There is precedent. Congress subpoenaed the Starr report I believe.

I do not believe that congress made a request on this scale when it came to the Starr report. Correct me if you have evidence saying otherwise.

I just read up on the Starr report. There were different rules back then. And it was voted on to be made public, but back then, the special prosecutor left out grand jury details since they knew it was going to be made public. Now, the rules are that the AG is in charge of what is public and what is not. And it is illegal to reveal grand jury testimony, afaik.

Wrong. Starr handed his report over to Congress because he was operating under the old Independent Counsel law — which meant he reported to Congress, not the DOJ. That law was allowed to expire in 1999, so it has no relevance today.

You should ask a mod to delete this false post.

Start was empaneled under a different statute.
But honesty and intellect have never been your strong points, have they?
