The FBI will not be giving House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) the information he requested regarding the former FBI director James Comey, citing the special counsel appointment of Robert Mueller as a reason.
"In light of this development and other considerations, we are undertaking appropriate consultation to ensure all relevant interests implicated by your request are properly evaluated. We will updated this response as soon as possible," the letter states.

More and more like the old USSR EVERY day..!
Maybe Jason Chaffetz should spend more of his time trying to figure out who killed Seth Rich.
How come the Republicans did not speak up about this?
McVeigh parked his truck in front of the wrong building.
Mueller will protect Comey.
Chaffetz’s letter
Evidently the FBI and some other agency’s don’t answer to anyone.
This won’t sit well with SOME congresscritters. Others, on the other hand . . . .
Mueller’s mandate [] includes investigating “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump” as well as any matters that arise from the investigation or other related matters such as perjury, destruction of evidence, or obstruction of justice.
The Committee’s authority is not similarly constrained. Congress does not conduct criminal or counterintelligence investigations; rather Congress’s power of inquiry is rooted in part in its duty to oversee the Executive Branch’s faithful enforcement of the laws that Congress enacted.
In this case, the focus of the Committee’s investigation is the independence of the FBI, including conversations between the President and Corney and the process by which Corney was removed from his role as director. The records being withheld are central to those questions, even more so in light of Corney’s decision not to testify before the Committee at this time.
quoting Chaffetzs letter
From the article
Chaffetz has responded to the FBI with another letter, now specifically asking for all information related to Comey and any White House employee, including the president and vice president, and the attorney general since September 4, 2013, to be provided by June 8.
You grab the FBI leader in charge with the U.S. Capitol police & lock his azz up until you get what you want....this congress, of course will do no such thing.
Or pushing the request to charge Hillary with perjury.
The obvious answer: they’re in on it.
Remember the Moscow Met? They fentanyled the place?
Can special counsel Robert Mueller with hold evidence and documents from President Trump’s lawyer?
Absolutely correct.
Foreign sources have their dangers too, but at least they hear more than one position.
The US MSM is pure paid propaganda.
