Of course, Trump, Sessions or the new FBI director, could simply order this material turned over. It is fair to ask why they have not.

[wildbill]

Nothing left to do by Congress except to declare them in contempt of Congress and send out the Congressional cops to pick them up.

I don’t believe this is happening. It makes us look like a powerless legislature trying to enforce its will on the police state of a Third World country.

[MNDude]

That’s what I was thinking. Not the Fbi, a person at the FBI, who?

[NTHockey]

Sergeant-At-Arms, you are hereby ordered to arrest person or persons that have refused to comply.

Then frog march the whole bunch to Gitmo.

[Chewbarkah]

Grassley, Nunes, and even Feinstein, need to arrange a private meeting with Rosenstein and the FBI Director to discuss the finer points of the next DoJ/FBI budgets, such as why they should receive any funding.

"Elections mean nothing"

Even if Trump can't or will not do anything. It's far better then full access that they could've had.

It means something... not much

FBI ,,,, still corrupt ,, Sessions asleep at the wheel .

Yes, it is truly amazing that Sessions allows this to go on and on. The President fires Comey, a Republican Congress and Committee Head subpoenas documents from the DOJ/FBI, the FBI thumbs its nose up at the Committee and Sessions sits there like a bump on a log. The only thing Sessions wants to talk about is immigration and gangs. What does the Deep, Dark State have on Jeff Sessions?

Everyone bows to Soros, methinks...

[olezip]

And for a third time, the bureau has not produced the material.

Could it be that the material originated in the FBI itself, that is, the "Deep 6" part of the FBI?

The depth of corruption by the previous administration is scary.

[nvskibum]

Could this be part of a plan to get rid of certain DOJ and FBI officials (such as Mueller) in a politically acceptable way? If the officials with the information are found to be in contempt of Congress it would be hard to for Congress to complain if they are fired because they are in contempt of Congress.

You know, “3-D chess”.

[elpadre]

Congress needs to remind DOJ/FBI who controls their purse strings.

[Parley Baer]

“Of course, Trump, Sessions or the new FBI director, could simply order this material turned over. It is fair to ask why they have not.”

This ^^^^^^ good question.

[TChris]

Leftists give Trump the finger, repeatedly, because there are NO CONSEQUENCES for doing so.

Because nothing real is ever DONE to the snakes, they just continue to be snakes.

Why do we act surprised when all of this drama is obviously fictitious theater?

NOBODY PAYS, FOLKS.

EVER.

Ive had a few exchanges with a freeper on here as he was defending Sessions quite aggressively, and now I have seen his post for a while. I sent him a personal message and he returned one saying he still supports Sessions. It must be great to have such a loyal follower, although facts suggest Sessions isnt doing his job, but in fact is running interferance.

[ncalburt]

Trump has a new FBI director .
Where is he.?

Sessions is too busy hiding under the desk to response .

[PraiseTheLord]

You sound S o S I L L Y :((

[Deb]

Obama holdovers dont care. Eric Holder was held in Contempt of Congress and laughed.

[DrDude]

The Sessions backers have grown silent in the past few days.

[Lionheartusa1]

,,,,, I’m beginning to think Sessions is a democrat .
