Lawmakers say FBI may have been warned of Steele’s ‘political motivations’
Fox ^ | 10-05-19 | Catherine Herridge, Adam Shaw

Top Republican lawmakers demanded answers Friday on whether the FBI was warned of anti-Trump dossier author Christopher Steele’s "political motivations" before the bureau applied for a surveillance warrant against a Trump campaign aide based in part on that document. In a pair of letters to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa., cited newly revealed notes that a State Department official took during a meeting with Steele in October 2016, just 10 days before the first warrant application and a month before the presidential election. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has also written separate letters to Pompeo and Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz.

Some people who needed to get punched in the face as kids, didn’t get.

That’s all this is.

Pretty soon, one of the Fraud’s FISA judges will say, “Yeah, we didn’t believe the Steele report at all; we just don’t trust Trump.”

This is retarded. Our glorious GOP riding to the rescue again. Of course the FBI knew, hell, they halfway paid for it. Ignorant fools in Congress

Who cares if they were warned. It was their duty to verify the info before using it. Hang them.

Never learned up.

These well healed immature animals thrash around holding levers of power.

A quality nit quilt of corruption and dirty money.

...and we’re not supposed to notice.

There is a Creed.

A Constitution.

Which unifies the rich and poor.

The poor can be rich in this country, if they try.

But Obama said no longer. I’m the gay muslim communist cokehead that will put the final nail in the coffin.

I’m the cunt that will put an end to this American Dream thingy.

Not that there is anything wrong with being gay but for God’s sakes.

I love Trump.

I love America.

I love every freak that makes up America as long as they love America.

That’s me.

Exactly. They lied when they stated on the FISA warrants that the information was verified.

Has any Chuck Grassley letter ever been answered by one of these Swamp Rats?

SoS Mike Pompeo and his subordinate, CIA Direcrtor Gina Haspel were appointed by and work for POTUS. AG William Barr and his subordinate, FBI Director Chris Wray were appointed by and work for POTUS. SecDef Patrick Shanahan and his subordinate, NSA Director Paul Nakasone were appointed by and work for POTUS. So, just why do we need a Senator or Congressional Representative to request this information? Is Trump in control of the Executive Branch or not? If Trump had the ability to crush his enemies, he would do it, but he would need the CIA/FBI/NSA to follow his orders instead of fighting his requests, slow walking every congressional demand, and hiding behind national security “secrets”. If they will not obey their boss, the President, why would they listen to Grassley or anyone else?
