Good grief, what Congress needs to see (and the public also) are the Strzok and Page texts having to do with Mueller and his witch-hunt. Yet, the DOJ is giving Mueller and his anti-Trump hatchetmen a veto over what Congress gets to see. This is actually insane and I hope the GOP congressional investigators do not take this at this face value. How on earth can Congress allow Andrew Weissman to dictate what Congress can and cannot see?

"The department is not providing text messages that were purely personal in nature,"

Ummmm, they were paid for by the taxpayers. Fork `em over.

“The department is not providing text messages that were purely personal in nature,” Boyd wrote. “Furthermore, the department has redacted from some work-related text messages portions that were purely personal. ....


Since when does the Justice Department get to pick and choose what evidence it decides to turn over to congressional investigators?

Oh... right... ever since Eric Holder flaunted Congressional authority.

Why is there no special investigator on this? It’s clear the alphabet agencies nor congress are capable of investigating themselves. If the parties involved were reversed, the msm would be demanding it.

Oh ....so they delay the release to pick and choose which extracted texts
to turn over. BS. Guess we need to depend on Judicial Watch AGAIN to get any information.

Exhibit A as to why Nunes should not show the memo to the FBI or DOJ (or any of the corrupted agencies). These people cannot be trusted.

No such thing as a personal text on a government phone. They are all purely government texts.

Unbelievable crap. To allow Mueller, the former head of this corrupt agency with a vested interest in hiding documents that may be injurious to his “investigation” and his agency, to refuse to comply with a Congressional request is beyond belief. Pa Sessions supposedly runs the Justice Department, you’d never know it.

“related to the structure, operation, and substance of the [Special Counsel’s Office]’s investigation”. Those are precisely what we need to see. Mueller is covering up.

I can see why people turn to Q for solace. Everybody on ‘our side’ is still shivvin’ us at every turn and opportunity. Don’t tell me Jeff is so squeaky clean he can’t be brought down by us if we can get the goods on him.

IMHO, we’ve arrived at the time where we MUST recognize that much of the DOJ and FBI are an ONGOING CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE. It’s clear also that Sessions is either compromised in some fashion and forced to participate in ongoing obstructions or is WILLINGLY COMPLICIT.

It’s a sad time for our nation!

If only we had a Republican President, he would order his Justice Department to release this information instead of hiding it to protect the Deep State.

Sessions recused himself so Rosenstein is giving Mueller free reign. It’s that simple.

Yes, and it appears that that person is Robert Mueller.

"Ummmm, they were paid for by the taxpayers. Fork `em over."

Not to mention the fact that they were probably doing most of their scheming while they were on the clock. Isn't there a government rule that your department-issued phones aren't to be used for personal communications?
