A rare calm has settled upon the House Intelligence Committee, as a bipartisan desire to see special counsel Robert Mueller’s findings has at least temporarily brought together the two parties.
According to a Politico report, Rep. Mike Conaway (R-TX), who once clamored for chairman Adam Schiff’s (D-CA) resignation, is giving him much of the credit.
“Let’s keep looking through the front windshield and not reprise a fight that’s behind us,” Conaway said. “The committee for the last several weeks has operated old school, and that’s a credit to leadership — Adam Schiff’s leadership as well as Devin’s,” he added of ranking member Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA).
The two Californians teamed up on letters to the Justice Department, demanding the unredacted Mueller report and underlying intelligence. The DOJ ignored those requests, and Schiff fired off a subpoena to force the issue on Thursday.
“On this issue, we’ve had a confluence of interest,” Schiff told Politico. “How long that will persist, I don’t know. I hope it continues.”
looks like the abomination’s claim of executive privilege over the release of the entire Mueller report and it’s attendant documents isn’t going to hold water even in the republikkkan cult. I’m sure Roberts is paying attention to right wing rumblings and won’t be risking his reputation to side with an obviously corrupt ‘president’.
Devin want the report so he can try and help the GOP brace for what will be eventually public.
And selective leaks…obviously

I wouldn’t hold my breath on this… I think it’s just as likely that this is just a ‘rope a dope’ strategy by these R’s to give them the look of being bipartisan. The executive is going to be sure to push this to the Supreme Court, and count on the two new tRump Toadies on the court to rule in their favor.
