DC: The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee is accusing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein of providing an “insufficient” response to requests for documents about the investigation of former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
“This is no ordinary criminal case,” Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley wrote in a letter Wednesday to Rosenstein, who is overseeing the special counsel’s investigation. “It is at the heart of a political firestorm over the President’s alleged statements about it to the former FBI Director, whom he later dismissed. Congress has a right to know the full story and to know it now.”
Grassley, a Republican, has requested documents and interviews to help figure out whether the FBI believed that Flynn lied during a Jan. 24, 2017 interview about his contacts a month earlier with Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the U.S.
Flynn pleaded guilty on Dec. 1 to lying to FBI agents about those contacts. He reportedly denied discussing sanctions with Kislyak, though it has been reported that sanctions were mentioned in their conversation.
Grassley wants to see a transcript of the Flynn-Kislyak interaction as well as notes from Flynn’s first FBI interview.
I’m trying to understand the downside of Trump declassifying all the documents. I can only guess that he’s waiting for his people to prepare massive prosecutions. Other than that????????
I hope that once this is over Flynn will be made right again for all he’s been through and even more so that he gets to see his tormentors get what they so eagerly dished out. That means you Mueller!
Robespierre Mueller and his Committee of Public Safety are probably trying to close this down before it ruptures his case against Flynn. Senator Grassley is on top of the case. I sense a dismissal of the charges could be in Flynn’s future.
Grassley needs to lop off a 1/2 dozen heads and stop playing games. Whats up with this pleading and begging for documents? Produce them by Tuesday or find new jobs on Wednesday. A court or the IRS wouldn’t be waiting for their production.
we the citizens are being played by the political class in this country.
we the citizens are the only ones who can stop it.
thank God one citizen stepped up and ran for president.
Thanks Donald Trump for exposing this corrupt political institution for all to see.
