Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson has requested the Department of Justice turn over communications from 16 FBI and DOJ officials, including former Director James Comey and former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. In a letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein sent Wednesday, the Wisconsin Republican requested “all documents and communications” — which includes emails, memos, notes, texts, iPhone instant messages, and voicemails — from 16 employees between January 1, 2015, to the present. The request is part of the committee´s broader probe into how the FBI handled its investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton´s use of a

And the response was “Oversight? What’s that?”

While better than most, I would give them a week.

The Democrat Party crime syndicate and government employees.....

“Just help us out a little! You don’t want those evil Republicans to win, do you?”

Later.....

“We need your help again. What do you mean it’s too much? You didn’t seem to care about legalities the last time you helped us. Maybe someone would like to know how you’ve been helping us.”

Now, you’ll do anything for the Democrat Party.....Anything.

The investigation has completely flipped. Trump is no longer the main subject of an investigation.

DISMANTLE F.B.I.

“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.” - list of grievances; Declaration

We will make it without it. The last executive branch was the most evil in the history of the republic.

“All” makes it simple, no filtering needed, just hand them over. Somehow I don’t expect it to be simple or completed by the February 14 deadline. Maybe a word from Trump? I think it is past time for him to lay down the law—cooperate with Congress and investigations, immediately release all requested materials or quit if you cannot do your jobs and carry out instructions. I really don’t understand why he hasn’t given instructions to cooperate.

As Trump’s motorcade passes in Springfield Mo., whacko car suddenly emerges from the WOODS, streetside:

Secret Service detains car occupants, two women, apparently.

Get all text and emails by all FBI and DOJ employees. They used government equipment on government time, there is no such thing as privacy in that situation.

Do keyword searches until every last corrupt employee is identified. Also identify each employee who violated other rules like conducting business on non-government issued accounts and other for cause termination situations.

Then, figure out which ones get to go to GITMO, which just regular jail and which are simply terminated with cause. Subject each and every employee to polygraph.

I guess it might be possible one or two are not corrupt, but we need to find out.

“”The request is part of the committee´s broader probe””

Broader probe? For crying out loud!! They didn’t have all their ducks in a row when they started this investigation? Who’s running the show? How much do our elected officials rely on their staffers to do their work for them? When is someone going to get serious about this corruption?

I’d be for ending your sentence at “simply terminated”........

“Comey and McCabe... He also names outgoing FBI chief of staff James Rybicki, acting FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich and John Giacalone, the lead FBI agent on the probe into Clinton’s emails. Johnson also asked for the text messages between Strzok and Page that were previously recovered after being considered missing.”

As Ben Franklin pointed out, no more than two people can reliably keep a secret, as long as at least one of them is dead.

Round up sixteen of these spoiled elitist social climbers and threaten them with long prison sentences, and there will be quite a bit of singing going on.
