Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., is getting impatient with the FBI in his effort to root out misconduct in the early stages of the Trump-Russia investigation and went over Director Christopher Wray's head to try and move things along.
In the balance, the GOP investigator said in a letter to top Justice Department officials last week, is the American public's ability to fully understand DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz's upcoming report on alleged surveillance abuses.
In the letter addressed to Attorney General William Barr and Horowitz, Meadows pushed for the unredacted release of five pages related to British ex-spy Christopher Steele, who compiled an unverified dossier on President Trump's ties to Russia that was used by the bureau to obtain the authority to spy on a member of his campaign, Carter Page.
Meadows cited a Freedom of Information Act legal battle over the disclosure of documents from Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec that followed her meeting with Steele on Oct. 11, 2016, 10 days before the first Page warrant application was submitted. Notes taken from that meeting by Kavalec, obtained and released by conservative group Citizens United through open-records litigation, cast doubt on Steele's reliability. Kavalec wrote that during that meeting Steele admitted he was encouraged by his client, which was the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, to get his research out before the November 2016 election, signaling a possible political motivation. Kavalec's notes also show she believed some of Steele's allegations were false.

Trump can order any information from the FBI. If he does not get it the next day he can fire the director.
Why does he sit on his hands and do nothing but tweet?
Nonsense. Trump is not king. He can’t do that and hope to win in 2020 without the support of his own party on his flanks. Clearly, he does not have it. In fact, the GOP is continuing to assist the Mueller Coup and would be happy to undermine POTUS in any battle he has with the FBI.

This crap could’ve been avoided if Trump had axed Wray when the other traitors were given their walking papers. It’s Trump’s fault.

The FBI is not a kingdom of itself. Trump can fire people there and call out any republican who is supporting the crooks.

Answers please, BiggBob .
I used to believe the majority of agents of the FBI were honest upstanding folks...I’m questioning this in my heart these days.
Too many really bad acts against American citizens over the last few decades. I’ve lost confidence.
Looks to me like agents routinely close ranks and cover up bad behavior. This is the optics of what I see.
