A House Republican's line of questioning uncovered revelations that in May 2017 senior FBI leadership debated whether President Trump was directed by the Russian government to fire FBI Director James Comey, Fox News has learned.

Contacted by Fox, U.S. Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, confirmed his questions to former FBI General Counsel James A. Baker uncovered the claims, some of which were first reported Friday by the New York Times.

Ratcliffe called the Baker transcript leak "selective," adding that the full transcript of the Oct. 18 interview, which is undergoing a classification review by the FBI and the Justice Department, reveals "that in May 2017, political bias infected senior FBI leadership, and emotion -- not evidence -- drove their decision making."

A separate source said Baker told investigators the internal FBI debate over the president's decision to fire Comey on May 9, 2017, included personnel who have since left the bureau for cause, retired, or have been demoted.

uncovered revelations that in May 2017

There it is right in your face America. Almost 2 years later and nothing has been done about it nor has anything changed.

The swamp is not being drained. Still full of scum and politicians.

Maybe just a handful of orators and statesman.

BUT wait, the next election will fix it....../sarc

A lie repeated often enough .....

Every time I see that smirky little jerk (Strzok) I want to punch him right between his piggy little eyes!

Am I alone on this? (I doubt it, LOL!)

"...scum and politicians..."

[Political Junkie Too]

The fact that these revelations have to keep being "uncovered" says a lot.

LOL! Exactly, you couldn’t write this stuff. It’s like dealing with a bunch of delusional freaks. We have clear cut evidence that the Clinton cabal colluded with the Russians with the Steele dossier, and ZERO evidence Trump had anything to do with the Russians when it came to the election, and HE is the one who gets his ass investigated off?

[Vaquero]

If this horse$h!t causes Trump to be on even more of a precipice than the Swamp and the MSM already have him on. It would be time for him to cross the Rubicon

[SaveFerris]

I’m gonna have to grab that one

[anton]

FBI has lost all credibility. Time to disband it and reallocate their duties to other agencies.

[justa-hairyape]

No worries comrades. Put down the tomahawks. Trump has said he will have more flexibility after the election. So you can ask him then. BTW - Did you ever find out what Obama was referring too ? What ? Not even interested in the slightest ? Exactly who IS working for the Russians. That is the question.

[SaveFerris]

Political agenda setup by the Obama administration. Obama is still destroying America; and from within.

Be my guest! I stole it from elsewhere, LOL!

[SaveFerris]

Shoot, I stole this from Fiddlstix. He uses it to seize things! So what better thing to swipe! LOL

Gotta love Hillary’s pantsuit.

[neverevergiveup]

If all women were like Hillary, I would have long ago decided to live alone in the woods, or try to go to another planet.

[Fireone]

Not sure about the other planet thing, but I can assure you, living alone in the woods is all it’s cracked up to be, and MORE!
