Um... this isnt some new bombshell... Dont you guys remember the Carter Page where they knew about the dossier in 2016? Or McCain delivering it to the FBI in 2016? Or Steele sending it to the FBI/congress in 2016? Or the News media sitting on it in 2016 because they couldnt verify it?

At this point it's more likely to be Adam Schiff who resigns to avoid impeachment. He's been caught leaking classified information, and now apparently committed perjury.
And that's before we even get into the dead male hookers that he and his close friend Ed Buck were intimately familiar with.

Those of us who have closely followed the unfolding scandal at the Justice Department— particularly how the FBI abused its power not only to spy on the Trump presidential campaign but also on the president himself—have been frustrated with the inaction both of the White House and Congress. Documents have not been declassified as promised; letters by top lawmakers have gone unanswered with no consequence; and not one perpetrator in the biggest political scandal in history has been held accountable.
The New York Times over the weekend confirmed the worst suspicions: Andrew McCabe, a disgraced FBI official caught lying to federal investigators and fired by Trump, and his corrupt lackeys opened up a criminal and counterintelligence probe into President Trump on the flimsiest of evidence in May 2017.
Further, statements from William Barr, Trump’s nominee for attorney general, seem to indicate he would be deferential to Special Counsel Robert Mueller rather than focus on the real scandal. It was unclear whether a change in leadership at the Justice Department and on the Senate Judiciary Committee (Lindsey Graham took the reins from Charles Grassley this year) would restart stalled congressional inquiries.
A Clean-Up Pledge
But Barr’s confirmation hearing on Tuesday assuaged those concerns.
Republican senators expressed outrage that the FBI had investigated a sitting U.S. president, and Barr seemed to share their disgust. Graham brought up the Times article and asked Barr to “promise me and this committee to look into this and tell us whether or not a counterintelligence investigation was opened up by somebody at the FBI, Department of Justice against President Trump?” Barr confirmed he would. Graham read aloud derogatory texts, some including profanity, about Trump between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.
Barr admitted he was “shocked” when he first saw the texts. Graham then walked through a litany of offenses at the Justice Department and FBI, including the FISA warrant on Carter Page and Fusion GPS’s ties to Justice official Bruce Ohr and his wife, Nellie, who also worked with dossier author Christopher Steele.
“We are relying on you to clean this place up,” Graham told Barr.

Your sources, speak for themselves. Seriously.
This is actually old news swept under the rug since August. Was reported on MSM even. Nice try.

Looks like they were waiting for the new AG to be confirmed...

There is an old Japanese saying, "the one who raises their voice first loses". Keep your damn voice down, and provide sources when making claims. While google works well, that's not gonna cut it as a source.

Hilarious listening to libbies call these sources questionable, while today they're all running around spouting off about a BUZZFEED article where the author has already admitted they haven't seen the source material themselves.
