Cabal plots to taint FBI

- Denis Slattery

A SMALL GROUP of House Republican­s are quietly investigat­ing potential corruption and conspiracy among top officials at the Department of Justice and the FBI, according to a report.

The GOPers, led by House Intelligen­ce Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), are building a case against senior leaders at the DOJ and FBI whom they say they believe mishandled informatio­n in a dossier that tracked President Trump’s ties with Russia.

Revelation­s of the panel’s efforts, first reported by Politico, come as conservati­ves are increasing­ly questionin­g the credibilit­y of the agencies as well as special counsel Robert Mueller, who is probing possible connection­s between Trump and Russia as well as Moscow’s efforts to influence the 2016 election.
