As we have been covering the congressional investigations into FISA abuses under the Obama presidency, with the much talked about four-page memo which purportedly details how the unverified, Kremlin sourced Steele dossier, which was funded by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the DNC, was used to obtain FISA warrants to surveil the Trump campaign team, we have seen names like Andrew McCabe, Rod Rosenstein and former FBI director James Comey implicated. Other names that have been in the headlines include DOJ official Bruce Ohr, his wife Nellie, recently reassigned FBI general counsel James Baker, FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page, and member of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigative team Jeannie Rhee,

We have often referred to them as high level intelligence community employees, but as "low hanging fruit," in regards to following the evidence up the chain of command to investigate those in even more powerful positions that may have abused their positions, weaponized the FBI and DOJ and other government agencies under Obama, and violated protocols and laws.

SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE TARGETS THE HIGHER HANGING FRUIT....

There are a multitude of investigations occurring into a variety of issues, in both Senate oversight committees and House committees, as well as the DOJ's Office of Inspector General, and the DOJ itself with 27 active investigations into classified information being leaked to the press.

It appears the Senate Judiciary Committee is now climbing up the ladder to get to higher hanging fruit as six letters were sent out on January 25, 2018, by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism Chairman Lindsey Graham, related to "Potential Political Influence on FBI."

The letters were sent to The Democratic National Committee (DNC), Hillary for America (HFA), Former DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Former DNC Chair Donna Brazile, HFA Chair John Podesta, and HFA Chief Strategist Joel Benenson.

Via the press release from Senator Grassley's website, we see "The letters seek information and documents relating to those political organizations’ knowledge of and involvement in Mr. Steele’s work and his reported interactions with the FBI while he was working on behalf of these political organizations."

The letters begin with the following text:
