'Chuck, this is serious': Patrick Leahy calls for 'urgent' hearing on White House attacks on DOJ, FBI

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., is urging Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, to schedule an "urgent" Judiciary Committee hearing on the Trump administration's "escalating politicized attacks" of the Justice Department and the FBI.

“During my four decades in the Senate, I have never before seen our nation’s career, apolitical law enforcement officials so personally and publicly maligned by politicians — indeed, by our president," he wrote in a note alongside the letter, which was initially dated Jan. 30 but made public Saturday.

The letter contained a hand-written note, "Chuck, this is serious."

The false accusations that the President of the United States colluded with Russia is serious.  The fake dossiers handed to a judge is serious.  The fact that the Clinton administration tried to tamper with the election is serious.  Perhaps Mr. Leahy there needs to be a special counsel investigating Rosenstein and Muller!!
