.@ProfMJCleveland the Grassley/Graham referral, when made, always appeared to be an effort to call out the FBI for lying about (denying) Chris Steele shopped dossier to the media... It makes sense Mueller would drop it like a hot potato.

Remember this was early January 2018 (prior to later admissions) when the FBI was still claiming, falsely, Chris Steele never told them of his media contacts to push the dossier.
Grassley and Graham referred Steele, because Steele openly admitted to sharing the dossier with media. The FBI was *claiming* (telling congress) Steele told them he didn't share the dossier with media. In essence the FBI was lying.
So to prove the FBI was being dishonest, Grassley and Graham made a criminal referral to the DOJ. [Both knowing the referral would force the FBI to admit (they did later) that Steele never made the claim].
