“W/respect to Western ideals and who it is and what it is we stand 4 as Americans, Russia poses the most dangerous threat to that way of life,” Ms. Page told investigators for [the] House”

This is astonishing. A bad novel. And Special Counsel Mueller’s report and USA Huber’s report should deal with the consequences of the Bureau believing itself authorized to initiate such a probe w/o DAG or AG approval.
