DOJ And FBI Staffers May Be Delaying Info On Trump Dossier Behind Backs Of Superiors
2017-09-08
[Daily Caller] WASHINGTON ‐ Subpoenas sent to the Justice Department and FBI from the House Intelligence Committee requesting documents related to documents about the infamous Trump dossier are allegedly being held up by officials at the agencies behind the backs of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray.

"The House Intel Committee had repeatedly asked the agencies for documents related to the dossier since May. After the agencies failed to produce the documents following numerous requests, the committee sent out subpoenas on August 24, the Chairman sent a letter on September 1, and finally new subpoenas were issued on September 5," a congressional staffer told The Daily Caller Thursday.

"It’s hard to tell to whether Sessions and Wray are personally involved in these requests or whether people around them are slow-rolling this without keeping them fully informed," the staffer added.

The House Intel Committee as well as the Senate Judiciary Committee want to understand how the FBI became involved in the dossier as well as understand how the GPS Fusion dossier author, former British spy Christopher Steele, fits into the bureau’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign.

#6  Wonder if he is holding out for bigger impact close to the election either 2018 or 2020. Nailing Dem hide to the wall as corrupt, especially the minions like Holder et al, would be huge

#5  Afraid to peel the onion back for fear of what might be found at the core?

If Trump truly wants to shake up things in Washington, serious investigations are the easiest way to do it. It would get a lot of powerful folks out of his way.

#3  Orbis Business Intelligence LTD is nearly within hand grenade range of the SIS building in London. There is a reason why you see very little about Chirstipher Steele in the British press, and there appears to be little interest regarding his activities within the U.S. gov't. I generally look for what is not being spoken about.

#2  Trump Admin is "slow-rolling" things as well:

(1) investigation of Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation; (2) Seth Rich; (3) allowing federal judges to not adhere to the law (I think Roland Freisler was no less honorable); (4) Obama illegal intelligence activities; &c, &c, ad nauseam.
