Fmr. DOJ Official: DOJ, FBI Illegally Withholding Investigation Info; ‘What Are They Trying to Hide?

Former Justice Department (DOJ) official Hans Von Spakovsky says it’s illegal and unconstitutional for the DOJ and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to refuse to provide President Donald Trump and Congress with details of their Trump-Russia investigation’s use of a spy in Trump’s presidential campaign.

As the nation’s top law enforcement officer, Trump – and anyone working for him - have the indisputable right to anything they want to know about the Russia-Collusion investigation, Spakovsky explained in a Fox News interview Friday morning:

“The president is the chief law enforcement officer of the United States. He has the full constitutional authority to be completely briefed on all aspects of this investigation, and that would include anyone working for him.”

Trump has the legal right to declassify and release the information, and Congress has every right to see it, so the FBI-DOJ effort to withhold the information is not only illegal – but, also suspicious – Spakovsky said:

“He (Trump) has the ability to declassify any information. And, here’s the thing everyone should remember: Congress has one hundred percent right to see all of this information because of its constitutional oversight authority.

“And, that’s why, DOJ and FBI’s constant delays and attempts to not give them information is just legally and constitutionally wrong.”

“And, it makes you wonder: what are they trying to hide?”

The spying began long before the fake Dossier was manufactured. The following assertion is incorrect, perhaps on purpose: REX”Obama’s authorization was based on MANUFACTURED EVIDENCE (the Fusion GPS Dossier, secretly funded by the Clinton, DNC & Obama).” The obamaroid could not base surveillance on something that did not exist when he authorized the spying.

” “And, it makes you wonder: what are they trying to hide?”

One way to find out - declare the FBI in insurrection and send in the Airborne and Marines. That nest of traitors and gestapo killers in the FBI needs to be cleaned out.

The spying began long before the fake Dossier was manufactured.

That was my impression as well. The first dossier filing was date 20 June 2016 and turned in to Fusion GPS. There are sources that say Steele met with one or more FBI agent in Rome in early July. I'm not sure how believable they are.

The spying on Trump's campaign (mainly to promote the Russia meddling meme) officially began at the end of July, but they were doing some of the setup work earlier, see https://www.steynonline.com/8667/tinker-tailor-clapper-carter-downer-halper-spy maybe as early as March 2016.

It's possible that CWB is essentially correct, that the dossier was the official paperwork for opening up operation Crossfire Hurricane. I may need to retract my previous post to CWB on this thread.

Mifsud ran a honey trap on Pop in March 2016. Victoria Toensing detailed it on Hannity this week.
