An FBI official says the bureau is not working to collect messages between anti-Trump FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, despite the request to do so from a top Republican senator as well as evidence suggesting they communicated about “work-related” matters on non-FBI accounts.
In a letter this week to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, Charles Thorley, the acting assistant director of the FBI’s office of congressional affairs, said FBI employees are “required to adhere to record keeping policies in place where communications constitute records under the Federal Records Act.”
But Thorley said “the FBI is not otherwise obligated to collect and/or retain all communications between its employees.”

FBI believes they’re above the law.
Same for IRS, CIA, etc. They’re all a bunch of swamprats.
So they have Cohen the Lawyer bend over and cough.
Same for many more, but here????
Enough is enough.
It is time for congress to tame both the FBI and the DOJ.
It needs to be done in such a way that no one ever forgets the results of denying congress information permitted under the Constitution.
I suggest starting by firing or impeaching everyone in the top four levels of management and filling those positions from within.
If that does not work, as they say wash, rinse and repeat until a staff is installed that recognizes that the government must be operated as described in the Constitution.
Maybe it’s just me being old school but since when do subordinates tell their bosses what they will or will not do? This Wray is a real damsel fly.
-Sessions and his unnamed DoJ Ethics Lieyahs
A Fey Wray, as it were.
The DOJ has oversight over the FBI. Could it be that Rosenstein has directed the FBI to refuse the House’s request??? He IS the one who calls the shots.
“Freedom of Information Act requests mean NOTHING anymore.
Even court subpoenas of records mean nothing.
Thanks Obama.
“
I think RosenWeasel’s wife is a big player in these matters.
Rod Rosenstein runs it.
† i.e. the Keebler Elf, Granny, Mr. Magoo.
Fine. Nunes can subpoena them and all of their electronic communications if Grassley doesn’t first.
Does Wray want to risk exposure of what the FBI refused to provide to Congress? We’ll see.
Just my guess here, but I think that’s because they already have sufficient damning evidence on their official accounts. No more is needed.
That’s like saying they won’t request my cell phone records after I robbed the bank because the bank cameras have clear video of me, my fingerprints are all over the place, and the ink dye packs in the loot exploded all over me as I walked out of the bank in into the waiting paddy wagon.
Well, they are mostly about yoga stretches, wedding planning, trips to Starbucks, etc.
It’s time for the President to federalize the NG and begin arresting the Deep State cabal.
Dear Congress: Fork you. The FBI
Actually there are still many facts which we do not know.
It is not even confirmed that the Strzok-Page “affair” was real. It has been reported that the “personal” messages were redacted. Why? In this day we can handle reading raunchy sexual messages. Its the only way to be sure the people know what the facts are. Also those messages would not be privileged redacted in any other legal proceeding.. like a divorce.
In all fairness to the FBI, they are sort of busy right now trying to round up President Trump’s toe nail clippings. What a joke this whole Russki bull**** has become. Bonzo’s “17 intelligence community agencies” are all a bunch of commie crooks.
It’s called a “subpoena.”

While Trump’s lawyers are fair game. We must quit accepting their double standards.
