'Dossier' firm says U.S. senator's leaks endanger its employees

(Reuters) - The research firm behind the so-called Trump dossier accused U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley on Monday of endangering its employees by ignoring multiple requests not to publicly disclose their names.
In a letter to Grassley, which also criticized Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, lawyers for Washington-based Fusion GPS said the firm had twice reported unspecified threats to the police and had tried to keep its employees names confidential because of well-founded concerns about their public safety.

Fusions lawyers complained that the names of Fusion employees were publicly disclosed in six letters issued last week by Grassley and Senator Graham, a judiciary subcommittee chairman, although the companys lawyers on multiple occasions had asked committee staff members to avoid doing so.

(32,356 posts)I wouldn't put it past him, since he's probably mad that Feinstein released the Fusion testimony. Now he's reasserting his authority as Committee Chairman, and running rough-shod over the privacy rights of citizens.
After this, who's going to voluntarily testify to the Senate Judiciary committee? Nobody, that's who.
