Powerful senator trying to make infamous pee tape dossier disappear from the FBIs Trump-Russia in

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, on Friday challenged FBI agents reportedly using the infamous Christopher Steele dossier as a “roadmap” to their investigation, demanding they explain the impact foreign intelligence may have had on their probe.

In a letter to the FBI, Grassley asked whether salacious dossier, which alleges Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia to impact the 2016 presidential election may have been “surreptitiously funneled into U.S. intelligence streams through foreign intelligence sharing.”

“Mr. Steele’s dossier allegations might appear to be ‘confirmed’ by foreign intelligence, rather than just an echo of the same ‘research’ that Fusion bought from Steele and that the FBI reportedly also attempted to buy from Steele,” Grassley wrote.

“The committee must understand what steps the FBI has taken to ensure that any foreign information it received and used in the Russia investigation, beyond the dossier itself, was not ultimately sourced to Mr. Steele, his associates such as Fusion GPS, or his subsources,” he added.

Democrats linked arms insisting Barack Obama was not a secret gay Muslim terrorist born in Africa. It infuriated republican voters to no end.

I say that with tongue securely held in cheek, but the second sentence is sadly true. I myself was roundly chided at a bar for discounting what they "knew".

His demands would be irrelevant if he really cared about getting to the truth.

You, Grassley have the means and the power to ask this asshole to come before your f*cking committee. You also have the means to bring forth Jeff Sessions to ask him to fully explain his congressional perjury............and you have f*cking failed that job requirement also................


Your FUCKING PARTY IS riddled with FUCKING TRAITORS asshole, what do you think the FBI does, it looks for F*CKING TRAITORS


Just resign and have someone with competence do the job, like for instance Al Franken

should have imposed their own "term limit" on his puke ass a long time ago.

How tools like this guy, Lyin' Ryan or McTurdle keep getting reelected is a mystery to me.

Religious fundies love having someone they can be a pervert through vicariously. They don't have to sin themselves. But they get to finally not be regarded as someone who is a weak puritan turn-the-other-cheek wimp that gets ridiculed on comedy shows, someone like that wimpy Jesus fellow represents.
