DOJ gives House Intel original document that prompted Russia investigation
The Hill ^ | 4/11/2018 | ATIE BO WILLIAMS AND OLIVIA BEAVERS

Posted on 04/11/2018 4:12:47 PM PDT by grayboots

The Justice Department has provided House lawmakers with access to a two-page document that the FBI used to initiate its original counterintelligence probe into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia.

All members of the House Intelligence Committee received access to the document, a Justice Department confirmed to The Hill on Wednesday.

Committee chair Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) had requested access to the unredacted document, complaining that previous "heavily" redacted versions were not adequate to the committee's own investigation.

Nunes said Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein allowed him and House Oversight Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) to view the key document related to the FBI’s Russia probe one day after he threatened to hold FBI Director Chris Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in contempt and initiate impeachment proceedings against them if they did not comply with the request for the unredacted document.

Should have left Gowdy home. He is not to be trusted.

Within the article, it states that the only redactions are the name of a foreign government and a foreign national that are redacted in order to not harm US relations with the unnamed country. Even Ray Charles can see through the redacted names and see Great Britain, and Christopher Steel.

So not was our government “colluding” with Russian intelligence via Steele to interfere in the election, this confirms Britain’s role in the swamp operation.

Very similar fake but accurate investigation, don’t you think?

In the lame plame deal there was also no underlying crime. She had no law protecting her from having her name put in the newspaper. The CIA gave Robert Novak all her information OVER THE PHONE before he wrote the story. A complete farce.

I’d just like to know how ‘we’ can know it is not a completely fake document, even if it says what many want it to say , and what they expected it to say?

That was my thought too. It would be prudent to suspect that the document is not completely genuine. And the redactions that DOJ insisted still be made after all this brinksmanship remind me of Susan Rice's memo to the file. An obvious sign of deception.

That being said, how does RR know the good guys don't already have the original?

Seeing how corrupt ‘our’ DOJ is, it’s a high probability that it is a fake.

I think the "deep state" is more entrenched than what we suspect.

The FBI and DOJ, have been "education-ized", meaning that, just like democrats did with the education system, they've been just as busy turning the FBI and DOJ into democrat-controlled departments. The school systems are run and controlled by somewhere between 80-90 liberals, including teachers and staff and union chiefs, and the government staff that oversee the whole thing. Likewise, the FBI and DOJ have been "taken over" and liberals are deeply entrenched to the point that, it's going to take more than just "draining the swamp" to clear out the heavy bias against the GOP and Trump. And, liberals are chomping at the bit to take over congress in the upcoming elections, which means that, they'd have a few more years to secure their control of the FBI and DOJ and other agencies. No matter what republicans do to stop the liberals, there is no doubt that they continue making progress towards their wet dreams of turning the U.S. into the Utopia of socialism.

They already requested it from the Judge who said to get it from DOJ. Now they can ask the Judge if it contains the same info.
