During today’s hearing with Senate Judiciary Committee, FBI Director James Comey had a very interesting exchange at about three hours and 50 minutes into the hearing. US Senator Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) asks Comey if he is already working with any prosecutors in the U.S. Department of Justice related to the investigation related to Russian interference, including possible Trump team collusion.
He replied: YES!!! He is working with TWO of them!
- Main Department of Justice, National Security Division
- US Attorney’s Office, Eastern Virginia
I admit to being no expert, but my friend who just retired from a US Attorney’s Office says that this is more important than it seems. It means that charges are being considered. She said it is too bad that someone did not follow up and ask about grand juries as one or more may be underway or convening soon.
The video below picks up just before the exchange at 3:50:32 in this video:
