"SNIP......

(CNN)The Justice Department is reviewing House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff's request to open an investigation into allegations that Trump ally Erik Prince repeatedly misled Congress during the committee's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election, according to a letter obtained by CNN.

The Department of Justice letter to Schiff, dated February 4, apologizes for the delayed response to the request filed 10 months ago.

"The Department ordinarily does not confirm or deny the existence of an investigation, and you should not interpret this acknowledgment as confirmation of an investigation of any of the matters described in your letter," it reads.

A spokesman for Prince did not respond to CNN's request for comment. The Department of Justice letter was first reported by Politico.

1. I hope there comes a day we see the records of all these DOJ "investigations" into TeamTrump.

I imagine a lot is being buried.

2. DOJ says what?

Why would anyone believe that they have anything but corrupt intention? This sounds like the prelude to another Trump/Barr whitewash.

5. I read this in Politico and found it interesting...

"It’s unclear what led the Justice Department to return to Schiff’s request 10 months later on the eve of the Senate’s decision to acquit Trump on two impeachment charges."

"In his April 30 letter, Schiff highlighted six instances in which information revealed about Prince in Mueller’s report diverged from his testimony in November 2017 before the committee. He homed in on Prince’s meeting, in the Seychelles in January 2017, with a Russian banker who is reportedly close to President Vladimir Putin of Russia, an encounter Prince later told congressional officials took place purely by chance."
