Congressional lawmakers made a criminal referral Wednesday to the Department of Justice Attorney General Jeff Sessions against former senior-level Obama administration officials, including employees of the FBI connected with the unverified dossier alleging collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, as well as those involved in the warrants used to spy on a former Trump campaign volunteer, this reporter has learned. The lawmakers also made a criminal referral on former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and threats made by her DOJ against the FBI informant, who provided the bureau with information on the Russian nuclear industry and the approval in 2010 to sell roughly 20 percent of American uranium mining assets to Russia.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee member Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Florida, along with nine other colleagues sent the letter Wednesday to Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray criminally referring former FBI Director James Comey, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for their involvement in the investigations into President Trump and alleged violations of federal law. FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and his paramour FBI lawyer Lisa Page, whose anti-Trump text messages obtained by the DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, were also included in the referral.

Lordy!

Is anyone else picking up on this, other than Fox? A quick search on Google with "Criminal Referrals for Comey, Clinton, Lynch to DOJ" and there's nothing from CNN or NYT, or MSNBC, or anyone but Fox

I'm not going to fall into a version of the "buckle up" mentality.

I hope these things get thoroughly and justly investigates, I just won't hold my breath.

They can't report on it because the DNC likely hasn't come up with talking points yet.

They're having Kevin Spacey prep the script right now. Just as soon as they get him away from that middle school playground, lol...

So can we assume that if Sessions doesn't order the DOJ to open a criminal investigation...he's gone? Whats the likelihood of that?

Quote:The congressional members also are referring former presidential candidate Clinton for her role in the dossier, assembled by former British spy Christopher Steele, who was hired by cutout embattled research firm Fusion GPS. After months of investigations by Congress, it was eventually discovered that the dossier was paid for by the Hillary Clinton Campaign and the Democratic National Committee. However, the campaign did not reveal that they had allocated money to pay for the research on their disclosure forms, according to congressional members and news reports.

“A lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid Washington firm Fusion GPS to conduct research that led to the Steele dossier, according to an October 24, 2017, report in The Washington Post,” the letter states. ” Accordingly, for disguising payments to Fusion GPS on mandatory disclosures to the Federal Election Commission, we refer Hillary Clinton to DOJ for potential violation(s) of 52 USC 30121 and 52 USC 30101.”

If she ever takes the stand, I'm betting her response will be, "I don't recall".

Where are our leftists friends? Buckling up?

Waiting on their talking points.

Agreed.

I think this is rather long overdue, but I also know pretty well how the swamp functions. All about wielding power, and these few have a considerable amount.

We’ll see. I’ve been buckled for something like 20 months now, what’s a few more... lol

Good question. Sarah had commented last week that there were criminal referrals coming, though I thought she meant Horowitz would be make the referral on Lyin' Andy McCabe to Huber.

With these being politicians, I don't know how these referrals stack up against what a regular prosecutor would be doing.
