Walls Close In Around DOJ and FBI “Small Group” Participants

Several stories broke yesterday:
1. Senator Ron Johnson gains copies of the manipulated/edited FBI small group “talking points” that exonerated Hillary Clinton despite overwhelming evidence. Johnson is a Senate Judiciary Committee member and remains focused on those specifics.
2. Senator Chuck Grassley has identified that former FBI Director James Comey leaked classified FBI information to the media to gain political leverage. Additional questions are now raised by the Senate Judiciary Chairman.
3. The FBI has begun a new review of the Clinton Foundation pay-to-play network during Hillary Clinton’s tenure at the State Dept. Investigators are questioning the people within the Clinton foundation about actions taken as a result of donations to the foundation.
4. A federal judge has ruled that Fusion GPS must turn over it’s bank records to the House Intelligence Committee. Including records of financial payments to journalists and media outlets to push the Christopher Steele “Dossier” story.
5. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes will be receiving all remaining DOJ documents, without redaction, that pertain to the 2016 DOJ/FBI FISA court application. In addition eight key members of the FBI “small group” will be questioned by the committee.
6. The Dept. of Justice it reopening the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email use; and how both Clinton and her aide Huma Abedin used, shared and stored classified documents on their personal servers and devices.
7. Paul Manafort sues Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his probe due to a claim of overreach and operating outside the scope of his legal authority from congress.
Additionally, the DOJ Office of Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, is anticipated to deliver 1.2 million documents, from a year-long investigation into the FBI/DOJ, to House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte on January 15th.
It is easy to get stuck in the weeds on any individual storyline within the larger network of ongoing investigations. However, the bigger picture is found in the commonality all of these investigations hold.
The single thread that binds all of these stories together is the political use of the FBI and DOJ by former and current officials within each department….
In addition to the FBI and DOJ leadership, a small group of around 20 people participated in the weaponization of the FBI Counterintelligence Unit, the DOJ National Security Division, and later the Robert Mueller Special Counsel investigation. All of the investigative headlines surround the former political use of the FBI and DOJ.

In the coming ten days do not be surprised to see numerous leaks to the Washington Post, New York Times or CNN that are the outcome of those continuing operations. Look for a pattern within the leaks. It would not be surprising to see variations (fake news/real leaks) of the same documents used as tracers. All of the inbound information to congress only increases the likelihood of leaks. However, we are also in the phase where the congressional leakers will have to wonder if they are a target.

The day that Sessions opens a formal Investigation is the day that any kind of hindrance to said Investigation, potentially becomes Obstruction. That is when the Deep State Operatives like Schiff (who I suspect took some of HRC/Putin's money via Lobbyists) head under their rocks.
All comes down to the OIG Report, where there will be more than enough documented evidence to start the Grand Jury rolling.

Right.
Many on the right have been complaining about Sessions recusing himself for this entire MUH Russians affair but Inspector General Michael Horowitz and his team of almost 500 employees has been on the case since last January.

IF the IG report is honest and not another whitewash proclaiming Hillary, Comey and all the others patriots.

From what I read, he won't be given the documents, but they will be made available to the entire committee in a secure facility.

I think the FBI, DOJ, etc have made it clear that they do not comment on ongoing investigations unless it had to deal with Trump. My belief is that Sessions has multiple investigations going on and that is why you are starting to see all this info come to light.

Fusion GPS is clearly worried because they appealed the Judge who ruled against them today.

It’ll be fun if the judge’s ruling stands.
Financial proof of journalists and outlets being paid to promote “fake news”.

This would be massive in proving the media has been complicit in all of this and "FAKE NEWS" will forever live in infamy.
