FBI informant blocked from telling Congress about Russia nuclear corruption case, lawyer says
The Hill ^ | 10/18/2017 | JOHN SOLOMON AND ALISON SPANN

Posted on 10/18/2017 11:46:26 AM PDT by bitt

An American businessman who worked for years undercover as an FBI confidential witness was blocked by the Obama Justice Department from telling Congress about conversations and transactions he witnessed related to the Russian nuclear industry's efforts to win favor with Bill and Hillary Clinton and influence Obama administration decisions, his lawyer tells The Hill.

Attorney Victoria Toensing, a former Reagan Justice Department official and former chief counsel of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Tuesday she is working with members of Congress to see if they can get the Trump Justice Department or the FBI to free her client to talk to lawmakers.

“All of the information about this corruption has not come out,” she said in an interview Tuesday. “And so my client, the same part of my client that made him go into the FBI in the first place, says, 'This is wrong. What should I do about it?'”

Calling AG Sessions.... that’s right he isn’t answering to anyone but his fellow Senate swamp buddies.

Oh don't you worry. Jeff Swampsions will be RIGHT ON THIS.

He will make sure any evidence is destroyed, any witnesses silenced, and any investigation shut right down.

House of cards might be coming down. If Sessions can be convinced to really investigate it. If he’s just saying so he’s doing it to stop the immediacy of the Senate investigation

I think Sessions has shown he doesn't have the intestinal fortitude for such a thing...And maybe that has to do with the fact that every one of his subordinates is a hold over Obama/Hillary supporter...There's no one there who would do a legitimate investigation...

Sessions could have said in testimony this morning that the DOJ and FBI are actively investigating these allegations. He did not.

Sounds like Obama should be in a cell. If Obama was a Republican he definitely would be. This is beyond disgusting.

Sessions will have to find out if it’s okay with Rosenstein and Mueller first.

There no alarm clocks were he’s vacationing ... but the sun is shinning and the air is warm’ the travel agency issued a guarantee that the weather would be great and electricity and phones would be off ... for the next years ... so he snoozes on, oblivious.

The FBI and the Justice Department are and have been protecting Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and pretender Obama.

Talk about sending in real prosecutors! Not some congressional lackey called a special "whatever". He is not getting to the larger problem that began with Hillary Clinton or earlier.

Yep, it ticks me off to no end how this guy is doing NOTHING. The government has NEVER been as corrupt as it is now, every branch, every department, and this guy hasn’t indicted one single solitary person. Hillary waltzing around badmouthing the President, the country, overwhelming evidence against her 110 felony violations of the espionage act, racketeering, theft of aid money to Haiti on and on and on and on and what do we get? Weiner on sexting. Woo! Thank God! The country is saved!
