Politico: GOP escalates law enforcement probes as Russia inquiry heats up
With Mueller now focusing on the president, lawmakers level new charges of bias and even potential criminal misconduct.
Amid new signs that special counsel Robert Mueller is pursuing an obstruction of justice case against President Donald Trump, Republicans in Congress have intensified their own investigations of the Justice Department's and FBI's handling of inquiries into Trump’s ties to Russia.
Tuesday brought several dramatic developments in the Russia saga, including the news that Mueller recently interviewed Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the first Cabinet official known to be questioned in the investigation. The New York Times also reported that former FBI Director James Comey was interviewed by Mueller last year.

Did these guys ever work? Seemed to be texting a whole lot.
The people inside smoke among themselves that there is/was nothing.
It was all just a disinformation campaign to create an illusion about a Trump-Russia connection.
It will come out.

"There is now a fake British GCHQ surveillance request memo making the rounds. This is not the Nunes’ memo, which was created by Congressman Nunes and his staff by cherry picking information from classified materials provided to his committee by the DOJ and FBI in order to implicate the DOJ and FBI in some sort of conspiracy against the President. The fake GCHQ memo appears to have been mainstreamed from an article here that is just a hot mess."

"But now it’s worse. Much worse. Josh Marshall over at TPM noticed it too. On Tuesday night, an actual United States senator, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, told Fox viewers he has an “informant” who says there is a “secret society” in the FBI, apparently led by Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, to TAKE TRUMP OUT:"

The numbers of Republican's lining up for orange jumpsuits, is quite hilarious.
When some wingnut goes all Pizzagate on the FBI, the FBI's probably going to get some big payback against all the enablers.
What's happening in Britain's really interesting. Ezera Levant better lawyer up bigly. I doubt Edney will represent him on the charges.
The problem with the DOJ is that it was turned into a banana republic by Obama and Holder. Lynch took over, carried the torch and then along came Comey to help construct their own massive power-fiefdom (FBI). Staffed it top to bottom with every tranzi/Marxicrat pushed through since ~2009 and then secretly interfered in the lives of political opponents and other citizens, fixed a national primary and created an industry in the art of evidence destruction. The DOJ and FBI need torn down and rebuilt.
As to "Trump Enablers and orange jumpsuits" - sounds like a serious pent-up, political revenge fantasy.

Back in 2013 Judicial Watch exclusively obtained droves of records documenting how, under Mueller’s leadership, the FBI purged all anti-terrorism training material deemed “offensive” to Muslims after secret meetings between Islamic organizations and the then-FBI chief. Judicial Watch had to sue to get the records and published an in-depth report on the scandal in 2013 and a lengthier, updated follow-up in 2015. As FBI director, Mueller bent over backwards to please radical Islamist groups and caved into their demands. The agency eliminated the valuable anti-terrorism training material and curricula after Mueller met with various Islamist organizations, including those with documented ties too terrorism. Among them were two organizations— Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)—named by the U.S. government as unindicted co-conspirators in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation terrorist financing case. CAIR is a terrorist front group with extensive links to foreign and domestic Islamists. It was founded in 1994 by three Middle Eastern extremists (Omar Ahmad, Nihad Awad and Rafeeq Jaber) who ran the American propaganda wing of Hamas, known then as the Islamic Association for Palestine.
