It's a sad and desperate move by the Trumpo gang, which suddenly makes it seem like Trump has a lot to hide. The narrative Trump is putting out is nuts saying because some of the FBI investigators are Republican and thus obviously anti-Trump and other FBI investigators are Democrats and thus also obviously anti-Trump the FBI can't be impartial. Only Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is free of dislike of Trump enough to investigate Trump - and certainly Melania Trump has to recuse herself from the investigation after she showed obvious bias at the State of the Union Address. Sad. Lame. Pathetic. Wouldn't stand up in any court of law outside the Soviet Union or Putin's Russia.

Yes, 99% accurate. The only realistically disputed item IMO is whether the Dem contention that the Trump investigation by the FBI began with another non-dossier issue is true. Not much evidence of that so far, and I would have expected to see it leaked as part of the political wrestling re: the dossier so I’m not impressed. There has otherwise been, after a year of investigation, no evidence of Trump’s collusion with Russians. In fact, the opposite is true. Another item is that Nunes’ Committee intends to investigate the State Department for generally the same thing. Good grounds seem to exist for a finding that it also acted illegally against Trump. Finally, the DOJ’s Inspector General’s report is not yet out. I expect it to lay to rest any doubts that the FBI and the DOJ acted illegally against Trump. Bottom line: all of this illegal activity is very, very troublesome. Highly placed bureaucrats, acting in conspiracy with Hillary and DNC, decided that Trump should never be President. They used the highly sophisticated technical weapons available to them to derail the election. They continued their failed attempt after the election. None of this in my estimation could have happened in the absence of Obama’s approval. Whether it can be proven is another matter. So far, the DNC is directly implicated via payments via law firm to Fusion GPS who in turn paid Steele, who concocted the dossier. The FBI internally deemed the dossier unverifiable, cut off payments to Steele, but used it nonetheless to obtain warrant allowing spying on Trump’s campaign. So, payments were made to Steele by the FBI and the DNC. The DNC was Hillary’s puppet, so draw your own conclusions. I personally believe that the DNC and the FBI acted in concert. Many of the FBI agents involved have been fired or demoted. The ultimate reason is easy to discern. No one thought Hillary would lose, so acting per DNC bidding placed these career bureaucrats in a fine career position following her presumptive election. Their illegal acts would never see the light of day. They expected to be rewarded by Clinton for taking legal risks for her. After a couple of years of service in a higher position, I think they expected much like their predecessors to go into the private sector and make big incomes trading on their relationships. So, the net ultimate reason is our old friend, greed, the source of all evil. But Trump did win. And he had been warned by someone, somehow, so he ran a clean campaign. He sounded like a lunatic when he made accusations early on, but he’s been proven right. He’s intent on exacting revenge, and the bureaucracy, as well as those who cannot stomach him, are fighting fiercely. They have a lot to defend and a lot to lose. What we have in essence is an intra-governmental civil war within the Executive Branch. Its resolution will have enormous repercussions. I have no idea who will win, but I think the majority of the relatively intelligent US populace see what’s going and don’t like how Trump is being treated, especially by a media that is so easily seen as biased. The populace will have the ultimate say in what happens because (I hope) our democracy is robust.
