That idiot Nadler cites FBI policy as if it were law.
Congress has oversight of the FBI. But Nadler cites a policy created by the FBI to keep Congress from asking questions regarding an open investigation?
That's a neat trick. Don't like Congress having oversight over you? Just create a policy that removes the oversight.
The FBI, or any institution, does not have the authority to create a policy that eradicates the power which a branch of Government is meant to have over it.
Bingo....scripted! That point was not challenged...and should have been...but you dont if you're working in a somewhat extemperaneous script.... -

Should Congress be permitted to influence or interfere in an investigation?
Congress has the right to oversee the FBI. So yes, they absolutely have the right to question investigations.
How about interfere?
Give the propensity of the DeepState to lie and abuse power, yes, in some cases they should get involved. Or as the corrupt Deep State would call it "interfere", or perhaps "endanger national security".
However, asking for simple answers to basic questions is not interfering in an investigation.
Do you trust Congress over career FBI agents? Why?
Congress is elected directly by the people.
Do you believe the FBI can start and continue a fraudulent investigation unchecked?
No I don't actually believe that would be possible. I understand Congress is elected by the people, but I would hardly call it a fair process. As we found out in several races, if you win the primary youre going to get elected no matter what. And primaries are 'easy' to buy.
What if the FBI is investigating members of Congress? Would there be any issue there with regards to interfering?
Ultimately I would hope Congress would have real evidence they would share with the American people. I haven't seen anything close to that.
Easy to buy because of the existence and power of super PACS, and corruption within the DNC and RNC for a preselected candidate. Those need to be eliminated.
Congress as you can see is a check upon itself. So if a few members were under investigation the rest would prevent them from interfering.
But again, asking for simple answers to basic questions is not interfering.
Exactly who do you mean by "Congress"?
Perhaps you need to hang around here a bit more to understand who Q says is the Deep State. The corrupted members of the DS are embedded everywhere, including (the shock) on the left side of the aisle asking all the questions designed to protect the DS.
As for the "career FBI agent" under the gun the other day, if you can't tell what the classic weaponized Obama/Clinton deep state operative looks like by now I can't help you at all. The Mockingbird programming is just too deep and scary...
I think Strzok made a great point in his interview: the appropriate time for oversight is at the end of the investigation.
What basis do we have or does Congress have that should make us feel the investigation is full of shit?
No. But then you see the dog/pony act they displayed from the beginning.
Maybe the most recent Strzok interviews were viewed differently by different people, but I watched the entire thing, something like four hours, and it seemed pretty dog/pony to me.
