Schiff and Nunes: Mueller ‘Must Brief’ Intel Committee—And Turn Over All His Materials
Daily Beast ^ | 04/15/2019 | Betsy Woodruff

Posted on 04/15/2019 10:44:26 AM PDT by GIdget2004

The top two members of the House intelligence committee have said Special Counsel Robert Mueller “must” brief them on his investigation, according to a letter obtained by The Daily Beast.

The letter, signed by Democratic Chairman Adam Schiff and Republican Ranking Member Rep. Devin Nunes, was sent on March 27, shortly after Attorney General Bill Barr released a short letter summarizing Mueller’s findings. They sent it to Barr, FBI Director Chris Wray, and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

The letter asked for Mueller and other senior members of his team to brief the committee on their work. It also asked for all the materials Mueller gathered during his probe: “all materials, regardless of form and classification, obtained or produced by the Special Counsel’s Office in the course of the investigation, including but not limited to any addenda or annexes to the full report, or separate intelligence or counterintelligence-related reports; scope-related materials regarding the investigation’s parameters, areas of inquiry, and subjects; investigative records and materials,” as well as raw reporting and finished analysis related to his work.

The letter was a rare moment of bipartisan concord on the notoriously fractured committee, and suggests Schiff and Nunes will work together to extract as much information and detail as possible from Mueller’s team.

Nunes is wrong. A/G Barr owes Congress NOTHING.

Congress did not commission the Mueller Report. Congress can get a copy - like everyone else - when it is released.

And then do with it as they wish.

Schiff can’t be trusted to see ANY materials. He’ll leak so fast it would make your head spin.

I guess he figures we paid $30 million for that opposition research and it’d be a shame to let that go to waste.

And, maybe THAT is what Nunes wants.
Release of Committee Sensitive materials is a violation of the Secrets Act and Schiffy could be digging his own grave just that much deeper.

Mueller’s team should release only one copy to the committee, make them sign a contract that it will never be duplicated, shared, or displayed to ANYONE outside the committee, and then they should place strategic but subtle factual anomalies in the documents. When they are leaked, and content begin to show up, including the anomalies, they should investigate schiff with the same fervor they investigated Trump.

Okay, I’ll wake up from my completely unrealistic daydream now.

Now, with the support of Devin Nunes, the committee chairman, Adam “Colander” Schiff, can really demonstrate his power to intimidate the DOJ.

Little Adam will be like the kid throwing a tantrum at the grocery store. It is all just an act.

I would think Mueller owes someone an answer as to how in a two year Russian collusion investigation Clinton’s name never came up.

He certainly is childlike.

How about we call him Little Leaky Adam.

I can understand this schiff from Schiff, but Nunes?

The special counsel was not appointed by Congress, nor was he working under a law specifically passed by Congress.

He was appointed by, and given a scope of work by acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

The only office entitled to see the full report is the office that commissioned its writing - the Attorney General.

Yep - but if the story is true, Nunes has a whole different agenda which will leave Schiff hiding in the head...
