Congressional investigators have confirmed that a top FBI official met with Democratic Party lawyers to talk about allegations of Donald Trump-Russia collusion weeks before the 2016 election, and before the bureau secured a search warrant targeting Trump’s campaign.

The Obama claque’s efforts were initially intended to help Clinton when they thought she would win and no one would know about their crimes.
