Rosenstein lets Nunes, Gowdy review FBI memo that kick-started Russia probe
Gotta threaten the phuckers with impeachment to get them to move.

Quote:Facing legal action, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein allowed House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., and Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., to view the FBI memo that instigated the bureau's counterintelligence investigation of contacts between Russia and the Trump campaign, Nunes confirmed on Wednesday.

The meeting came a day after Nunes threatened to take legal action -- including contempt proceedings and impeachment -- against Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray for failing to produce a clean copy of the memo, known as an electronic communication or EC, that was responsive to an August 2017 committee subpoena.

"Although the subpoenas issued by this Committee in August 2017 remain in effect, I’d like to thank Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein for his cooperation today," Nunes responded.

A Justice Department official told Fox News that the memo's redactions had been "narrowly tailored to protect the name of a foreign country and the name of a foreign agent... These words must remain redacted after determining that revealing the words could harm the national security of the American people by undermining the trust we have with this foreign nation."

The official added that the words "appear only a limited number of times, and do no [sic] obstruct the underlying meaning of the document."

"With this production, in conjunction with the 1,000 pages of classified materials—much of which is now being provided to entire [House Intelligence] committee membership—we believe we have substantially satisfied Chairman Nunes August subpoena in an appropriate fashion," said the official. "The Department will be pleased to continue to work with the Committee on other, related requests for information."

Interesting that it required threatened impeachment proceedings to get the legally required response from those “Justice” officials.

I would love for Goudy to be the Attorney General, and just go after all the corruption, but he's said multiple times that he doesn't want the job. Probably because he knows he'd feel like he had to go after it... and that they would probably try to take out his family to stop him.

I wish he'd take the job too, if offered, but I'm betting working for the Don is not an easy thing to do.

Sessions has been terrible.
