Senator Chuck Grassley says the worst development during his 40-year career in congress has been “more partisanship,” but Grassley says that’s also one of the best things — because it is better defining “who’s a Republican and who’s a Democrat.”
“I think it’s clearer to the American people what the Republican Party stands for and the Democratic Party stands for,” Grassley says.
The presence of “moderate” Republicans and Democrats in congress “blurred” things for voters, according to Grassley.
“And that makes it more fuzzy for the people at the grassroots,” Grassley says.
But Grassley says the higher level of partisanship in congress makes it “harder” to govern.
Grassley answered questions from members of a Des Moines Rotary Club for about half an hour this morning. He was asked about the FBI’s investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of email while she was secretary of state. Grassley suggested if there is “enough evidence to prosecute” Clinton, but it doesn’t happen because of “political interference, then he assumes someone in the F-B-I “is going to leak” reports on Clinton.
“There’s a lot of people in the FBI that are really proud of being FBI people. You wouldn’t call them whistleblowers because they’re not going to classify themselves as whistleblowers — it’s going to be very anonymous — but it’s difficult to keep information quiet.” Grassley told reporters after his Rotary appearance. “You’ve heard me say that if two people know something in Washington, it’s no secret.”
But Grassley said he’s not personally calling on F-B-I agents to release information about Clinton’s emails if she is not indicted.
“I wouldn’t be encouraging it because if it’s a violation of law, I can’t be encouraging a violation of law,” Grassley said.
Grassley told he’s heard rumors FBI agents are upset former General David Petraeus didn’t get a tougher penalty for sharing classified information with his biographer, who he was also having an affair with.
From your lips to God's ears.
...she is going to lose the election to him, big-time. Most likely a landslide.

I suppose that explains why the Dem voters in NY beat Trump so badly...
If anyone leaks at the FBI, they will be indicted, tried and convicted while Hillary goes free! Your Dept. of JustUs @ Work
He's right, but not quite the way he means it.
And it's because if the evidence against her is exposed, it will expose ALL OF THEM, not just her."
I do believe an underling will be indicted so that justice will be cosmetically served and the issue will go away. However I believe that you are correct. Congress and the Administration are in bed together. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Yep.
Should have another grandbaby around election time and then to suddenly, unexpectedly be a widow to boot??!!
They better start leaking then because she is not going to be indicted.
“once Trump gets rid of his Canadian problem he’s going to focus on the witch like a laser...”
W was supposed clean up the Clinton corruption of the 90s, but that did not happen. What makes you so sure Cruz will? Because he said so? All the GOP have done is collaborate with democrats.
To think Cruz will go after Hitlery and Trump won’t is one of the most politically naive notions I have ever heard.
Sorry, I got your post mixed up another. More coffee needed.
