Grassley Comments On FBI Investigation Into Clinton Emails
(Akron) — U-S Senator Chuck Grassley was in Akron at the Hole in the Wall hunting lodge on Sunday attending the annual Colonel George E. “Bud” Day memorial pheasant hunt as hosted by Iowa 4th District Republican Congressman Steve King. Grassley was the special guest attending the breakfast. Grassley
explained to King’s supporters, and defended his actions for not holding a Senate Judicial Committee hearing for President Obama’s nominee for the U-S
Supreme Court.
Grassley urged the gathering to inform their friends and neighbors how important this presidential election is in terms of the long-term decisions made on the U-S Supreme Court.
Following up to his comments about the U-S Supreme Court, and referring to
Congressman Steve King and himself, Grassley emphasized to the group who are the people to write legislation, and who are the people to interpret the laws.
Grassley spoke to reporters following the breakfast and commented on the new
allegations and startup investigation of the F-B-I against Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and additional email messages that were not on a secured computer internet server. Grassley says he wants the FBI to take their time, and conduct a thorough investigation into the new allegations.
Although in many polls, the republican senator leads his Democratic challenger, Patty Judge, by double-digits, Grassley says he can not afford to relax on his campaign.
Iowa Republican Congressman Steve King, also addressed the new investigation by the FBI into Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Cherokee’s Sanford Museum To Get New Projector
CHEROKEE, Iowa (AP) – A museum in northwest Iowa is marking the retirement of its vintage planetarium projector.
The Sanford Museum and Planetarium held a retirement party for its 1951 Spitz A-1 planetarium projector on Sunday. The equipment was used for one final star gazing show.
The old projector will be replaced by a new digital version as part of nearly $1 million in upgrades to the museum in Cherokee, Iowa. The museum will be without planetarium shows for about six months during the project.
Museum director Linda Burkhart says the projector was the first one in the state and has been used for countless educational programs over the years.
But even after retirement, the old projector will remain at the museum and be put on display.
