| 2018-06-25 |
| [POLITICO] The FBI turned over thousands of documents to Congress this week, including details about its use of informants to glean information on Russian contacts with President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... 's campaign, according to letters the bureau sent to three GOP committee chairmen on Friday. The documents provided this week include details about some of the FBI's most sensitive programs, including a file on the FBI's justification to obtain a court-authorized warrant to spy on a former Trump campaign aide in October 2016. The move appears poised to thaw a pitched confrontation between Republican politicians and the Justice Department, though Speaker Paul Ryan ...Speaker of the House, U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district, serving since 1999. He is a member of the Republican Party. He proposed an alternative to President Obama's 2011 budget and made himself the target of both Democrat and Republican verbal pies... 's office said there are a few "outstanding items" that require more time. One FBI letter responded to document requests by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) made in August 2017, as well as in March and April. The other was to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and House Overisght Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), who issued an extensive subpoena for records in March. Files continued to arrive on Capitol Hill as late as Friday, according to the bureau, when the FBI submitted a classified letter to the House Intelligence Committee detailing whether the FBI relied on informants on Russian meddling prior to the official opening of its investigation. Also on Friday, the FBI turned over more than 1,400 pages of documents to the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees relating to senior FBI or Justice Department officials' requests to review or manage surveillance records that either involve or mention the Trump campaign or Trump administration. |

| #7 #1 This doesn't mean jack shit until some of these scumbags get arrested and brought up on charges. But hey, the rubes think Congress is "doing something." And isn't that what truly matters? |

| #5 Thousands of documents...thousands...and it's probably only a fraction of what Nunez wants. Who writes all this crap and who has time to read it? No wonder they can't get anything done in Washington D.C. |

| #4 Would it not also be wise to look at the FBI files on the uranium-one floggers's links to Russia? After all comparing the effort put in may reveal something. |

| #2 How many documents were asked for? How many pages are in these documents? How does this compare to the 1,400 pages released? Could be half of a document AFAIK, given 0bumholecare was about 2,800 pages or something like that. |
