Stealth coup. Further proof that a complete purge of Obama operatives is required from ALL agencies. If Hillary had gotten in, the country would have been toast in four years.

Grassley probes FBI’s ties to British spy who investigated Trump
By Jonathan Easley, The Hill, March 6, 2017:
Story continues below advertisementSenate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) has opened an inquiry into allegations the FBI worked with the British spy who authored a controversial opposition research dossier on President Trump during the 2016 election.
In a Monday letter to FBI Director James Comey, Grassley asked for records pertaining to any agreements the agency may have had with Christopher Steele. The MI6 agent wrote an explosive memo on behalf of Trump’s political enemies alleging that the Russians had compromising information on the president.
Comey briefed Trump on the existence of the memo in a private meeting in January.
Shortly after, several news organizations published the unverified allegations, which the White House denied.
In late February, The Washington Post reported that the FBI reached an agreement with Steele whereby the British spy would continue his investigation on behalf of the bureau.
“While Trump has derided the dossier as ‘fake news’ compiled by his political opponents, the FBI’s arrangement with Steele shows that the bureau considered him credible and found his information, while unproved, to be worthy of further investigation,” the Post reported at the time.
Grassley is pushing back and demanding the FBI provide information pertaining to its use of the British spy, whose salacious allegations have infuriated Trump and his allies.
“The idea that the FBI and associates of the Clinton campaign would pay Mr. Steele to investigate the Republican nominee for President in the run-up to the election raises further questions about the FBI’s independence from politics, as well as the Obama administration’s use of law enforcement and intelligence agencies for political ends,” Grassley wrote.
“It is additionally troubling that the FBI reportedly agreed to such an arrangement given that, in January of 2017, then-Director Clapper issued a statement stating that ‘the [intelligence community] has not made any judgment that the information in this document is reliable, and we did not rely upon it in any way for our conclusions’.”
In his letter, Grassley asks for all records regarding Steele’s investigation, details of the agreement between the FBI and Steele, the FBI’s policies for using outside investigators, and whether the bureau has relied on any of the information Steele has provided in seeking warrants.

Could be the Post is just trying to stir up trouble between the bureau and the administration.

IMO, FBI director Comey should be fired, because he’s to wishy-washy and can’t be trusted. Next, John Brennan and James Clapper should both be investigated for leaking info on President Trump, of which is a treasonous act. Also, Trump needs to drain the swamp by firing ALL Obama holdovers.

And Mr Comey’s 2-i-c-, one Mr McCabe, whose wife accepted campaign funds from a Clinton organisation.

Comey needs to go. Really, does he have an credibility left? It’s evident from his cross-examination of Comey that Trey Gowdy considers the FBI gone to the dogs.

I tend to agree, but his 2-i-c should not step into Mr Comey’s post, because of his (Mr McCabe’s) wife’s acceptance of campaign funds from a Clinton fund.
I am not an American, I don’t live in the USA and have never visited the USA. What is Mrs Lynch doing at the moment?

I saw that, but I meant officially, now that Mr Sessions is AG. Does she still have a job, and, if so, why and where?

Look at the two of them. They remind me of old Bolsheviks in the Russian revolution.

Just for perspective, compare and contrast the manner is which Obhammud and Trump use their creative energies. The difference could not be more stark and frightening, Trump being a welcome change that was long overdue.

No doubt the FBI will stonewall this, and it will take Judicial Watch to file a similar FOIL request, followed by a suit, to pry the information from this totally “non-political,” “completely impartial” agency. (barf!)
