U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, released a majority staff report Wednesday titled “The Clinton Email Scandal And The FBI’s Investigation Of It,” along with text messages between two agents that shed light on the investigation. The report details the congressional investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server and the oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s involvement with their investigation of Secretary Clinton’s private server.
The report outlines how information available to the committee at this time raises serious questions about how the FBI applied the rule of law in its investigation. The majority staff report found that:

The FBI text messages can be found here.
The letters Chairman Johnson has sent to various agencies and source documents can be found here.
t y 4 posting, I’m linking to the full report now, & I feel almost giddy!
Someone please wake up jeffie "yokel" Sessions and ask him why the hell these two aren't being perp-walked, much less STILL working at the DOJ???
Mueller, Rosenweasel and their deep state cadre can no longer operate with the impunity they’ve enjoyed previously. They must assume that at some point Sessions will be gone and the investigative hounds will be unleashed upon them. Mueller has to temper his team’s illegal biases at the minimum. He might wrap his witch hunt up sooner rather than later.
Don’t get too excited, first we have to find an honest prosecutor......

Trying to wake up Sessions is as futile as trying to wake up the dead.
Sorry, but I am critical of this effort. Johnson lacks the killer instinct to win.
Here’s my response:
Mueller got the jump on the Comey ‘matter’. Comey is on the blacklist of the Clinton camp. They want him flogged for what he did days before the election. He did it because NYPD said they would go public if he didn’t. Comey is roadkill.
Sessions and DOJ IG are not coordinating. Horowitz is tasked with oversight of DOJ policy, actions by Sessions and all underlings. Sessions is not the best man for the job, far from it. POTUS said yesterday Christie would have been better. I agree. For all of Christie’s faults as Governor, his performance capacity as a prosecutor is optimal. So I could care less about Sessions. He would have done well to stay in the Senate and groom a replacement. Instead, there is one less GOP Senate Member. That is awful.
Just because someone is a Member of Congress does not confer an automatic aura of wisdom. The DC game is a tricky one.
Johnson may be a lemming or just grandstanding for constituents. We’ll see.
Congress Member Gosar is calling for charges of TREASON. That is what is needed, not more reports looking into the matter. There is enough evidence now for a special prosecutor to be appointed to pursue charges of TREASON.
Johnson just wants to follow the report writing process. Not good enough!

Go ahead and give Johnson credit for doing something. Just don’t expect him to command the victory and don’t expect him to be the answer, he’s not.
The pyre they lit is starting to put out tons of rancid smoke....
Really? Evidence was collected? Why did the FBI accept the DNC's refusal to have them look at their supposedly-Russian-hacked server? Where IS Hillary's server? Where IS the hardware from Hillary's/DNC's IT contractor? What about the evidence the FBI offered to destroy on behalf of Cheryl Mills and others? Whose fingerprints are on the hammer used to smash Hilary's Blackberries and other, multiple, devices?
I’m reading through texts now.... one interesting sidelight,they both LOATHE former AG Holder.... would be interesting to know the backstory there, was it over a specific issue such as Fast and Furious, did he step on their toes at some point or were they simply critical of how he ran DOJ, etc. Of course there is tons to be critical of Holder but I’d like to know specifically why Strzok and Page had such a loathing for him.
Take time to enjoy our Schadenfreude as the Deep State and rats panic. Enjoy your flight to reality with your pilot President Trump and his co pilot Vice President Pence. Savor each hour and each day as the Deep State implodes.
Don’t listen to the Never Trump Trolls saying, “ Nothing will happen!” That is what they are paid to post. They are panicking as that income may be going away!
Yes there is. What has been revealed already is an order of magnitude beyond Watergate. This sh¡t got real.
BTTT!
I do not see Mueller being a stupid person as he survived in DC for so long in such high positions. I do not see Mueller closing up shop without trying to save his skin and being very, very useful, especially since his skin also needs saving being part of some of the mess...but then again I have never seen anything like what has been going on in DC. The fact that all the committees are fighting the left with their memos tells me something is actually in the works to be done about the last administrations abuse of power. We are in the midst of an education of the American public to prepare them for what they already have planned.
I guess it all depends on how much of a leftist ideologue Mueller is. He could conceivably double down and politically die on the Trump obstruction hill. I would hope he sees the jeopardy he is in and opts for the potential scenario you lay out.
Damning. Reams of evidence that the fix was in to exonerate a clearly guilty Hillary, with pretty much everyone from Strzok and Page, to Comey and Lynch, on up to Obama himself in on it. Clearly politically motivated attempt to sit on Weiner’s emails for the crucial last month of the election, then supposedly finding “nothing to see here”, with McCabe’s greatly belated “recusal” on November 2 coming in the middle of it. Wray and Sessions also brought into the firing line for failing to find the “missing” text messages for nearly half of a year, when the OIG got them in less than a week.
I know a lot of people don’t want to point the finger at Sessions, and maybe there’s still time for him to redeem himself, but it seems plainly obvious at this point that the secret, illicit, and seditious attempted coup and cover-up of the same at the DOJ continued unabated into Trump’s term right up until the present. It’s way past time for Sessions to step up and clean house or get out of the way so someone else can.
