GOP case: FBI probe based on tainted evidence linked to Clinton

Congressional Republicans are seeking to make the case that the FBI’s investigation into President Trump’s campaign and possible collusion with Russia was based on flawed or politically tainted evidence connected to partisans loyal to Hillary Clinton.

The House Intelligence Committee memo spearheaded by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) that is the talk of Washington will be at the center of the argument. The release of that four-page memo is expected as early as Friday.

Another document — an eight-page criminal referral filed with the Justice Department by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) — is also part of the GOP case.

While the FBI has been protesting the release of the Nunes memo, it has been working behind the scenes to vet a version of the Grassley-Graham memo, which is expected to be released in redacted form soon. The FBI is also seeking redactions to the Nunes memo, though it is not clear the White House or congressional Republicans will agree to them.

So Hillary is to blame? You GOPers need to grow the fuck up.

Now they can wait in line for their subpoenas like their co-conspirators.

GET OVER IT! They compare apples and oranges constantly. Even the Dems do...Franken is a key example.

I can't quite figure out how it's Hillary's fault that Flynn and Papadapa pled guilty and that Gates seems to be in the process of pleading to something. I'm just saying that is one powerful woman that can make completely innocent people plead guilty. Must be some kind of new superpower.

I'll bet Hillary is to blame for those 3 Russian spy chiefs secretly meeting in the Whitehouse. Good thing the Kremlin told us about that meeting. Hillary has cheetolini so terrified he couldn't report to any U.S. news.

In the world according to GOP, Hillary is more capable than Genghis Khan ever dreamed of being.

Is that what Trump is using for his defense? Hahahahaha

Also, some of his former staff have already entered pleas, so one can assume the FBI knew how to sort through information (some good, some bad) from many sources to obtain FISA warrants.

Eight whole pages of "Hillary is a big booger with boogers on top!" Yeah, they've pounded every other anti-Hillary meme into the ground, and they have reverted to five year old name calling that is sure to rouse the base.
