Washington Times: The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has expanded its 2016 election investigation from a starting point of Russian interference to an end-game that focuses on federal law enforcement and how it conducted a drive to snare President Trump and his people.
Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, California Republican, is accusing the Justice Department and the FBI of misleading him in “a pattern of behavior that can no longer be tolerated.” He charges that Justice claimed it possesses no documents related to the infamous Trump dossier, then, under pressure, produced “numerous” such papers.
Republicans in the first half of 2018 are likely to wind down the starting-point inquiry into Russian hacking of Democrats and whether Trump aides helped.
Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the committee’s top Democrat, already is protesting the likely move. He is pushing an extended list of witnesses he wants summoned by Republicans, who suspect Mr. Schiff would like to see the probe stay active into November’s midterm elections and beyond.
Democrats, including Mr. Schiff, have conceded in recent weeks that their hope of finding an extensive Russia–Trump conspiracy to jointly attack former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has fallen short at this point. read more
Wake me when someone goes to prison for this.
These things take time. It’s not like these traitorous conspirators are pleading guilty and throwing themselves on the mercy of the House and Senate Committees investigating their malodorous misdeeds. If anyone appreciates the gravity of their illegal activities, it has to be the lawyers at the FBI and the Justice Department who are the perpetrators of this Constitutional betrayal. They have been covering things up and stonewalling to save their miserable hides. This has to be done properly, so that none of these criminals walks free. Be patient. It’s unraveling. Justice will be done.
