The FBI’s agreement to pay the author of the unsubstantiated dossier on Donald Trump while he was working for an opposition research firm tied to Hillary Clinton raises questions about the bureau’s “independence from politics,” the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee is claiming.
In a letter sent to FBI director James Comey on Monday, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley asked for more detail about revelations made in a Washington Post article last week about an agreement the FBI made with Christopher Steele, the author of the dossier and a former MI6 agent.
The Post reported that the FBI agreed in October to pay Steele to continue his research on potential ties between Trump associates and the Russian government. Steele was also working at the time for Fusion GPS, a Washington, D.C.-based opposition research firm that had been hired by an ally of Hillary Clinton in June to dig up dirt on Trump.

PING...
Wow. Am I reading too much into this? Or did Senator Grassley (an unlikely hero) just pull the thread that causes the whole thing to unravel?
I think you and I just decided that is exactly what Grassley did...he, he, he...
“Wow. Am I reading too much into this? Or did Senator Grassley (an unlikely hero) just pull the thread that causes the whole thing to unravel?”
I like the way you think.
I love it.
This is fantastic.
Add to this, McCain sent over an aide to England to pick up this dossier. He then said he handed it over to the FBI, when it appears the FBI had it all along (and paid for it)!
This is getting crazier by the minute.
Just waiting for the Graham - McLame connection.
Chips are about to fall.
This feels like Christmas.

I think the ‘House of Cards’ is about to go up in flames...hopefully when President Trump finds the plug in the swamp then he can pull it and it will start to drain!!!
I have never had a problem with Grassly he has always seem to come down on our side!!!!
As usual, Mccain looks reactional, emotional, vindictive—which we all know he is—hopefully this will indict him too so the good people of AZ can finally get rid of him!
wait...and they use McCain as the bag man in December ?
something ain’t right here...
Ms. Harley, this Louisiana girl knows alllll about swamps and this sucker is leaking big time!!!!!!!!

Drudge has it now.
Hoping to read that Comey has resigned.
Is there some reason why Trump/Sessions won’t/can’t fire FBI director Comey? An inquiring mind wants to know. If ever there was an employee begging for dismissal it’s Comey.
They paid the guy that made up the story about Trump having hookers pee on a bed and you think the FBI is protecting the President from Russians?
The FBI protecting the country from a presidential nominee? That isn’t acceptable.
