“Barr should give this traitorous cow nothing.”
He has nothing to give her. The information contained in the report she is trying to get has not been proven to be confirmed as fact. The report request is for a serious or flagrant problem, abuse, violation of law or executive order, or deficiency relating to the funding, administration, or operation of an intelligence activity. Nothing within the description of what she is asking for is proven...therefore it’s called hearsay and remains a rumor. Now, when the information can be confirmed as true or false, then it can be supplied to the appropriate committees. But they can only work with facts, not guestimations.
One limitation on the power of inquiry that this cases should have discussed concerns the contention that congressional investigations often have no legislative purpose but rather are aimed at achieving results through “exposure” of disapproved persons and activities: “We have no doubt,” wrote Chief Justice Earl Warren, “that there is no congressional power to expose for the sake of exposure.” And at this time without the AG’s determination of the factual content of the whistle blower’s report, that’s all it is and doesn’t have to be transferred until complete.
