Erik Holder was part of the justice department, not congress. Congress needs to set aside funding for FBI to investigate these crimes. The Justice department can’t magically make more money for agents to do this and all the FBI efforts are focused on terrorism. There is no one to gather to evidence to prosecute and its been like that since 9/11. And it won’t change until the public demands it. | ||

'Father I thank you that we have a president, president Donald Trump who believes in the power of prayer' 'We thank you that the president has the wisdom to call our nation right now for a day of prayer Father, this is what we need' 'We also want to pray for spiritual healing, emotional healing for this country. This country has been bitterly divided for decades upon decades, and now You have given us a gift: President Donald Trump' while they lay their hands on him. Like what am I watching? Give them another year and he'll be the second coming of Christ at this rate. I thought the god-emperor stuff was supposed to be memes. | ||

There's some nasty business here needing investigation ... Grassley/Graham are giving the FBI until September 13th to turn over additional documents. | ||

Fits your style. That doesn't diminish the imperative to follow up this possible evidence. Using it as a cover to divert or discredit other investigations is still not acceptable. E: apologies I've must have misread. | ||

EDIT: isn't it entirely plausible that the investigation into the hard evidence and early phone calls was enough to exonerate here? The emails themselves flatly showed no crime. The interviews didn't add anything. EDIT2: damn this Grassley spin is going down fast. | ||

Not accidentally, but purposely, when he said that Comey was fired because of Rosensteins "suggestion". | ||
