This was top of the news on ABC radio too. I understand CNN and WaPo are running this too. The DOJ says the allegation is 100% false.

Who did he request more funds and personnel from? Himself? Wasn’t he the top dog in the FBI?

Total utter BS. The Bureau has plenty of money— for anything. Fantasy Island for the marxist-maoist NYTimes. And thus... Fake News.

additional funding and personnel

The FBI has over 35,000 employees... just how many more were needed for the Russian probe"?

Didn't Congress just pass an interim budget "days ago"? Isn't it pretty routine for ALL agencies to ask for more money at budget time?

Let’s see if I got this straight. The compromised and politicised Clinton Foundation member masquerading as the head of the FBI wanted more money to manufacture dirt on a political enemy and protect his handlers, so therefore Trump is guilty of all sorts of stuff. I think I got it now.

Why would the Russian investigation require extra money/personal. Wouldn’t the FBI have enough to investigate this and a lot more with the resources it has now?

In deciphered political hack newspeak: We want more money to line our pockets so that we can continue your political witch hunt/wild goose chase.

The socialist-democrats and RINOs will milk this cash cow dry.

Wonder how much the FBI is kicking back to their paid informants in congress?

Yet Maxine Waters had to tell the Washington Compost that she has seen ZERO evidence of ANY Russia/Trump collusion..but there was collusion, not between Trump and Russia, but between the MEDIA and Hillary Clinton..they took off their journalist hat a long time ago and became advocates for the Clinton campaign
