Lawmakers to review whistleblower complaint on Wednesday

Members of the U.S. House and Senate intelligence committees will be able to read a copy of the whistleblower complaint later on Wednesday that is at the center of an impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump, a congressional official said.

The official, who requested anonymity, said Congress would receive its own copies on Thursday.

Representative Devin Nunes,

the top Republican on the House panel,

said on the House floor that members of the House committee would be able to view the complaint at 4 p.m. (2000 GMT), according to House officials.

“I should make the House aware that ...

at 4 o’clock this afternoon the DNI is going to transmit the complaint to the intelligence committees

where all the Intelligence Committee members will have an opportunity to read it,”

6 weeks in the Trump admin are like years so I guess he's got some sort of point. People usually get hired than fired within the week over there.

I’m not even saying they need to impeach. However, there’s no way they shouldn’t establish clear jurisprudence (which exists, but it’s rarely revisited) that Congress has the power to investigate.

It’s flooring how Congress subpoenas are as good as toilet paper right now, and all these lawsuits attempting to stop Congress to carry out its basic duties will drive its investigative powers the same route.

That’s why, IMO, it’s not an option anymore.

This is actually something a good congress would never do

It doesn’t have to get there. Withholding full do entation from Congress should be a major offense, however, and Congress should fight it off.
