Nancy Pelosi Calls for Massive Investigations Into Trump Administrations Abuse of Power

In the wake of the Trump administration's attempts to silence the FBI, Nancy Pelosi called for both the DOJ and Congress to launch an investigation into the Trump administration's conversations with the FBI.



You know what they say: It’s the cover-up.

In the wake of the report that White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus tried to coerce the FBI into denying its investigation into the relationship between President Trump and his campaign with Russian intelligence agents, an act Pelosi labeled as potentially illegal, Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi called for both the DOJ and Congress to launch an investigation into the Trump administration’s conversations with the FBI.

“The Trump White House has been caught trying to pressure the FBI into undermining a vital national security investigation into the explosive ties between senior Trump officials and Russian intelligence agents, an action which is in violation of Department of Justice rules and which may also be illegal,” the Democratic Leader said in a statement issued Friday.

Pelosi called Priebus’ actions a “grave abuse of power”, “Political interference in the integrity of an FBI investigation into the conduct of White House officials is a grave abuse of power. The rule of law depends on the FBI’s complete independence, free from political pressure from the targets of its investigations.”

will contact Pelosi's office pronto. Because it was definitely leaked, most likely by someone within the FBI.

And any GOP Congress members that are not currently in hiding should hear this also.
