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.

Grassley and Graham... an odd couple.
This should have been done months ago!
Yes but they are doing the right thing here. This will make the deep state squirm.
on the heels of Skippy Podesta’s testimony. Wonder if there is correlation?
Agree completely.
Grassley is serious, Graham grandstanding, IMHO, but I’ll take it.
Agree about Graham. It’s like walking in on a lazy employee who scrambles to look like he’s working.
no leaks on Podesta testimony....I wonder how come ?
The republicans are starting to smell blood in the water, and they know it isn't the president's. Time to stop waiting for the impeachment that will never come and start doing their jobs.
I know. I’ve been waiting. It is early though.
I wonder what no leaks means...
Sorry. Everything has been sent to the soetoro library.
Linda going against her boyfriend McStain?
The is interesting, no leaks. Since this was behind closed doors I wouldn’t put it past them to not even question Podesta and have a huge catered lunch on taxpayers dime.
Or they are trying to figure out what lies to release to us?
I find it fascinating how quickly the best of “friends” will start turning on each other once the truth starts leaking...I think there are a LOT of people in DC who will start talking once they hear that sucking sound of Trump draining the swamp!!
McCain is the big anti-Trump leaker.
Grassley News releases are usually much more informative than the "news" reports that purport to cover the action.
The full text of the letter from Grassley and Graham to Rosenstein (Deputy AG, boss of FBI Director) and McCabe (Acting FBI Director) is provided.
Good question. Podesta is allowed to report what he said, as long as he does not disclose classified information.
Ya want a nail in the Clinton coffin........charge her with perjury on her Benghazi testimony that Gowdy nailed Comey on.
