On January 4, Grassley and Sen. Lindsey Graham, chairman of the crime and terrorism subcommittee, sent a criminal referral to the FBI and Justice Department concerning Christopher Steele, the former British spy who authored the Trump dossier. In a cover letter, Grassley and Graham suggested that Steele might have lied to the FBI during his association with the bureau as he compiled the dossier.
That's all the cover letter said. The referral itself, which was classified, made the actual case about Steele. Grassley wrote an unclassified version of the referral for public release finally, the public could understand what the case was about but first sent it to the FBI to make sure the information in the unclassified version was in fact unclassified.
That's when Grassley got the runaround. The FBI "falsely claimed" Grassley's words that a portion of the document was classified and thus held up release. The information was not classified, Grassley said it was based on "non-government sources" and "the deputy attorney general has discussed the fact at issue with me more than once in an unsecure space and on an unsecure phone line."
"Unfortunately, I suspect something else is really going on here," Grassley said. "It sure looks like a bureaucratic game of hide the ball, rather than a genuine concern about national security."
Grassley's and Graham's referral remains in FBI limbo and the public remains in the dark about what is reveals.
Perhaps.
I prefer to believe that the timing of the coming cataclysm is being maintained for later this election year.
Meanwhile, the anticipation for action by some grows to a fever pitch and the fact that there is a problem reaches daylight by even the most feeble minded left wing hack.
The object is not to fight a series of skirmishes. The object is to prepare the battlefield and all the troops and weapons for an assault that kills on a massive scale
It would be the very height of ironic amusement to bring a RICO suit against the FBI ... but if it walks, talks and quacks ==> it is a DUCK!
I guarantee WaPo, NYT, LAT, SFC AND ABCNNBCBS ALL HAVE A COPY OF THE ‘MEMO’ IN QUESTION, SO THEY CAN CONCOCT A COUNTER MEME............................
No not treason....
It’s a plain case of sedition.
Linda is delaying this so McCain is not implicated.
They need to get McCain’s people on-board with the next AZ Senator and they will delay this as long as they can to make it happen.
Nobody can verify simple like that, at this time.
JUST DISBAND IT
At this late date how can anyone not realize whats going on with Sessions? The man is complicit for whatever reason. He is either a swamp operative or is being blackmailed. No one is as stupid as he allow himself to appear.
I hope Barry goes broke defending himself.
