House Intelligence Committee Republicans have launched “Phase 2” of their probe into the origins of the unverified anti-Trump dossier, firing off an inquiry to a host of current and former officials -- including former FBI Director James Comey.
In a letter obtained by Fox News, committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., posed a string of dossier-related questions to current and former intelligence, law enforcement and State Department officials. He specifically wants to know when they learned the document was funded by Democratic sources, and how it was used to obtain one or more surveillance warrants at the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
In the Feb. 20-dated letter, Nunes even threatened to issue subpoenas.
"If you do not provide timely answers on a voluntary basis, the Committee will initiate compulsory process,” he wrote.
Nunes, with cooperation from the White House, earlier this month released a controversial memo alleging the anti-Trump dossier – compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele and funded by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign – was crucial in the application for a surveillance warrant against Trump associate Carter Page.

Rs do a lot of phases and investigations and investigations of investigations and inquiries and theses and speeches and (add here).
Mueller just indicts.
And so it begins to unravel for the Demorats...Not all democrats, just the evil ones...
The fake news media won’t cover it.
By the way, the Democrats haven’t bothered to get their memo released.
Yep, the Dem memo is a dead duck.
If you think the streets of San Diego and San Francisco are paved in fecal matter take a close look at the District of Columbia to see a real sheitehole.
Time to wake up the Republicans that investigating is not indites. Nothing here but playing around.

Where is the DNC-MSM screaming that Schiff-Head is delaying the release of the memo due to political meddling?

Heheh. I check on that periodically. News progression follows ...
"We're not going to make any revisions to it. The only question is what redactions will be made. And obviously we'd like to keep those to a minimum," Schiff told reporters."The White House has a different interest. I think their interest is in redacting anything that doesn't reflect well on the White House," Schiff added.

"I think we're very close to reaching an agreement on it," Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said during a Center on Foreign Relations event.Schiff is in the process of making changes to the countermemo, in cooperation with the FBI.

I have found fothing more recent, on that subject.
The committees have been great. I look forward to their continued good work.
It's the DOJ and the FBI that are failing.
The House can’t indict anyone. They need to make a referral to DOJ to get an indictment done. That’s what Grassley did on the Senate side.
This is the way a white collar criminal investigation goes.
First you complete the investigation and gather all the evidence
Once you have the evidence in hand, you question the suspects
In this cases perjury is always a concern and it’s much easier to get to the truth when the guy getting questioned does not know what evidence you have against them
Looks like these guys are serious
——If you do not provide timely answers on a voluntary basis——
They will continue to drag out the time and foul. Congress should declare intentional fouls and contempt.
Yes, exactly.
