The House Intelligence Committee unanimously voted Thursday to release hours of private testimony from an interview with the co-founder of the firm that compiled the infamous anti-Trump dossier, Fox News has learned. The Committee voted to make public the transcript of the November interview with Fusion GPS’ Glenn Simpson, who testified behind closed doors. The transcript will be posted to the committee’s website Thursday afternoon. “Democrats and Fusion GPS supporters will get some unwelcome surprises if this is published,” a Republican source told Fox News ahead of the vote. Simpson and Fusions' co-founder Peter Fritsch penned an Op-Ed for The New York Times earlier this month calling for the release of transcripts.

Selectively releasing transcripts during an ongoing investigation. How is this good again?

Can someone post a link to the site where the release will take place.

OTOH, Schiff is a first rate D1ck. He is only calling for release because it was happening anyway. The Dems blocked other items release in the same subject area.

My understanding is a judge ruled Fusion GPS would have to turn over all the bank records. But this was news I heard at least a week ago. Have not heard any details since then regarding the bank records. Should be interesting as Fusion GPS was paying journalists to push stories.

Sure. It's an on-and-on-and-on-and-ongoing investigation.

To answer your question, perhaps it will pressure somebody into prosecuting.

Shining the light of day on everything is always a good idea.

If you’re not committing crimes you have nothing to lose.

If you are, you should pay the price. No matter who you are or which ideology you profess.

Kinda cool how the GOP votes on stuff like this while DiFi just gets a cold, loses her senses, and released a transcript without consequence.

They want the testimony released so all the other players know what kind of lies to tell so they do not contradict Benedict Simpson.

There are always downsides (some will claim it lets co-conspirators synchronize their stories), but IMHO it’s useful to get whatever Simpson claimed into the public domain, exactly as he claimed it, without filtering. Vast numbers of people can identify the lies and contradictions — or at least see where he refused to answer, as well as improve timelines and knowledge of details. Doing so creates pressure and ideas for next steps and for doing something about the ongoing coup attempt. I do not trust the FBI or Congress to actually pursue things. This process has to be nudged along by a constant revelation of small pieces.

Ain’t they a bit late?

I do believe the horse has already left the barn. Closing the door now only allows a draft.

She is setting a precedence for when Her Thighness is brought up on charges. She can just point at Swinestein and say she just had a cold and I had ALL these other ailments. That is why I did it.....

The nutless Pubbielicans will say oh poor lil thing we can see how that can happen.... and of she will go.

that’s what I thought - she’s in the senate so maybe the testimony to her wasn’t the same as to house...

Does this mean the nuclear impact of $hitWhole has moved off the news cycle and will be replaced by Transcript Fools & Follies?
