers IT scandal in Congress....
No mention has been made of the off site server(s) which can sync with doped electronics serviced by the Awans either.
Interesting development on the individuals behind the complaint filed against Imran Awan. At first it was rumored that Debbie Wasserman Schultz's brother was involved in the case.
Confusion over this likely comes from this…The legal complaint filed against Imran Awan was filed in US District Court for the District of Columbia.

Sure, Steven Wasserman, DWS’s brother, is an Assistant US Attorney at US Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. However, Wasserman is but one of 350 Assistant U.S. Attorneys in that office. Steven Wasserman's name is no-where on that criminal complaint. It was signed by one Michael J. Marando, another one of the 350.
Now, this is where it gets interesting. (via NYT 4/25/2015): Michael J. Marando is married to JoAnna Wasserman.
Another disturbing fact about the legal complaint against Imran Awan surfaced.
This complaint incorrectly states the loan was insured by the FDIC. Deposits are insured by the FDIC...loans?

However, Congressional Credit Union loans are insured by the National Credit Union Association (NCUA). This error sets up a potential material flaw in the complaint to get the whole thing thrown out on a technicality .
So, here we have the biggest international spy case - ever - handed over to a new FBI agent fresh out of Quantico (1 year) (Brandon C. Merriman) - a bone head move (says George Webb/CrowdsourcetheTruth)
