PS: Wasn’t it Rosenstein or Wray who explained away the affair, as reason to redact from the Relevant parts of internal probing, back when Wray did Not want Congress to embarrass the agents, during their Republican House majority oversight hearings?
Some of the digging of that period when R’s were being stonewalled will doubtless resurface in the US Senate deliberations, under one Lindsey Graham.
I do not remember the details. One thing I am sure of, though, is that the DoJ didn’t give materials demanded by Congress because of ongoing investigations, and the DoJ did not want the Demsheviks knowing anything. The Rs are not the only ones who would have had access to DoJ materials.
