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 FBIs 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.

Simpson appears to have lied to Congress during his testimony.
So, is Grassley going to make a criminal referral to Sessions?
Someone, somewhere is writing a screenplay for something far better than “All the Presidents Men”.
Is he a small enough fry to take the fall?
That’s the testimony Feinstein released without approval or knowledge of the rest of the Committee? So she was complicit in facilitating the release of false info to the press and public.
So, is Grassley going to make a criminal referral to Sessions?
Youre kidding, right?
L
He didnt intend to lie so it is ok.
‘So, is Grassley going to make a criminal referral to Sessions?’
What good would that do? Deputy AG Sessions would simply hand it to AG Rosenstein. RR would make some snotty remark about not being pressured to do anything he doesn’t want to do, and into the circular file it would go.
Not that swamp monster Grassley cares. He just likes to talk and threaten Trump.
I was being sarcastic. I don’t expect anything from these weak
kneed sisters.
Sessions?? Isn’t that what youngins call a group of people sitting around smokin weed??
5D chess.
Everyone, except the main stream media, can see the problem.
That answer seems at odds with an FBI interview report, or 302, obtained by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
The 302 recounted an interview agents conducted with Daniel Jones, a former senior Feinstein staffer who founded his own investigative firm, Penn Quarter Group. Mr. Jones told the agents he had received $50 million from seven to 10 wealthy donors and that he had hired Fusion GPS and Mr. Steele to continue investigating President Trump.
If Mr. Jones interview is accurate, it would mean that Fusion did in fact have a post-election clientPenn Quarter Group. . .
Mr. Simpson was not under oath. But Mr. Grassleys staff explained to him that lying to Congress violates federal law. . .
This is the second hiccup in Mr. Simpsons testimony.
When Mrs. Feinstein released the transcript in January, it showed that Mr. Simpson testified that Mr. Steele was told by the FBI it had a source inside the Trump campaign. . .
He'd better hope so. The Clinton fallback position is a guided tour of the local park.
Nothing ever happens. They will regurgitate the same crap in a couple of weeks.
On this we agree. It’s just a shame to see dishonorable Sessions hanging onto a job he can’t do and crucially undermining Trump while he’s at it.
Their standards have gone down since Vince Foster.
They just left Seth Rich in the street.
Yes, Trey Gowdy will vouch for Simpson always having told the truth, that like George Washington he could not tell a lie, even in the 99.9998 percent of his life when Gowdy wasn’t present with him.
So what? I’d lie to ‘em also. Grassley and Congress deserves to get lied to. Nobody has ever served a day or had the slightest consequence for lying to Congress.
Like Calvera said in Magnificent Seven. “God made them sheep, so why shouldn’t they be sheared.”
“Daniel Jones, a former senior Feinstein staffer who founded his own investigative firm, Penn Quarter Group. Mr. Jones told the agents he had received $50 million from seven to 10 wealthy donors and that he had hired Fusion GPS and Mr. Steele to continue investigating President Trump”
Looks like DiFi and her staff are treasonous bastards. No surprise.
