Can a more obvious lie be told?
"Nunes is lying! They're all lying!" babbles the psychopath.
Oh my, Senator Grassley says he has the same FISA information that Nunes does.
He must be lying, too!
We've reached a very, very, VERY dangerous point in this country when high officials the country's most powerful agencies have engaged in a criminal conspiracy and are obstructing justice to cover it up.
'Hide the ball' — On Capitol Hill, growing frustration with FBI secrecy
by Byron York
Republicans in both House and Senate are growing increasingly frustrated with the Federal Bureau of Intelligence and Justice Department over tight restrictions on classified and other confidential information in the Trump-Russia affair....'
That frustration could be heard Wednesday in a speech from Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
On Jan. 4, Grassley and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., chairman of the crime and terrorism subcommittee, sent a criminal referral to the FBI and Justice Department concerning Christopher Steele, the former British spy who authored the Trump dossier. In a cover letter, Grassley and Graham suggested that Steele might have lied to the FBI during his association with the bureau as he compiled the dossier.
That's all the cover letter said. The referral itself, which was classified, made the actual case about Steele. Grassley wrote an unclassified version of the referral for public release — finally, the public could understand what the case was about — but first sent it to the FBI to make sure the information in the unclassified version was in fact unclassified.
That's when Grassley got the runaround. The FBI "falsely claimed" — Grassley's words — that a portion of the document was classified and thus held up release. The information was not classified, Grassley said — it was based on "non-government sources" and "the deputy attorney general has discussed the fact at issue with me more than once in an unsecure space and on an unsecure phone line."
"Unfortunately, I suspect something else is really going on here," Grassley said. "It sure looks like a bureaucratic game of hide the ball, rather than a genuine concern about national security."
.....Grassley also offered support for making the House Intelligence Committee "FISA abuse" memo public. Grassley noted that his Senate committee has "access to the same information" House Intel used in writing the memo....
"Based what I know, I agree that as much of this information should be made public as soon as possible, through the appropriate process," Grassley said of the House memo. "And, I don't just mean the summary memos. The government should release the underlying documents referenced in those memos, after deleting any national security information that truly needs to be protected. But most of this story can be told, and should be told. The American people deserve the truth."
