Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., on Tuesday released the full transcript from Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson's testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
"The innuendo and misinformation circulating about the transcript are part of a deeply troubling effort to undermine the investigation into potential collusion and obstruction of justice," Feinstein said in a statement. "The only way to set the record straight is to make the transcript public."
The release of the transcript, Feinstein said, was supported by committee Democrats. The move follows committee a decision by Republicans Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham to issue a criminal referral last week against Christopher Steele, the former British spy who authored the largely unverified "Trump dossier."

A few dems, that is.

299: Fusion GPS financial research on Trump turned up no evidence of connection to Russian government or oligarchs
LOL!!! We can't even get anyone in government to admit that it's not exactly kosher for a sitting president to use the FBI to spy on a political opposition campaign.
This whole thing is one giant cluster....

She is too big and powerful to be punished in the world we live in, my friend.
“No Trump” is their agenda, that’s easy enough to see.
Yep.
She was a CIA public sources analyst. Specializing in Russian media.
I don’t know who or what “Q” is.
Are the questions that he declined to answer included?
Yes.
