Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) called Tuesday for the Department of Justice to appoint a special counsel to investigate the Uranium One scandal after reports that suggest the FBI knew of Russian bribery and money laundering leading up to the 2010 deal.
Grassley, writing on Twitter, said, “Whoever in DOJ is capable [with] authority to appoint a special counsel [should] do so to investigate” the Uranium One scandal.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself in March from any investigations into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election after a controversy arose about his meetings with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, meetings that he did not disclose at his confirmation hearing.
Grassley’s call for a special counsel comes in the wake of reporting by The Hill that the FBI had found evidence of Russia’s involvement in “bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering” to grow their energy business in the U.S. and that Russian nuclear officials had routed “millions of dollars” to donate to the Clinton Foundation ahead of the partial sale of Uranium One to Russian energy giant Rosatom.

“calls for” as if its somehow an option or merely a good idea,
All of the non-corrupted members of Congress should be lined up behind him and demanding an investigation, this is far far worse than Watergate,
So, the Kansas Grassman decided to growl
Excellent idea Grassley. But who do we trust with that job? I really have no idea.
I am mostly against these “special counsels’ but to properly investigate the Uraniam deal it might be better because Obama still owns a large chunk of the DoJ. If that portion of the swamp were to be drained suddenly there would be little left and almost no experience.
It’s time for Jeff Sessions to UN-Recues himself since the only reason that he recuse himself was an investigation into Trump and now that the tide has turned away from Trump, He needs to take control of the Justice Department and restore confidence and integrity again to the Justice Department.
Good idea but the Democrats will block it and the Republicans won’t stand up to them. Any other result would be absolutely shocking.
” Whoever has authority” should appoint an jnvestigator
What a toothless rant from yet another octogenarian Senator past his prime
YOU have authority SENATOR to restore the rule of law to this entrenched oligarchy of government corruption
GD start using it or get out of the way
Agree. The DoJ is still compromised and, if it is Rosenstein that appoints, expect another MASSIVE cover up to protect the Obama Admin.
I thought it was ‘we’re all going to hang’.
Speechmaking noise at this moment.
I still see it as the new Benghazi, an emotional issue for the new election cycle.
It ends up going nowhere.
Mueller is going to be one of the targets instead of being in charge
It’s starting to appear that Bobby “the Fumigator” Mueller is the Obama/Clintoon syndicate’s Sandy “the Sanitizer” Burglar. Sandy “the sanitizer”was sent into the Archives to clean up the Clintoon administration’s crimes by stuffing incriminating documents into his socks and shorts, Mueller was given full access to everything Russki to clean up the “collusion” between the Russkis and the Obama/Clintoon crime families. I was wondering why the Russki “collusion” fairytale was so important to the communist, “democrat” party and why Clintoon said that they were all going to hang if Trump got elected. Now I know.
Astute, you are.....
Step one - fire Jeff Sessions!
Are wives of former US presidents entitled to lifetime Secret Service protection? How about IN federal prison?
Good deal. People need to go to jail.
She would have her lawyers drag things out til her death.
