Little confused though. Grassley is the one who pulled that bait & switch with Manafort & Don Jr testifying to subpoena Glenn Simpson from Fusion (the one who is allegedly going to point fingers at Hillary about her "involvement" with the Steele Dossier - the "real" Russian scandal. I thought Grassley was one of the bad guys - why is he not on board with Sessions (then Mueller's) dismissal?
