Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray met with House Speaker Paul Ryan this week to request that Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee narrow the scope of a document request, according to a Politico report.

The committee had issued a request for documents and witness interviews related to the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. In the meeting with Rosenstein and Wray, Politico reported, Ryan suggested that the department release the full trove of requested documents.

The two sides eventually reached a deal, and Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, announced that the Justice Department had agreed to "provide the committee with access to all the documents and witnesses" it had requested.

The meeting, which came at the request of Rosenstein and Wray, came as some congressional Republicans step up their criticism about the Justice Department's handling of the Russia probe, which, in particular, is looking at possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow.

AshLee Strong, a spokeswoman for Ryan, told Politico that the speaker "always expects the administration to comply with the House’s oversight requests, and he will support his chairmen when they make them."

Some Republican lawmakers have raised questions about partisanship in the Russia probe and whether investigators are unfairly targeting President Trump. Democrats, on the other hand, have accused Republicans of trying to protect the White House from a probe into potential wrongdoing.

I think they are negotiating who will go to prison, so they want to narrow the investigation to that single person. I’m still betting the only person who will see prison time is the Pakistani server administrator who worked for the DNC. And even then, I think he will suffer from Arkancide before the trial even ends.

Wray has been given the opportunity to rehabilitate the FBI. Instead he dives into the deep end of the swamp.

If these two cannot see Hitlery in prison, they need to lose their jobs.

Sheee-ut. The Democrats have that guy practically on a plane to Pakistan, if he gets past Jack Ruby.

The media just wants to continue fooling the people. Mueller is disrupting the Trump Agenda, which was approved during an election. This is politics running wild, upsetting the apple cart.

Mueller will eventually uncover what we already know; the collusion between Russia and the Democrats. At that point, it will all disappear.

And yet again, Crazy Uncle Jeff (Sessions) is AWOL and not a factor. What the hell does Sessions do for a living anyway?

Ryan told them he’d bring Contempt citations to the Floor I’m guessing. They folded

My trust meter on Ryan still does not go very high. Nunes needs to clarify if his committee thinks the subpoena was answered. Otherwise hold Rod Rosenstein in contempt.

IDK, it seems that the documents will remain in the DOJ and the Committee only gets to view them there. Doesn’t appear that they actually get them. Makes you wonder how much is gonna be buried in a pile of 12 million pages of B.S.

The committee will get copies of the texts between paige and the other idiot.

You can’t know which evidence to destroy until you have it all. The true Mueller investigation and goals.

They are trying to hide the truth.

That BOTH parties colluded to violate the Constitution.

The Kenyan from Indonesia is not a natural born citizen and should never have been President.

Ryan made a deal to hide his culpability.

What could Rosestone possibly be hiding?

Ryan got tough with them? I doubt it seriously. It’s probably more like they told little Paulie how it’s going to be.
