The FBI is promising swift action on a House subpoena covering three politically charged investigations after word that Attorney General Jeff Sessions has grown angry with the bureau's slow-walking of congressional requests for information.

Last week the House Judiciary Committee sent a subpoena to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein demanding documents from the Justice Department and the FBI "regarding charging decisions in the investigation surrounding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email server, potential abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility recommendation to fire former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe," according to a committee press release.

In a letter accompanying the subpoena, Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., told Rosenstein the committee had asked for the documents months ago and received little or nothing in response. "Given the department's ongoing delays in producing these documents, I am left with no choice but to issue [a] subpoena to compel production of these documents," Goodlatte wrote.

The stonewalling has been going on for months, Sessions is slow to "anger".

And the stonewalling apparently will continue.

It seems that if the new workers produce there will be grounds for dismissal of the previous group.

God, he is so far ahead of everyone else. It’s like the speed of a rattlesnake strike...or a lightning bolt.
Nobody else even knew there was a problem yet, and he’s already launched into action!!!

Maybe he should ask someone else to investigate than the suspects themselves.

Angry?

Did Session’s send the FBI a pretensious kitten? [chortle]

And when called to the carpet, were the FBI tickled to insanity with an embroidered feather duster?

Oh Jeff, you scoundrel.

Jeff hates it when somebody awakens him from his snoozing.

Sessions just recused himself from being angry. They are back to slow walking requests.

Harshly worded letters to be leaked to his family to secure his legacy as a man who looked like he cared.

Don’t you wonder if Sessions is having trouble finding trustworthy people at the DOJ to carry out his orders?

Hillary has owned them all since: Filegate, arose in June 1996 around improper access in 1993 and 1994 to FBI security-clearance documents. Craig Livingstone... improperly requested, and received from the FBI, background reports concerning several hundred individuals without asking permission...many of the files covered White House employees from previous Republican administrations, including top presidential advisors.

The good news is that the deep state has been caught red-handed and many identified. The bad news is that they will draw it out until those interested in prosecutions will be out of power.

“Sessions ‘angry’ at slow response”

You know, when Sessions is angered by your slow response, you really gotta look hard in the mirror.

Now let me get this straight. Sessions is the attorney general. If he orders a request of his staff, his department, which he controls, it has to be done, right? So why can nothing be expedited? Why the stalling? Just a simple question.
