FBI Turns Over Documents on Informants, Trump Campaign Surveillance
2018-06-24
[Breitbart] The FBI handed over documents to House investigators this week detailing how senior law enforcement officials handled "surveillance records," involving Trump associates, along with documents on the agency’s informant program.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) warned on Sunday that he would take additional measures against Justice Department officials unless they complied with an April subpoena requesting documents regarding the agency’s surveillance of the Trump campaign.

"The deadline is this week," the California Republican told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo. "So if documents begin to be turned over tomorrow and a clear way and path forward for everything else is not clear here in the next couple of days, there’s going to be hell to pay by Wednesday morning."

Investigators on the Hill will have an opportunity to learn more about the extent to which senior FBI and Justice Department officials knew about surveillance of the Trump campaign. On Friday, House Oversight and Judiciary Committees received over than 1400 pages of documents "relating to senior FBI or Justice Department officials’ requests to review or manage surveillance records that either involve or mention the Trump campaign or Trump administration," according to Politico.

Freedom Caucus leader Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) downplayed the transfer, branding reports that bureau and Justice Department officials have increased cooperation with lawmakers as "false."

"New reports of DOJ/FBI compliance with document requests are NOT accurate," Meadows tweeted. "While they have turned over additional documents, the new documents represent a small percentage of what they owe."

"The notion that DOJ/FBI have been forthcoming with Congress is false," he added.

Rather obvious I'd say. Providing evidence of participation (or knowledge) of a Christopher Steele (MI6) disinformation campaign would probably not be career enhancing.

Back to that bit yesterday about Steele being on the 'sign-in roster' at Foggy Bottom. Anyone from POLMIL or the Bureau at that gathering? Just asking.
