Please explain. Also explain the decision to withhold from the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fisc.uscourts.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"homepage noopener\">Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court<\/a> that the dossier was financed by the Hillary Clinton campaign.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>You say you knew the dossier was funded by a \u201cDemocrat-aligned\u201d group but that you \u201cnever knew\u201d which one. Why not? Didn\u2019t the FBI have a duty to find out?<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Please explain the extraordinary accommodations the FBI provided Team Clinton during the email investigation. Why was <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Cheryl Mills\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cheryl_Mills\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener wikipedia\">Cheryl Mills<\/a> \u2014whose emails suggest she had early knowledge of the irregular server as <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Hillary Clinton\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hillary_Clinton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener wikipedia\">Mrs. Clinton<\/a>\u2019s chief of staff\u2014allowed to claim attorney-client privilege and represent Mrs. Clinton at her interview? Why did that interview happen only at the end?

That happened on your watch. Is this appropriate FBI behavior? Should we believe such behavior is limited to them? In addition to overt political bias, the texts prove the FBI took politics into account\u2014worrying, for instance, about how much manpower to put into investigating the woman who could be our \u201cnext president.\u201d Why should the public have any faith in the integrity of the Clinton or Trump investigation?<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The texts ridicule former Attorney General <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Loretta Lynch\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Loretta_Lynch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener wikipedia\">Loretta Lynch<\/a>\u2019s decision to step aside from the Clinton probe, \u201csince she knows no charges will be brought.\u201d This was before the FBI even interviewed Mrs. Clinton.
