Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA)sent a letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein Wednesday demanding the Justice Department remove redactions from a text message exchanged between FBI agent Peter Strzok and former bureau lawyer Lisa Page.
The senior Iowa lawmaker contends the redactions cover up excessive spending habits of FBI officials and appear to make reference to the Obama White House exerting control over an unspecified probe.
“On May 1, 2018, and May 18, 2018, Committee staff reviewed in camera less redacted versions of the Strzok and Page text message productions provided to the Committee. On several occasions, my staff have requested that the Department of Justice provide the Committee with a redaction key, to no avail. Thus, the Committee is still in the dark about the justification the Department is relying upon to withhold that information from Congress,” wrote Grassley.
“As one example of redacted material, in a text message produced to the Committee, the price of Andrew McCabe’s $70,000 conference table was redacted. In another, an official’s name was redacted in reference to a text about the Obama White House ‘running’ an investigation, although it is unclear to which investigation they were referring.”

Please put up a pic of a poppy and remind your readers to pick one up at any VFW for the lost vets.
Two Sets of Laws.
The Congress represents THE PEOPLE.
WHO are these wanna-be Nazi's to think they can decide what they give Congress?!!
"We, the people" are their employers. They do what we TELL THEM to do, or they should be hung. NO wiggle room on that.
And who are they to REDACT info given to the people???
They, too, have forgotten their place.
Keep cheering.
