Intel Committee Expands Investigation Into FBI, DOJ Handling of Russia Probe

Nunes demands extensive unredacted files, records of conversations

Washington Free Beacon, Adam Kredo, January 3 2018:

The House Intelligence Committee led by Rep. Devin Nunes (R., Calif.) is expanding its investigation into the FBI and Department of Justice’s handling of an ongoing probe into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, according to a letter sent Thursday by Nunes to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

Nunes, who spoke by phone with Rosenstein Wednesday evening, ordered the agencies to comply with subpoenas compelling it to produce fully unredacted records of conversations that could shed light on accusations the FBI pursued the investigation in a partisan and unfair manner, according to the letter, a copy of which was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

In addition to records and text messages, the House Intelligence Committee has requested interviews with several key FBI officials who have been accused of mishandling the investigation in order to fuel discord in the Trump administration.

The bulk of these documents and records must be handed over by Friday, according to the latest communication from Nunes.

The letter is the second in an escalating effort by the House Intelligence Committee to unearth information pertaining to allegations that the Russia probe was spearheaded by anti-Trump elements in the FBI and was mishandled at various junctures.

The committee also is seeking to determine how much the FBI relied upon and potentially helped disseminate an anti-Trump intelligence dossier produced by the research firm Fusion GPS. [Disclosure: The Washington Free Beacon was once a client of Fusion GPS. That relationship ended in January 2017. For more information, see here.]

“The materials we are requesting are vital to the Committee’s investigation of potential abuses into intelligence and law enforcement agencies’ handling of the Christopher Steele dossier,” Nunes writes in the letter. “The Committee is extremely concerned by indications that top U.S. Government officials who were investigating a presidential campaign relied on unverified information that was funded by the opposing political campaign and was based on Russian sources.”

Several key FBI officials will be forced to testify before the Intelligence Committee this month, including former DOJ Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr; FBI Supervisory Special Agent Peter Strzok; former FBI General Counsel James Baker; FBI Attorney Lisa Page; FBI Attorney Sally Moyer; FBI Assistant Director Greg Brower; FBI Assistant Director Bill Priestap; and FBI Special Agent James Rybicki.

Fusion GPS recently admitted that it hired the Bruce Ohr’s wife, Sally, to investigate Trump, a potential conflict of interest.

Again, these stories are mere space fillers. The high ranking democrats involved are above the law, they, and high ranking Republicans know it. There is “honour” among scoundrels, they all will take care of each other, no matter what evidence is shown.

Not only is this just a show for some Republicans to indicate what side they are on and nothing more, while they tread lightly for their own survival, how many members of the media will justify this unlawful and unethical activity, if they are forced to comment at all, while the leftist will support and even praise these swamp creatures for their properly biased actions. Even early retirements or dismissals will be rewarded by the left.

Beautiful compilation! Thank you for posting this; this tells it all. Trump knew there was a swamp but I don’t think any of us believed it was so deep and so vicious and so corrupt. I’ll be framing this and hanging it on my wall.

The criminality of the Obama and Clinton families and friends is going to be finally unveiled and no matter how much the MSM tries to hide and disguise it and belittle it as old and inconsequential, their criminality and treason will be unveiled and that revelation will lead to the destruction of the MSM.

Good Riddance.

Will the villains and the MSM be tried and punished for their crimes or is this merely more noise to keep the presses rolling???

To what extent will criminals investigate fellow criminals? I have hope, and it’s severely tempered by reality.

Marxist rat obama spent eight years staffing the federal government with anti-American democrat activists. Until each and every one hired by rat obama is fired, I hold no anticipation of any actual investigation, merely shuffling the papers.

The thanks goes to Islamic teachers at all levels of miseducation and infiltration as well as Obama’s welcoming open arms policy.

There are two take-aways from this entire mess:
1. The same prejudicial anti-Trump FBI agents who are running the “collusion” investigation are the ones who conducted the Hillary email investigation so the compromise of classified material on her home brew server would not become known. Some has been found on a laptop belonging to Hillary aide Huma Abedin’s estranged husband.

2. Though the lamestream media won’t dare breathe it and various other are too squeamish, the strategy to subvert the ’16 election was the assassination of Trump and not use of the Fusion GPS dossier.

And yet, NO look into the VERY REAL ties between the Obama campaign and the Iranian mullahs. There is no doubt Iran meddled in both the 2008 and 2012 elections to sway the outcomes Obama’s way. The question is how and to what extent Obama’s team colluded with that terror state. I’m sure Iran facilitated the whole business of foreign bundlers, chiefly from the Muslim Middle East, contributing to Obama’s campaigns. Ties that go all the way back to his “close adviser,” Iranian-born Valerie Jarrett, and are spread all over his inner circle (it would not exactly be a surprise if this included crooked Hillary). And it’s not simply in the case of his dead silence at the time of the 2009 “green” revolution in Iran, and his silent nod and wink as the mullahs slaughtered the “green” demonstrators; nor of the funneling of billions of taxpayer dollars to the regime; nor of the treasonous “nuclear deal”; nor, as more recently disclosed, his spiking of DEA investigations into Hezbollah drug trafficking. It is far more pervasive, and those four things are the final manifestations of this Obama-Iran connection. Throughout his Presidency, Obama acted for all the world at times more like an agent of Tehran than the leader of the free world. And those that voted for the “nuclear deal” might just as well be “on the take” from Iran themselves.

It’ll end up like Lois Learner…she got her hand slapped and full retirement. Arrest their butts and keep ’em! Start dinging the pensions of these SOBs. They didn’t deserve their pay let alone a pension!

Lerner received a substantial bonus and was transferred. It went well beyond retirement with benefits.

Yes….There are hundreds of millions in “bonuses” passed out to federal employees every year. When did this practice start? How can a “bonus” be paid to any government employee. They produce no profit or revenue (except maybe the IRS) yet they engage in a form of “profit sharing”.
