Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley is suggesting Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson uttered an “outright lie” when he testified to panel staffers.

Mr. Grassley, Iowa Republican, made the charge in a letter to a Democratic senator who wanted Donald Trump Jr. recalled as a witness.

Fusion is one of the key players in the FBI’s nearly two-year Russia investigation. It was Mr. Simpson, a private investigator, who tapped Democratic Party money to hire ex-British spy Christopher Steele, who produced the discredited anti-Trump dossier.

In August 2017, Mr. Simpson testified in private to committee staff. Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, ranking Democrat, later unilaterally released the transcript.

If he was chosen to take the fall, he might tell what he knows about coordination by John Brennan, et al. They can’t have that...

Someone needs to dig into Trey Gowdy, I mean a really deep dive.

I’ll wager that fop has a skeleton or two in his closet.

It’s a big conspiracy. A lot of loose ends.

Mr. Simpson “was asked directly if he continued to conduct anti-Trump opposition research after the Nov. 8 election. He answered, “I had no client after the election.”

The article sees to be saying that the above is what Grassley presents as Simpson’s lie. Perhaps there is something more, because it is clearly an evasion, but not (necessarily) a lie, unless Simpson did have a client. The genius questioning Simpson should have said, “Thanks for telling us that. Now answer my question yes or no.”

“So, is Grassley going to make a criminal referral to Sessions?”

Why? He wouldn’t do shit.
