House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes and other Republicans are considering writing a report next year alleging corruption at the FBI, The Washington Post has reported.
Such a report would focus on the conduct of FBI officials during the probe into Russia’s meddling in last year’s American presidential election, according to people familiar with the plans.
This comes as President Donald Trump and his supporters in Congress have intensified their attacks on the FBI, which is seen by many as a way to try and discredit special counsel Robert Mueller, the former leader of the bureau, and bring into doubt any findings he may come up with in the Russia election meddling investigation should they be damaging to the Trump administration.
Rep. Adam Schiff, who is the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, explained the GOP plan to CNN’s “State of the Union.”
The Republicans’ “intent here is not to do oversight,” Schiff said. “The intent here is nothing short of discrediting Mueller, then discrediting the Justice Department, then discrediting the FBI, then discrediting the judiciary, should the judiciary convict some of the people that Mueller has charged or may charge in the future," adding that the GOP criticisms are "an effort to tear at the very idea that there is an objective truth."

The time is now for a grandstand Gowdy letter of concern to somebody.
The entire universe would do better by dumping Schiff. What a complete embarrassment he is to himself at this point. He could easily be made into a laughing stock with his idiotic nonsense.
I had a relative at Christmas bring up FBI corruption and this fake Mueller investigation. This person is not a huge partisan, but took notice at how all this appears to be all bunk or corruption.
Hear what you want, believe what you may. Disinformation is all over the place and all of it did not start until the news of the OIG was presented.
Or, helping them set the stage by having a more independent look-see to validate future actions.....
The only stipulation should be they are not associated with current Washington D.C. politics. A previous state's Attorney General for example, who has a history of cleaning up dirty cops. There are plenty of people out there that they could find who would do an honest and fair job. And that's all we need, since they won't have too dig deep to find rampant corruption staring back at their face.
Au contraire. It matters very much who is named as special counsel or independent prosecutor. And the people whom they select to be part of his/her team. Naming a special prosecutor is predicated on the notion that someone outside the system and partisan politics is necessary in order to achieve a perceived fair result. The history of such appointments does not bode well.

Most, if not all, state AGs are elected and are members of a political party. Could you provide a name or names of potential candidates?
Fame should have nothing to do with it. Most special prosecutors were names that were relatively unknown until their appointment. Find a retired state's AG from a battleground state with a history of jailing cops.

Relatively unknown to whom? The General Public? The political class?
I want to see who, when and how these people got their jobs. I suspect most were jOkeass appointees.
