Grassley Busts Rosenstein On What He May Be Trying To Hide In The Secret Documents.
Senate Judiciary Chairman, Chuck Grassley, wants answers and he wants them NOW.
Grassley has given, what he considers, ample amount of time for the FBI and DOJ to hand
over key documents related to General Flynn.
Rosenstein stone-walled the release of the documents and continues to make excuses for
not releasing all of them.
But Grassley is not about to take "no" for an answer anymore, and he sent a clear
message to Rosenstein that he's messing with the wrong guy.
On Wednesday, Grassley sent a letter addressed directly to Rod Rosenstein, where he called
out the Deputy Attorney General for providing "insufficient documents" related to a
request he made on May 11 and May 25 separate letters to FBI Director Christopher Wray and
Rod Rosenstein.

Grassley asked for communication logs between General Flynn and the Russian Ambassador,
Sergey Kislyak, and transcripts of Flynn's initial interrogation conducted by the FBI
in regards to the conversations with the Ambassador.
Rosenstein eventually reached out, yet gave very little of the information Grassley had
requested, leaving him questioning what they may be trying to hide.
And he is not giving up!
In his letter to Rosenstein, Grassley pointed out that it's been well over a year since
the initial request was made in a "bipartisan basis" and it's been over 5 months since
Flynn pleaded guilty.
So, according to Grassley, there is no reason for the "improper excuses in refusing to
provide the requested information."
Grassley lays out his case and directly slammed Rosenstein and other powers that be when he
said:
"It has been more than five months since his guilty plea.
Thus, there is no longer any legitimate reason to withhold facts from the Senate about the
circumstances of his conversations with the Russian ambassador and his FBI interview."
"…Presuming that the facts are consistent with the plea agreement, there is absolutely
nothing for the Department to hide and no reason to act like it has something to hide.
Resisting Congressional oversight only serves to further undermine public trust in the Department."
Grassley also said it is "disingenuous and extremely disturbing" that Rosenstein and
the DOJ are slamming the Committee for wanting to interview Special Agent Pientka, who assisted
in interrogating Flynn.
In his recent letters, Grassley has expressed concern over former FBI Director James Comey's
inconsistent statements related to the Flynn case and is more than determined to get to
the bottom of it.
Is there key info in the secret Flynn documents?
If so, what are they desperately hiding?
Do you think it's time for Congress to take more action to force the Flynn documents from
the hands of the FBI and DOJ if they don't comply with the Senate Judiciary chairman's
demand?
What do you think about this?
