We are NOT asking for conclusions from the FBI... we are asking for FACTS (in the form of a REPORT)

....from the FBI! This is known by Sen. Graham and others. (This includes Graham's THREAT to fellow committee members) It would take about ONE WEEK for the FBI to do this!

Of them characterizing this farce of a hearing as the same thing as an FIN investigation.

I am also just sickened they keep telling the Dems they could have just asked the FBI themselves when they know full well it doesn't work that way.

Did you see how mad Grassley got when Durbin suggested that he turn to WH counsel and request an investigation?

The whole herd is being deliberately obtuse about the difference between an investigation and a hearing.
