Sharyl is trustworthy, but I still prefer to have the raw material ...

FBI OKs Release of Unclassified Steele Referral | Chuck Grassley

Unclassified and heavily redacted Criminal Referral

Grassley is not happy with the FBI.

Dear Director Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein:
Pursuant to Section 3.5 of Executive Order 13526, I am writing to formally demand a Mandatory Declassification Review of the classified criminal referral Chairman Graham and I sent to the FBI and Justice Department regarding Christopher Steele's potential violations of 18 U.S.C. S: 1001.

And from Sharyl's article, this is funny (haha funny) to me:

That's why the documents released today still contain significant blacked out or redacted portions. The FBI's explanation for that is also partly redacted. FBI Assistant Director for Congressional Affairs Gregory Bower stated "the FBI cannot and will not weaken its commitment to protecting [redacted]. Public reporting about [redacted] does not affect the FBI's policy with respect to classification [redacted] nor does it diminish our obligations [redacted]."

Yeah, wow. FBI not only looks like it is hiding something, it IS hiding something.
