I thought the FBI Director was supposed to report to the Attorney General.

The Attorney General should order him to produce the documents legally requested by Congress as part of their oversight responsibility.

What part of “co-equal branches of government” is unclear to him?

When Obama promised to “fundamentally transform” America, that was the one promise he delivered on. I miss the rule of law.

If Trump won’t fire Wray for refusing to be held accountable to Congress then Congress needs to impeach Wray and remove him.

And of course PDJT can't just pick up the phone and order Wray to turn over the documents, because the DOJ is an "independent agency," and reports to no one.

Unless the President happens to be a Democrat, in which case the DOJ functions as his/her personal fixer, law firm, and death squad.

And the Attorney General reports directly to the President.

PDJT can order the docs turned over.

I’m sure that Congress can change his mind. They hold the purse strings and oversight.

These Bureaucratic clowns are saying they are above the U.S. Constitution.

Time to start firing and arresting them all. I am sick of this crap.

They are protecting Traitors to the Republic. Time for President Trump to drop the hammer.

I could swear some guy named Donald Trump, could make the FBI share the documents, but he never seems to help Congress do just that.

I find this almost satisfying. I think it was Gowdy last week who announced, in bold terms, that documents had to be produced on Monday (yesterday). No Ifs. No Ands. No Buts. If it didn’t happen (and it didn’t) then on Wednesday (tomorrow) people who see drastic consequences. Really drastic. No more kidding around.

Which means we are likely to see a stern letter.

But it also means that Congress should never be taken seriously. Rule of law? It’s all about who you are and what you can get away with. Laws are for suckers.

Hillary and the Deep State are safe with Sessions and Wray running interference for them.

Congress needs to grow a pair, put the deep-state and FBI in its place, and above all, protect the rule of law

Start by cutting the FBI budget by 50%

Can’t PDJT order the release (Wray works under him), and declassify any that are being used as an excuse?
