Akey GOP senator who helped unravel the false Russia collusion narrative declared Tuesday that new evidence introduced by Special Counsel John Durham in a criminal trial shows the FBI engaged in misconduct to carry out a "political vendetta" against Donald Trump.
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, gave his speech on the Senate floor on the same day that an FBI agent admitted during the trial of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann that he is under criminal investigation by Durham. It was the first admission that current FBI officials face potential criminal liability.
Previously, a former FBI lawyer admitted falsifying evidence submitted to the FISA court in order to get surveillance warrants targeting the Trump campaign.
Grassley said testimony and documents submitted at the Sussmann trial showed FBI managers, including ex-Director James Comey, were "fired up" to pursue what turned out to be false allegations created by the Clinton campaign and delivered to the FBI by Sussmann that Trump had a secret communications channel to the Kremlin back in 2016.
The senator, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the FBI effort to sustain the investigation included wrongly claiming in officlal documents that the evidence for the probe came from the Justice Department when in fact it came from Sussmann, a lawyer for Hillary Clinton's campaign.
"By the looks of it, this FBI document contains false information," Grassley said.
"I fear these recent developments are just the tip of the iceberg," he added. "The FBI’s exposure to false information and actually using it for investigative purposes wreaks of a political vendetta. A get-Trump-at-all-costs attitude. Whether Sussmann is convicted or not, the evidence introduced by Durham shows serious government misconduct. Special Counsel Durham can’t let government misconduct go unpunished."

Schmucky Schumer got one right when he warned Trump that the “security apparatus” has six ways to Sunday to get you.
This was nothing but an attempted coup of a sitting President. And James Comey is still walking around a free man while those who protested the 2020 election theft continue to rot in jail.
Sounds more like insurrection than walking through the Capitol for an hour.
“turned out to be”
When I asked Grassley about the obvious fraud in the 2020 election he said it was the most transparent and fair election he had ever seen. #RINO, #CINO
They should give me his salary. I knew all of this back in 2016. All of this was known then.
This was clearly a conspiracy to commit treason. Comey, Priestap, Strzok, Page, McCabe, and all the rest need to be in irons tonight and on trial this year.
Grassley told me he was determined to get to the bottom of “Fast and Furious”.
You men out there.. Why do men, in particular, hate Trump?
Jealousy? Position?
I’m on a quest to find out if these anti Trumper are sheep and follow their crowd, this being empty..
If it is the job he does and they don’t know squat.. Again empty.
The generation that is educated but lacking common sense.
Just would like to know why the hate for Trump and idol worship for Obama.. I don’t get it.
Except good and evil
You can easily extrapolate that to good versus evil.
I’m watching GA count for today.
So far it’s unbelievable.
Some people are so out of who is who.. They ought not have the right to vote when it hurts all of us. I don’t want ignorance to win.
Do what Kemp did and be rewarded
. No consequences for stupidity and back stabbing.
Seems in this war, right is trampled on.
It's the way a two bit banana third world hellhole would act...
