Senators Grassley and Feinstein Confirm Trump Not Part of Russia FBI Investigation

Senator Grassley – […] Mr. Comey did brief Ranking Member Feinstein and me on who the targets of the various investigations are. It would not be appropriate for me to reveal those details before the professionals conducting the investigations are ready. So, I will not answer any questions about who are targets of the ongoing Russia investigations. But I will say this: Shortly after Director Comey briefed us, I tweeted that he should be transparent. I said he should tell the public what he told Senator Feinstein and me about whether the FBI is or is not investigating the President.

On Tuesday, the President’s letter said that Director Comey told him he was not under investigation. Senator Feinstein and I heard nothing that contradicted the President’s statement. Now Mr. Comey is no longer the FBI director. But the FBI should still follow my advice. It should confirm to the public whether it is or is not investigating the President. Because it has failed to make this clear, speculation has run rampant.

Doesn’t mean a thing, IMO. The rats will play out the collusion for the next 4 years.

[Bullish]

Democrats are digging themselves a deep hole that they’re going to get buried in come 2020.

[littleharbour]

So Trump fired Comey to block an investigation that didn’t involve him. Impeach the wretch! /s

THAT is the money quote and simultaneously the biggest injustice of all.

NOBODY would give a Tinker's Dam about the Russia Hearings were it not for the slightest possibility of finding even a weak link between Candidate Trump and the evil Russians!

This is what the screaming is all about from the Opposition Party's Brain Trusts in D.C. and NYC: Dem senators, congress critters, the DNC, NYT, WaPost, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, PMSNBC, WH press corps, and all their online publications and raunchy journalists!

It's all a giant HOAX, just like POTUS says.

They know how to manipulate thier idiot masses thru the media, this Russia farce will continue

[norwaypinesavage]

Wow! That certainly is important news. I’m sure it will be all over the major networks - NOT.

[Liz]

It's all a giant hoax.......which the Dumbocrats will milk for all its worth.

Remember, they have nothing else to do. They got a lot of time on their hands.

Besides, the Dumbos are too stupid to realize that 65 million Trumpers could not care less.

Sen Grassley:

...But the FBI should still follow my advice. It should confirm to the public whether it is or is not investigating the President. Because it has failed to make this clear, speculation has run rampant.

IMHO The FBI should unequivocally state that there is NO EVIDENCE That the candidate Trump colluded with Russia during the campaign.

Thanx Hoosiermama

Rest assured that if they find something as ridiculous as a Trump organization bank account in a bank that is also used by any Russian anything that they will shout that out across the land as their vindication.

Russia must be laughing up their sleeves watching as the U.S. tears itself apart over a Democrat EXCUSE for losing the election.

They are trying to relive their glory days of Whitewater. They would love to take down this President.

[onyx]

These hearings are LOSERS.

I’ll wager the appetite and audience all but disappear now that President Trump is not a target.

[blueplum]

you know, Grassley saying Comey told him and Feinstein that Trump was not the target of an investigation, reminded me of Priebus and McCabe. So, either MaCabe, Priebus, Trump, Grassley, and Feinstein are all lying or they’re all telling the truth.

Time to stroll down memory lane:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/feb/24/donald-trump-russia-reince-priebus-fbi-talks-james-comey

“The conversations between Priebus and the FBI concern a New York Times article on 14 February, which reported that calls and phone records intercepted by US intelligence showed a pattern of communication between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence officials.

Following an administration meeting the next morning, according to the White House, McCabe told Priebus there was nothing to the New York Times’ report, using a colorful phrase. Priebus asked: “What can we do about this?” McCabe gave no answer, and told the White House chief of staff he would get back to Priebus on the issue...Some time later, senior administration officials told reporters, McCabe called Priebus and said: “We’d love to help but we can’t get into the position of making statements on every story.”

Priebus then asked if he could cite anonymous senior intelligence officials in rebutting the Times article, to which McCabe agreed.

Afterward, FBI director James Comey called Priebus and echoed McCabe’s comments. While the story was baseless, Comey declined to issue an FBI statement saying so publicly, according to senior officials.

Spot on tweet, by POTUS!!

I’ve had enough of this fake Russia news bs. Tired of MY tax $$ funding the #DemObstruction :(

[hoosiermama]

The investigation should be who created this fake news and distributed it!

[Lady Heron]

Now Mr. Comey is no longer the FBI director. But the FBI should still follow my advice.

Please, after 8 years of Obama all the top people at the FBI are political democrats and are using the FBI to cover democrat crime and go on a political witch hunt against anyone connected to Trump. That is not going to change with just one firing.

[xzins]

I hope you are right, but I don’t think the democrat media party will drop it. It’s all they have.

I heard Bob Beckel explain his lack of facts, laws broken, and proof of collusion. He said in short that they just haven’t been made public yet.

I can see the dems running on that for months.
