DOJ refusing to give Grassley access to agent who interviewed Flynn
Fox News ^ | 11 June 2018 | Alex Pappas

Posted on 06/11/2018 12:28:47 PM PDT by Magnatron

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley isn't backing down as the Justice Department rebuffs his repeated attempts to speak with the FBI agent whose interview with Michael Flynn was used to indict the ex-national security adviser in the Russia probe.

“This is no ordinary criminal case,” Grassley, R-Iowa, wrote in a June 6 letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. “Congress has a right to know the full story and to know it now.”

Grassley is pressing his request anew after the DOJ once again rejected his bid to speak with FBI Agent Joe Pientka and to obtain the FBI’s records of the interview.

Flynn pleaded guilty in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe to making false statements to the FBI in that interview. He also lost his job at the White House after he was said to have misled Vice President Pence about a discussion with then-Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

Rosenweasel is in London for one last ditch effort for his insurance. Executive Order will be signed upon Trumps return. Sometimes you have to provide more rope for a good hanging.

Jeff Sessions has been AG for 1 year, 4 months, 2 days.

Did he find his office yet or even the building his office is in ?

Not enough. You need the Senate to convict.

Then you need a two thirds vote of the Senators present.

Not going to happen.

The Democrats have more than enough votes to block it.

It’s an economical decision. Lose everything you have worked for to this point in time, or plead to a bogus crime to stop the financial bleeding. A prime example is Ted Stevens of Alaska.

I understand that the current IG report has a lot of redactions. There is going to be outrage that the dems and RINOS will not be able to do anything about. POTUS comes in and declassifies the report and dominos start falling. Where is Julian Assange tonight?

Federalism is dead

We work for the WASHINGTONIANS, they don’t work for us.

They are 100% UNACCOUNTABLE and violate the law with impunity, stealing 4 trillion dollars from taxpayers every year in the process.

The election of Trump is the final proof that we are all slaves, and only use of the military can achieve real change.

Time is running out.

That's sure what it looks like.

If I was DJT I'd tell Sessions to change the locks on the doors at the DOJ and put an add in the paper for new help top to bottom.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Can Trump order a raid?

The president does not need to order a raid; all he has to do is pick up the phone or a pen and order the release of anything he wants to be released. Since the president has not chosen to act thus far, it is clear that he does not want everything released yet. All the stonewalling and slow walking has been done at the president's behest.

It’s time to take out the trash.

Trump needs to drop a MOAB on Congress and form a provisional military government.

This is the last opportunity free people in the non communist States have to prevent their enslavement .

Something that surprised me but It is my understanding that Session’s actually answers to Rosenstein.
