California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff said if President Donald Trump's attorneys try to assert executive privilege to stop the public release of special counsel Robert Mueller's eventual report, he would likely compel publication in some form.
"I'm prepared to make sure we do everything possible so that the public has the advantage of as much of the information as it can," Schiff said on CNN's "State of the Union."
Schiff is expected to chair the House Intelligence Committee when Democrats take the chamber next month, and he said he would likely use his subpoena power to obtain and release Mueller's eventual report if he needed to.
"Now, there may be parts of the report that have to be redacted because they involved classified information or they involve grand jury material," Schiff said, adding, "This case is just too important to keep from the American people what it's really about."

(34,661 posts)As of Jan 3 2019, Speaker Pelosi has control of Purse(spending) as well as Oversight of every aspect of our Government.
Most importantly,she controls the use of the power of subpoena for all Governmental Agencies to be called to task. And Lying to Congress will cause many to think twice about their personal agendas .
Trump will do his best to make changes before next Thursday. And some are going to be butt ugly.

This whole Mid East thing has one common thread and that is what is in it for me(Trump and Friends)down the road.

(51,584 posts)with Turkey must have surprised them a bit too. He is so impulsive, even his pals are thrown by it. I think that is why some of them have been laying low and not testing him as much as they would be if he were a sane POTUS. N. Korea and ISIS don't know what the Hell he will do one minute to the next.

(34,661 posts)what he did,there had to be something monetary tied to this. He reacts to the last thing he heard or call he took. This is going to be one hell of a shit show in the coming months. When pulling out troops,it a extremely tight schedule for pull out. And the despoilment of a rear guard until everyone is out.
