Senate Intel leaders Feinstein and Grassley grim and silent after Trump-Russia briefings with Comey
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/senate-intel-leaders-feinstein-and-grassley-grim-and-silent-after-trump-russia-briefings-with-comey/
After closed door meetings with FBI Director James Comey on Wednesday, top members of the Senate Intelligence Committee looked grim and rattled and refused to divulge the contents of the meeting to reporters.
At around 5 p.m. E.T. on Wednesday, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) faced reporters but revealed little about their meetings with Comey.
This briefing was all on sensitive matters, Feinstein said, and highly classified and its really not anything we can answer any questions about.
Comey has been at the center of multiple controversies lately, from his decision to make a later-discredited announcement about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clintons email server in the days before the 2016 election, to whether or not his agency is currently investigating Donald Trumps campaign for colluding with the Russian government.

Grassley, knowing what he does is still going along with the Trump/Republican agenda.

Grassley is the Chair that held up Pres. Obama's Supreme court nomination. He is smug fool.

Trumpy doesn't have an ounce of patriotism in him. He pledges allegiance to himself and his money.

I also went thru same process. IMO, it'll be rolling resignations or impeachment/removals...

I agree. I think there are so many compromised people that Drumpf will be one in the crowd.

I don't think there are enough in congress that would be willing to protect democracy.

Any actual charges would have to be filed via the DOJ. The FBI can't directly charge/indict.
