I’m not excited about having to report this, but it’s a real concern and I think Grassley is right to raise it.
All we have experienced is delay, delay, delay when it comes to the Horowitz IG FISA report.

Steele also claimed that there was a “well-developed conspiracy of coordination” between the Trump team and Russians.
