House Intelligence Committee subpoenas DOJ and FBI for Trump dossier documents
Dennis Michael Lynch ^ | September 6, 2017 | Ben Brady

Following a report yesterday on the lack of information sharing between the House, Senate, and special counsel probes into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday submitted a formal subpoena to the Justice department and FBI for documents in the Trump dossier they have been unable to obtain.

The committee reportedly submitted the subpoenas back on Aug. 24, giving the Justice Department and FBI until last Friday, Sep. 1, to turn over the information. Now that the two bodies have not been forthcoming with the documents requested, the committee has given them an extension until Sep. 14.

Illustrating the near breaking point that tensions have reached between investigations, the committee also issued two subsequent subpoenas on Tuesday to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray, asking them to testify before the committee, explaining the lack of cooperation.

Not holding my breath, but the ComDem and MSM recent actions indicate they know something new is up. I think they know bad things are about to be revealed, exposing their criminal acts.

How about a 5AM no-knock search and seizure?

I am not sure where you would knock.

Nobody would be home at the FBI and DOJ at 5AM. hee hee hee

Now with Mueller’s “investigation”, we will see if they “lost” the documents?

I still don’t know why President Trump doesn’t just make a phone call and tell somebody to get it done or get out.

Is it not the least bit curious that the name of that person, that lord McCain sent has never been leaked?

What an oxymoron: House Intelligence Committee.

If the House Intelligence Committee was truly serious they would start with issuing subpoenas given the past behavior of these agencies. They should have issued subpoenas in February of 2017 at the latest.

Glad to see this. I've been curious myself why these departments are dragging so much on information with these two now at the helm. Look forward to hearing from their own mouths.

He said he did. Guess he did.

I’m not one of his fans. This is more of the same for him.

Stunning. A republican controlled congress has to subpoena a justice department under the control of republican president to get documents regarding their investigations.Anyone doubting existence of a "deep state," consider the implications of this.

Oh, the Deep State does exist.

They hold some personal secrets too.

re Mueller’s raid, the Executive branch is investigating the Executive branch - ostensibly - but what really happened is that by seizing Manafort’s documents that were to be presented to Congress that very day, they interfered with Congressional oversight.

This special counsel is a criminal conspiracy to obscure and conceal the criminal acts of Comey and Lynch, et al.

Thanks.

I expected that from the first. That picture of Comey and Mueller with knowing looks spoke volumes.
