Grassley to Trumps DOJ: Prosecute Planned Parenthood

Grassley to Trump’s DOJ: Prosecute Planned Parenthood
May 1, 2017, 3:54pm Sofia Resnick

The Senate Judiciary chair sent a 547-page report to Justice Department officials that fails to provide evidence that the Planned Parenthood entities violated federal law.



Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) has resurrected a request that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecute Planned Parenthood for illegally selling fetal body parts, an allegation he appears to base primarily on a report of baseless accusations sparked by a two-year-old attack campaign on Planned Parenthood led by anti-choice activists.

These are the same activists that the California Attorney General’s Office last month charged with 15 felonies for unlawfully recording people and conspiring to invade their privacy during the campaign against Planned Parenthood, which was coordinated with GOP lawmakers.

Grassley, the Senate Judiciary Committee chair, sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Frank Comey last week, inquiring about a letter he sent in December referring Planned Parenthood Federation of America and four of its state affiliates, along with three tissue-procurement companies, for criminal prosecution related to Planned Parenthood’s former fetal tissue donation program.

Grassley sent that initial letter in the final months of the Obama administration. This time around, his letter is received by those sympathetic to his calls to criminally investigate Planned Parenthood. Sessions, the recipient of Grassley’s latest request, once called on former Attorney General Loretta Lynch to investigate the reproductive health-care organization for discredited allegations brought by anti-choice front group known as the Center for Medical Progress (CMP).

Grassley must have Alzheimer's, why else try to renew charges that have long since been disproved?

But more likely, it's congenital sphincter reversal. He's speaking out of his ass.

He fits perfectly into Trump's world, because he meets consistently low Republican standards of intellectual and mental acuity. Or, in words that he and Trump might understand, he's dumb as a rock.
