Grassley Tells Rosenstein to 'Provide Unredacted Copies' of All Strzok-Page Texts

Redactions, the blacked-out portions that appear in many government documents, are making it difficult for Congress to do its oversight work, says Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).

In a letter [1] to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Wednesday, Grassley wrote: "Please provide unredacted copies of all text messages" between FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page "to the Committee no later than June 6, 2018."

Grassley said some of the redactions "may contain relevant information relating to the Committee's ongoing investigation into the manner in which the Department of Justice and FBI handled the Clinton and Russia investigations."

Grassley mentions two particular redactions in the thousands of Strzok-Page text messages that call into question the FBI's "justification" for witholding information from Congress:

"As one example of redacted material, in a text message produced to the Committee, the price of Andrew McCabe’s $70,000 conference table was redacted," Grassley wrote. "In another, an official’s name was redacted in reference to a text about the Obama White House “running” an investigation, although it is unclear to which investigation they were referring."

"Should the Department continue to refuse to provide fully unredacted copies to Congress, please provide a privilege log describing the legal basis for withholding that information from Congress," Grassley wrote.

The senator's complete letter is printed below.

I bet one of the texts says, “ We should leak that we are lovers to explain all these texts between us.”

Did anyone vote Rosenstein into office? Because he thinks he was elected king.
