House intel postpones Trump dossier hearing amid DOJ talks
The Hill ^ | 09/27/17 01:49 PM EDT | Katie Bo Williams

The House Intelligence Committee has postponed a quietly scheduled open hearing intended to nudge the Department of Justice into complying with a subpoena related to a controversial dossier linking President Trump to Russia.

Talks are ongoing between the Justice Department and the committee over what information the department will provide and how. Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) is scheduled to meet with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Thursday as part of the negotiations.

A spokesman for the department told The Hill earlier in the week that it had requested that the subpoenas be placed on hold during the discussions.

The tense negotiations come at a moment of heightened friction between the Justice Department and a slate of congressional committees running investigations parallel to special counsel Bob Mueller's probe of Russian interference in the presidential election.

DOJ obstructing the entire investigation. They won’t investigate themselves and are trying to block any attempt to look into these crimes.

Correct. The DOJ and the Congress in general. Too many are exposed by it. Crimes are not minor.

That is why they must be exposed.

Yes, he was very much an active participant.

But like the rest, he did it for the money.
