Why is the FBI stonewalling congressional subpoenas on the Fusion GPS ‘Trump Dossier’?
American Thinker ^ | 10/7/17 | Thomas Lifson

Could the story behind the “Trump dossier” be the Rosetta Stone of Russian manipulation of our electoral process in 2016? There is a strong and justifiable suspicion that the dossier was the critical bit of evidence that persuaded the FISA Court to reverse itself and permit monitoring of American associates of Donald Trump. The dossier was originally begun as an opposition research project for Republican rivals of Trump, then funded by Democrats, and allegedly, finally funded by the FBI. We already know that some of the wild accusations in it were demonstrably false.

The House Intelligence Committee long has been looking into allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, and so far has come up with nothing. As in zero specific evidence. This was admitted by no less than Rep. Jackie Spier, a veteran Democrat member of the House of Representatives,

It is obviously worth investigating, then, how that dossier came to be created in the first place, and how it was used by various organs of the United States Government, if there is interest in getting to the truth behind Russia’s attempts to affect our elections. Yet, the FBI is refusing to hand over documents that have been subpoenaed by the House.

You are not going to get any investigation into it because it uncovers the conspiracy to take down Trump and how dems and rinos get around spying laws so spy on US citizens.

Because the US Government is a corrupt, amoral, bloated monster that has become almost a mirror image of the old Soviet Union?

Because they are just as dirty as everyone else in The Swamp?

Obama totally politicized every bureaucracy in Washington, including the FBI.

I’m sure we can trust them to get to the bottom of the Las Vegas shioting, too.

Once the text of this fabricated package is revealed, it shall be easy enough to puncture any and all of the misconceptions, misstatements and outright lies contained, and strip away any validity of the report altogether.

And probably somebody is gonna get fired.

right? these bastards don’t even know how to conduct a real investigation into a real criminal case like they’re supposed to be doing in that agency. Instead they’re too busy being political hacks and political propagandist against POTUS for the left.

Seriously, this isn’t a real law enforcement agency. Just power hungry political hacks.
Get the Vegas PD and detectives on the case they’re the ones with real knowledge of solving real crime.

I’m sure that Senator Richard Burr(Rh) North Carolina, doesn’t really want anyone else to look at them anyway.

“Why won’t the new FBI Director just order his subordinates to cough up the documents? Or the Attorney General order him to do it.”

“Why won’t...the Attorney General order...”

The answer is that the Attorney General is Jeff Sessions. Self-explanatory.

Why wait a week? 24 hours at the most to start producing.

AG Sessions has too many Senate friends that he wants to protect against their own crimes to be effective.

I cannot imagine him being compromised, but he may be that too.

Because today's "FIB" is as concerned about a real investigation as today's West Point is concerned about duty, honor and country.
