FBI, Mueller received Trump transition records from GSA in secret: Senate report
Fox News ^ | 10/24/2020 | Brie Stimson

Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller and the FBI gained access to Trump transition team records during their Russia investigation through the General Services Administration, according to a report from Senate Republicans.

The FBI and Mueller secretly pursued the documents despite an agreement between then-President-elect Trump’s team that the transition records were private property and would not be retained after the transition ended, said a 26-page report released Friday by Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, chairmen of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and Senate Finance Committee, the Washington Examiner reported.

The report, titled, “Don’t Brief the Trump Team: How the GSA and the FBI Secretly Shared Trump Transition Team Records,” said the “presumption of good faith” in the transition “was called into question in 2016. This majority staff report tells an important, yet overlooked, story about how the" FBI and special counsel “secretly sought and received access to the private records of Donald J. Trump’s presidential transition team, Trump for America, Inc.”

It noted that Obama appointee Denise Turner Roth was administrator of the GSA until Timothy Horne was appointed as acting administrator on Inauguration Day in 2017.

It has taken 4 years to pry out all this treachery that has been exposed. There is still more that is known but not officially exposed.

Lets not focus on this today, but after the election this must be fixed to prevent future such abuse.

It is NOW!!! TIME to vote out ALL of the Coup Plotters. It is time to END this Insanity.

It is TIME to Restore Freedom in the USA.

IANAL but this would seem to be a criminal act. Of course nothing is a crime in the swamp when you oppose POTUS.

How come? Because they know it is and it reflects very poorly on the ComDem Plotters.

Want to make sure that it never happens again? 4AM raid by SS or marshals followed by serious jail time on Devil’s Island.

Yes. They are beyond accountability. For now.

President Trump signed an executive order this week that changes government job classification related to protected status of those who actually make policy.

When we get through this election, and President Trump is re-elected, it MUST be dealt with.

If we lose, it will never be stopped.

Wray was not the director at the time. Barr was not AG and not even connected then.

Comey and his crew were. So much for the independence and honesty of the FBI.

Well, it was new to me. I knew the Coup plot began under Obama, before the election in 2016. But I did not know the GSA did this.

The article was published 3 hours ago.

I'm going to put some lipstick on this pig. Mueller did not find anything in the transition records. Trump has been investigated every which way for the past 4 years and absolutely nothing has come out.

Mueller still needs to rot in jail for the rest of his life.

I live in the swamp. It's my number one issue.

The problems that we have can't be fixed because arguing about how to fix them is their golden goose. You know, like the J effin Kerry video on having to fix the Palestinian problem before you can have peace in the middle east.
