Reckless Accusation a High Crime or Misdemeanor?

[donquixote99]

FBI Director Comey is doing an odd thing: asking the Justice Department to deny that there were wiretaps as alleged by Trump, instead of denying it himself. Probably relates to Trump being a sitting president, while Hillary Clinton, one week before the election, wasn't.

Trump calls for a congressional investigation. I agree. I'd like the House to investigate whether this reckless libel against the previous President, this blatant huge lie, itself rises to the level of a 'high crime or misdemeanor.'
