Attorneys for Former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein are submitting a letter to the Senate Intelligence Committee stating she will not supply it with all of the information they have requested about the 2016 campaign, calling the request overbroad.
According to The Intercept, which received a copy of the letter to be delivered on Thursday, Stein is refusing to turn over everything they have asked for as it related to their probe into Russian activities in the 2016 election.
In the letter addressed to committee chair Richard Burr, R-N.C., and ranking member Mark Warner, D-Va., the attorneys say the campaign will agree to turn over some documents, but raised constitutional objections over the request.
Stein has been under scrutiny over her visit to Russia where she was photographed sitting at dinner prior to the election with Russian President Vladimir Putin and former White House National Security Adviser Michael Flynn who is currently being investigated by special counsel Robert Mueller.

Where they are drawing the line is a request for communications and emails from the campaigns policy discussions regarding Russia during the same time frame.

(22,919 posts)Remember it was Grassley and Graham on that committee who referred Steele to the Justice Department for possible prosecution over his dossier. They may in fact be over reaching in the amount of campaign records that they are asking for. Or they may not. I would like to hear from Democrats on this Committee before forming an opinion on this request.
