Summary
This document, stamped with a House Oversight footer, argues against the legitimacy of the 'Crossfire Hurricane' investigation into the Trump campaign. It contends that the investigation violated Justice Department norms regarding election-year impartiality and asserts there was no evidence of collusion when the probe began. The text contrasts the scrutiny of the Trump campaign with the activities of the Clinton campaign (funding the Steele dossier) and the Podesta Group's ties to Russian entities.
