I usually skip stories like this, lots of innuendos and no one can be certain what really happens in a secretive agency till they write a book. But the more I look into this, sounds like a hit job by Chuck Grossly as a payback for this.

If you listen closely enough, politicians will usually tell you the truth – even if they don’t do it on purpose. Witness Sen. Chuck Grassley, accepting the endorsement of former President Donald Trump at a rally over the weekend in Iowa.
“I was born at night, but not last night,” Grassley told the crowd with Trump standing next to him onstage. “So if I didn’t accept the endorsement of a person who has 91% of the Republican voters in Iowa, I wouldn’t be too smart. I’m smart enough to accept that endorsement.”
The crowd laughed and applauded.
But notice what Grassley actually said: He wants Trump’s endorsement not necessarily because he admires him or agrees with him on policy or thinks the former President has a vision to lead America forward. Instead, he wants Trump’s endorsement because Trump is popular with the GOP base. That’s it. It’s that simple. Pure political calculus for a politician running for another term in November 2022.

Trump is under heat from the Justice Department, FBI raided his home/private club to take back what he shouldn't have taken, Hunter has been an easy target for the GOP, so they took a cheap shot. Wondering if Grassley, yet another Red state sleep walking senator needed Trump's endorsement? Btw, Grassley's hit job is based on whistleblower information and as such unvetted.
