Internal Justice Department emails have become public after a veteran FBI agent alleged he was pressured to stop investigating who funded the Steele dossier.
The whistleblower says he raised concerns about “unambiguous concealment” of Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee funding,
but instead of acting, senior officials shut the inquiry down.
Sen. Chuck Grassley released the emails, arguing the issue is not administrative mistakes but whether justice was applied unevenly.
The controversy grew because officials named by the agent later helped oversee the Arctic Frost investigation, which led to criminal charges against Donald Trump.
Critics point to a sharp contrast: the Clinton campaign and DNC received relatively small civil fines for misreporting opposition research spending,
while Trump faced a broad criminal probe. Grassley says the emails suggest more than error, raising questions about
whether some actors were protected while others were aggressively pursued. At stake, he argues, is public trust in equal enforcement of the law.
