I have seen several comments along this line. But, didn't AG Sessions recuse himself from anything having to do with the investigation?
I thought the Obama appointee is calling the shots on these matters in the DOJ.
According to Senator Grassly, the DOJ and the FBI are not providing what his committee needs to get the Rosenstein nomination out of his committee. Hence, no President Trump leadership at the DOJ or FBI.
Did I miss something? I was unhappy that Sessions recused himself because it left potentially hostile political forces in the driver's seat. Are they steering left?

This has got to be frustrating the ever-loving Hell out of the left.
Watching the reporters transition from asking if Trump was credible after his tweets to that made me smile. I'm sure we will have retractions and apologies coming from the media any moment.

Yeah, and don't try to feed me the nonsense that Barry knew nothing about this. His last minute change regarding rules in the sharing of classified information between agencies makes perfect sense now. unAmerican right till the end.

Incidentally gathered you say... Then reports were developed...
Interesting how that isn't intelligence gathering or wire tapping.

Reports that had to have been transcribed by someone. Reports that apparently should have never left NSA in unredacted form since they involved American citizens. Reports that should have required extensive hoop jumping to get them to the White House--even in a redacted state. This is...you know...huge

It Took a Freshman GOP Congresswoman To Pull The Mask From FBI Director Comey… Posted on March 20, 2017 by sundance FBI Director James Comey unmasked as a Deep State Black Hat Operative.
Representative Elise M. Stefanik is a young, freshman republican congresswoman from the Albany New York area. And using a probative questioning timeline, she single-handily pulled the mask from FBI Director James Comey, yet no-one seemed to notice.
Obviously Ms. Stefanik has not been in the swamp long enough to lose her common sense.

Every day since Trumps tweet about wiretapping, I have watched Sean Spicer be asked by the reporters if President Trump was going to apoligize to Obama. Lord I hope Sean turns the table and asks the reporters if Obama is going to apoligize to Trump.
“We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration…President Obama’s administration before this. We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics,” Pres. Select, Joe Biden
Republican congressional investigators expect a potential “smoking gun” establishing that the Obama administration spied on the Trump transition team, and possibly the president-elect himself, will be produced to the House Intelligence Committee this week, a source told Fox News.
Classified intelligence showing incidental collection of Trump team communications, purportedly seen by committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., and described by him in vague terms at a bombshell Wednesday afternoon news conference, came from multiple sources, Capitol Hill sources told Fox News. The intelligence corroborated information about surveillance of the Trump team that was known to Nunes, sources said, even before President Trump accused his predecessor of having wiretappedhim in a series of now-infamous tweets posted on March 4.
The intelligence is said to leave no doubt the Obama administration, in its closing days, was using the cover of legitimate surveillance on foreign targets to spy on President-elect Trump, according to sources.
The key to that conclusion is the unmasking of selected U.S. persons whose names appeared in the intelligence, the sources said, adding that the paper trail leaves no other plausible purpose for the unmasking other than to damage the incoming Trump administration.
The FBI hasn’t been responsive to the House Intelligence Committee’s request for documents, but the National Security Agency is expected to produce documents to the committee by Friday. The NSA document production is expected to produce more intelligence than Nunes has so far seen or described – including what one source described as a potential “smoking gun” establishing the spying.
Some time will be needed to properly assess the materials, with the likely result being that congressional investigators and attorneys won’t have a solid handle on the contents of the documents – and their implications – until next week.
CIA Director Mike Pompeo is also sympathetic to the effort to determine, with documentary evidence, the extent of any alleged Obama administration spying on the Trump team, sources said.

after Fox benched Napolitano, you would think they wouldn't run w this unless they had a good source. sure hope so.
very disturbing that we keep hearing the FBI has not been responsive

"Trump's Washington hotel poses no conflict of interest, agency finds"
"The Trump International Hotel in Washington is not in violation of federal conflict-of-interest rules that bar elected officials from taking part in a lease of federal property, the U.S. General Services Administration said on Thursday.
Critics argued that the luxury hotel housed in the historic Old Post Office a few blocks from the White House was a conflict of interest for Republican President Donald Trump because he is both landlord and tenant of the building. Lawyers for the hotel said the claim had no merit.
Democratic lawmakers asked the GSA, which oversees federal property, to clarify the status of the lease arrangement.
“We would like to thank the GSA for their diligent review of this matter," Amanda Miller, a spokeswoman for the hotel, said in an email.
In January, Trump said he would maintain ownership of his global business empire, but hand control to his two oldest sons while president. His eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., subsequently took the reins of the Washington hotel.
In a letter from GSA contracting officer Kevin Terry to Donald Trump Jr., the agency said the issue had been resolved by the younger Trump taking over as head of the company that runs the hotel and by changes to its internal operating agreement.
The GSA said the company, the Trump Old Post Office LLC, was in full compliance with the section of the lease prohibiting elected federal officials from having any part of it.
The hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue has become a rallying point for anti-Trump protesters."
