Republicans Get Sleazy By Urging The FBI To Illegally Leak Clinton Email Investigation

In a display of utter desperation, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) indirectly encouraged someone at the FBI to illegally leak the details of the Hillary Clinton email investigation.

The Des Moines Register reported:

Grassley, Iowa’s senior senator and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said an anonymous and unauthorized release of FBI investigative materials could result if officials at the agency believed prosecution of Clinton was stymied for political reasons. “Is there going to be political interference? If there’s enough evidence to prosecute, will there be political interference?” Grassley wondered aloud during a breakfast meeting with the Des Moines A.M. Rotary club on Friday. “And if there’s political interference, then I assume that somebody in the FBI is going to leak these reports and it’s either going to have an effect politically or it’s going to lead to prosecution if there’s enough evidence.”

….

When asked by Radio Iowa reporter O. Kay Henderson after the breakfast if he was suggesting the FBI should leak investigative findings, Grassley expounded on his comment.

“I wouldn’t be encouraging it because if it’s a violation of law, I can’t be encouraging a violation of law,” he said. “This is kind of my own opinion, this is something I’ve heard.”

Typical FOX News-type bullshit, "someone said" "It's something I've heard" "People are asking"... Always someone else.

1. Sleaze would be to protect someone committing crimes for political favors

Especially someone who gave secrets to. Foreign governments.

2. Grassley is the worst. Republicans always accuse Democrats of what they, themselves are doing

in spades. His ex-aide is the likely source of leaks at the FBI. They know they can't win on ideas. They always try to disqualify their opponent. From Benghazi to Grassley's latest garbage, they will lose again in the end.
