the DOJ and FBI refusing to hand over documents related to the Steele Dossier on candidate Donald Trump, and the FBI (Via James Comey) involvement in assembling the content therein. However, the lede is buried in paragraph four of the article.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Justice Department and the FBI are resisting demands from a Republican lawmaker to hand over documents about a former British spy’s dossier on purported Russian support for Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign, because the FBI has its own open criminal investigation, officials said.

The U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee issued subpoenas in August seeking “any and all documents” about both agencies’ dealings with former MI6 officer Christopher Steele, according to a letter seen by Reuters from committee chairman Devin Nunes, a Trump supporter.


Steele compiled the so-called Trump dossier, which Trump was told by FBI director James Comey contained salacious material about the businessman-turned president. Trump and his associates have said the dossier’s contents were false.

Law enforcement and congressional officials said that the Justice Department and the FBI were reluctant to comply with the demand for documents as the FBI had its own probe, under the supervision of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, into U.S. allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign to tilt the November election in Trump’s favor.

This is genuinely much more alarming that might initially appear on first review. In essence the FBI is protecting itself from inquiry into unlawful conduct of the FBI.

People often talk about ‘conflict of interest’ in matters of personal or organizational conduct when the investigative apparatus itself is a participating entity into the originating issue. However, the FBI refusing to allow investigative oversight into actions taken by the FBI takes ‘conflicted interest’ concerns into stratospheric levels.

If the issue was simply a one-time request by the FBI to delay inquiry it might not hold the same level of consequence it does right now

But when you combine this intentional action by Robert Mueller to block oversight into the potentially illegal action of a rogue agency with the previous actions within the DOJ as they relate to the IRS targeting, well, what you get is a stunning picture of a weaponized FBI apparatus attempting to avoid accountability.

Drain the swamp......

Now.

President Trumps replacement for Comey, Wray hasn't been in office for a couple weeks and he is already working to protect Comey and to take down President Trump.

Where did Wray come from. What is His History with the DOJ and FBI? miles

Trump to Sessions - "Order the FBI to comply with Intelligence Committee subpoenas."

Sessions to Trump - "No"

Trump to Sessions - "You're fired."

Trump to Rosenstein - "Order the FBI to comply with Intelligence Committee subpoenas."

Rosenstein to Trump - "No"

Trump to Rosenstein - "You're fired."

And on and on until someone at Justice says, "Yes, Mr. President"

I read that article this morning.It's troubling to come to the understanding that these organizations are so politically charged and resoundingly biased.

Justice can't be meted out when there is such political bias.

Past time for Mueller to go; he personifies "The Swamp".

Wheres all the fbi guys who were pissed at Comey for not hanging the bitch of Benghazi.

Congress has oversight over the DOJ, if they choose to use it. They can't directly give them orders, but they can make life very uncomfortable for them, say, by defunding them or refusing to fund them, or impeaching in some cases.

Problem is, the puzzies in both houses have failed to exercise their authority, allowing various persons to refuse to cooperate or testify,when they should be subpoenaing them and sending U.S. Marshalls to fetch them when they don't show, finding them in contemp, etc.

Like I said, puzzies. They don't really want to do anything, except keep getting elected.
