WASHINGTON (AP) — In the panel’s first act since Democrats took the majority, the House intelligence committee voted Wednesday to send more than 50 interview transcripts from its now-closed Russia investigation to special counsel Robert Mueller.

Two Republican members of the panel, Reps. Michael Conaway of Texas and Chris Stewart of Utah, confirmed the outcome of the vote, which took place behind closed doors.
===============================================
Two REDs caved in this first move toward getting rid of Trump & his crime family.

Yes, further proof that the ONLY "RUSSIAN COLLUSION" was by the Hillary Campaign/Obama Adm. is going to be detrimental to Pres.Trump and his family.

Go the Big Mean Documents include how Trump MADE COHEN LIE TO CONGRESS ABOUT THE MOSCOW PROJEC THAT WASN'T? :lamo

Not just that, but Schiff has announced the 5 areas here the house intelligence committee will be investigating. Just look at #5.

Wonder how ol' Devin Nunes' day is going?

Why are you always screaming? If it's to make sure people know how serious you are, it has the exact opposite effect. Type like an adult and make reasoned, emotion-free arguments.

As far as I'm concerned, Nunes' skulking in & out of the WH to seek guidance from Trump was treason against the U.S. Or at least conspiracy.

Ah. I wonder what made Republicans decide to stop trying to stonewall the committee by refusing to assign its minority members.

Political posturing...nothing more. Mueller already has...and already has used...access to the House committee interviews.

Interesting question. I doubt it was guilty consciences.

Not sure, but what this means is that the HIC will now be investigating how one of its own members, former Chair Nunes, obstructed its investigation.

And I, for one, find that absolutely delicious.

Once again, he needs official copies if he wants them to indict anyone. They send all so no one is considered a target until they are indicted.

Has something like that happened before?

Not really sure, but it's likely there's never been such transparent criminality on the part of a committee chair before. Could be wrong, of course.

I listened to a Preet Bahrara podcast in which he or a guest made it clear that a Congressman is effectively immune for anything he says on the floor, though of course Nunes did a hell of a lot more than just talk.
