Dems tell Rosenstein, Wray not to bow to GOP pressure
Source: Politico
Democrats urged Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray in a letter made public Thursday not to bend to pressure by congressional Republicans and hand over national security information.
Wray and Rosenstein are set to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday about a bombshell inspector general report released earlier this month, which found that former FBI Director James Comey made mistakes during an investigation into Hillary Clintons private email server.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer signed the letter addressed to the pair, along with Rep. Adam Schiff of California and Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, warning that handing over sensitive material in response to Republicans' demands for documents could compromise the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
With every disclosure, DOJ and FBI are reinforcing a precedent it will have to uphold, whether the Congress is in Republican or Democratic hands, of providing materials in pending or closed cases to the legislative branch upon request, the letter says. As the attacks on the Special Counsel intensify, it is imperative that you withstand pressure on DOJ and FBI to violate established procedures and norms. Your role in preserving the integrity of the Special Counsels investigation and, most importantly, our justice system has become even more vital.
