Text Messages in Hand, Republicans Plan to Accuse Justice Department of Bias

WASHINGTON — The release Tuesday night of F.B.I. officials’ text messages describing the possibility of a victory by Donald J. Trump as “terrifying” and saying that Hillary Clinton “just has to win” is fueling a Republican campaign to attack the impartiality of the Justice Department and its special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III — and possibly hamper him with an investigation of the special counsel’s office.

Accusations of bias, primed by the newly released texts from an F.B.I. agent, Peter Strzok, and an F.B.I. lawyer, Lisa Page, took center stage on Wednesday when Rod J. Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general who appointed Mr. Mueller as special counsel, began testifying before the House Judiciary Committee. Republicans pressed Mr. Rosenstein to appoint a second special counsel to investigate political partisanship in the department and to scrutinize Mr. Trump’s former presidential rival, Mrs. Clinton.

The campaign against the Justice Department, at the very least, provides a rallying cry for the president’s supporters to counter the drumbeat of news about Russian interference in the election and the possible collusion of the Trump campaign.

“Each and every day we are finding more and more instances of intractable bias that is infecting this investigation,” said Representative Matt Gaetz, a first-term Florida Republican who has emerged as one of Mr. Trump’s most vocal defenders on Capitol Hill.

Democrats on the committee tried to extract assurances from Mr. Rosenstein that Mr. Mueller’s investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia is safe.

...

Mr. Gaetz and a half dozen or so colleagues detailed those cases on the House floor for an hour on Tuesday evening.

Plan to accuse..so the Slimes have NO problem with the FBI doing a MASSIVE lynch mob against President Trump because they hate his policies..OK New York Slimes, imagine for one moment, instead of F Trump, it was F Clinton, and “Lets have an insurance policy against her if she wins” come on Slimes, tell me again about your “Plan to accuse”

[Dr. Ursus]

It’s SEDITION!!

[Lurkinanloomin]

She had to win to cover all the crimes of the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

[snarkytart]

Listening to Rush now read some of the texts and boy this is a disgrace. Saying ‘we can’t risk” Trump winning. SMH

[Signalman]

Was the fake dossier drummed up by Fusion GPS used to get the FISA warrant used to wiretap American citizens (General Flynn).

If so, according attorney Greg Jarrett, who appears regularly on Hannity, this would be a criminal act.

Where the F**** is Jeff Sessions?

1. He needs to ask Mueller his vetting of employees

If vetted then arrest him for lying to a DOJ employee if not shut him down the American people demand a fair investigation.

I mean the whole floor where their offices are were a meeting place of lets get Trump.

Against DOJ policy no proffer or evidence given for immunity against DOJ Policy REALLY

[Sarah Barracuda]

And how about the “We need an insurance policy in case he wins” HELLO..BOGUS RUSSIA NONSENSE..if this had been done to ANY Democrat there would be PROTESTS in the streets..the Commie media would be demanding everyone’s firing..but because they HATE and I mean HATE Trump, they hate the fact that he is alive and BREATHING..its A OK with them

[atc23]

“ why you brain dead black buffalo, now get busy cleaning this shit up because if this son of a bitch wins, we’re all going to be swinging from nooses!”

Who said this?

[txrefugee]

Hillary Clinton said it to Donna Brazille.

[Chauncey Gardiner]

In other news, AG Sessions remains in a coma.

[nobamanomore]

to be honest, he’s been in Congress too long, where everything takes years and nothing ever gets done. If they had put a guy out of private practice who had hustled his whole life to stay alive, there would be jails full of these scumbags.

Give it up, ain’t nothing going to happen, ever. I’ve pretty much given up on all of them, it appears that our whole country is going to have to hit bottom before it will ever be fixed.

[Kozak]

yeah. And I’m sure they will chastise them severely.
Maybe write them a nasty letter.

[iontheball]

Where the F**** is Jeff Sessions?

[DrDude]

The amazing part is that no one will attempt to get to the
FISA/Unmasking issue. Where were these questions today? Where are these questions put to Sessions? Who is running this charade?

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks reaganaut1.
