This may show us if Sessions is serious or not.

The inspector general’s finding sparked an FBI disciplinary process that recommended his firing, something Sessions can accept or reverse, the paper said.

"Russian Roulette" by Michael Isikoff and David Corn

Has some very interesting things in it. A concern is that Isikoff and Corn are tight w Glenn Simpson


Hard to believe the book wasn't coordinated w Simpson and Steele. Several parts of the book are listed in the "steele dossier" thread

things like:

“Steele’s confidence in the sensational sex claim would fade over time,”

“As for the likelihood of the claim that prostitutes had urinated in Trump’s presence, Steele would say to colleagues, ‘It’s fifty-fifty,'”

Steele’s business partner, Christopher Burrows, immediately questioned Steele’s report, according to the book.

“What the fuck!” Burrows said to Steele during what the authors describe as a heated exchange.

“Burrows feared Steele was sensationalizing his material,” the book reads, which reports that Burrows “later privately described the report as akin to preliminary intelligence reporting — information not analyzed, vetted, or ready for distribution.”

“This was not gospel. It was raw product,” Burrows would say.

Glenn Simpson, the founder of Fusion GPS, the firm that hired Steele, also questioned Steele’s shocking report. The book reveals that Steele told Simpson the identity of the primary source for the “golden showers” allegation: a Belarus-American businessman named Sergei Millian who has claimed to have partnered with Trump’s real estate firm in the past

and note that this is the Michael Isikoff of Yahoo News who wrote the Sept 2016 story about Carter Page.

and it is the David Corn of Mother Jones who wrote the late October 2016 story on the full dossier

Both were briefed by Christopher Steele for those stories

I don't know what "the news article cited by the FBI" refers to.

Mr. Mueller could run afoul of a red line the president has warned him not to cross. Though it is not clear how much of the subpoena is related to Mr. Trump’s business beyond ties to Russia, Mr. Trump said in an interview with The New York Times in July that the special counsel would be crossing a “red line” if he looked into his family’s finances beyond any relationship with Russia. The president declined to say how he would respond if he concluded that the special counsel had crossed that line.

Stocks Drop As Mueller Subpoenas Trump Organization

Mueller Subpoenas Trump Organization, Demanding Documents About Russia

Who cares if Trump did business with Russia years before he decided to run for President? Is that illegal? How does that fit within what is supposed to be the scope of Mueller's investigation? I think this shithead Mueller plans to drag this out until just after the 2020 elections in an attempt to get people to sour on Trump.

This is just rehashing old news.

This sham of an investigation has already issued subpoenas for an untold amount of documents from the Trump Organization, all of which have been turned over. This isn't some earth shattering new bit of news. For chrissakes, someone is just leaking this nonsense to the press to keep this investigation in the headlines and relevant.
