Intel chief tells Schiff transcripts of Russia probe interviews cleared for release
Fox News ^ | 6 May 2020 | Brooke Singman, Mike Emanuel

Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell has told House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff that transcripts from the panel’s Russia probe are cleared for public release, as House Republicans demand access to the materials.

Grenell penned a letter -- obtained by Fox News -- this week to Schiff, D-Calif., notifying him that transcripts of all 53 interviews -- which add up to more than 6,000 pages in total -- related to foreign interference in the 2016 election can be released.

“All of the transcripts, with our required redactions, can be released to the public without any concerns of disclosing classified material,” Grenell wrote to Schiff in a letter dated May 4.

The committee, in September 2018, voted in “unanimous and bipartisan fashion” to release the transcripts of witness interviews that they conducted during the panel’s Russia probe. In November 2018, the committee transmitted the transcripts to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for an “interagency classification review to prevent the inadvertent disclosure of classified information.”

Grenell, in the letter to Schiff, said that the review of 43 of the 53 transcripts “was completed in June 2019.”

This is why we have to take back the house, and win this election all around.

He certainly won’t release anything until after the election. 6 months away.

Another day, another “bombshell”. Oops. I shredded them by mistake and killed all the witnesses, including Blowy.

As I predicted, he didn’t do it.

I expect Shiff to play more games and eventually release the docs after much delay. When he finally does there will be redactions galore to cover his tracks. This will put the burden on Grenell to essentially un-redact them, which I doubt he’ll do.

If he was serious he would have said he had no choice other than to release the docs by a date certain. He didn’t.

The wheels of justice have come off in this country.

[T]hat he (Grenell) was “willing” to release the transcripts directly from ODNI “as to ensure we comply with the unanimous and bipartisan vote to release the transcripts.”

In other words Shifty, either you release or I will. Brilliant.
