Two top Republican senators are asking the Justice Department to turn over all applications by the FBI to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court regarding its investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 elections.
In a letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe sent Tuesday and made public Wednesday, Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., request "all proposed and final applications for surveillance warrants."
"We are writing to request information regarding [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act]-related actions by the FBI and the Justice Department in the course of the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, including the investigations into allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians," the senators wrote.
Grassley and Graham cite a report by The Guardian in January that the FBI applied for a FISA warrant to monitor four members of President Trump's then-campaign team "suspected of irregular contact ith Russian officials" that was then turned down by the court.

I wonder if Jeff Sessions has any say-so at all on what documents can be turned over, or what goes on at DOJ in general.

Let it be so.
I don’t see how Linda supports anything that would tend to cast her boyfriend in a bad light.
Whether they questioned him or not I’m sure they had the big lunch.
Grahamnesty can bite me ! ...
Sessions has no influence on turning over any FISA documents since they have a tie to the Russia investigation, and he recused himself from anything related to it.
Actually, his seems to have recused himself from everything other than tracking down marijuana dealers. Sessions is an obstruction as a result of his weakness.
