      Ratcliffe said Strzok had less than 30 minute convo abt being removed. Strzok said Mueller never asked him abt the texts, or if he acted upon bias reflected in the texts. Yes we know SC removed him from case, but what did Mueller do to make sure Strzok didn't introduce bias.

          Goodlatte: interpret subpoena that limits docs turned over. DOJ and FBI (Lynch and Yates) and WH. Why have you not produced these docs? Rosenstein: I'm not sure I'm well aware. I've heard suggestions subpoena may not be valid. We're going to do anything we can to obtain.
