⁉️WHAT⁉️

Sen @ChuckGrassley & @LindseyGrahamSC recommend that DOJ pursue *criminal charges* against Christopher Steele, alleging that he lied to federal authorities about his contacts w/reporters regarding information in the #SteeleDossier‼️🤬 1/

If Christopher Steele really lied to the FBI or other federal agents, have NO DOUBT that Team🇺🇸Mueller / DOJ would have already pursued criminal charges.🙄

Grassley’s and Graham’s push for criminal charges is LUDICROUS and politically driven‼️ 2/

In Dec’16, @LindseyGrahamSC: “The first thing we want to establish is, ‘Did the #Russians hack into our political system?’ Then you work outward from there.”🤔

Now, he & Grassley are leading the #GOP hit job on Steele in a pathetic attempt to discredit his #SteeleDossier‼️🙄3/

Of course, the *real* agenda of the #GOP is to discredit Mueller’s #TrumpRussia🇷🇺investigation, even though it’s CLEAR that the FBI had *other* evidence that instigated @Comey’s / USIC’s initial probe‼️🤬 4/

The chances that Steele is charged, let alone convicted, are close to ZERO‼️

This is a SPECIOUS attempt by 2 sitting senators to derail an investigation of #Russia’s🇷🇺overt acts to subvert our democracy by throwing the election to @realDonaldTrump‼️ 5/

I have ZERO doubt that today’s announcements of this RIDICULOUS claim against Steele, along with DOJ’s investigation of the Clinton Foundation, are SMOKESCREENS to cloud what’s coming‼️

And it’s NOT good for Team🇷🇺Treason.
